On vehicles equipped with ASC, the Engine Control Module is linked to the ASC control module through three signal lines for ASC regulation. The three signals are switched high/low input requests for power reduction/drag torque reduction. The signal paths follow the same logic as the Bosch engine management systems including:
- S-EML - Signal to the Engine Control Module of throttle regulation
- S-MSR (ZWV) - Signal request to the Engine Control Module for ignition timing retard and idle speed boost
- S-ASC (ZA) - Signal request to the Engine Control Module for fade out of ignition/injection and idle speed boost
