RE: [DML] Re: Idle Speed Motor / Cooling

["Elvis Nocita" <elvisnocita@xxxxxx>]

Good try but not correct. The motor won't burn when you connect it directly
to +12V because this situation can happen (almost)under normal
use. (It's driven by a PWM and it won't really matter if it's 90% or 
100% so it shouldn't burn at least not within a few seconds.) It's
protected from overheating by its own resistance of the copper wires.

The ECU is not controlling the current, what it does is telling
40% open(turn left) and 60% close (turn right) or any other values depending
of the idle situation. Therefore it is possible that when 
you pull the connector one contact is disconnected before the other 
and it goes in one direction - so idle can go up or down or stay 
where it was.
