APe System
Operation
APC or Automatic Performance Control is used on turbo
models only. The APC system continuously monitors engine
detonation and adjusts the turbocharger boost pressure accordingly. This allows the engine to be run at a higher compression ratio for better fuel economy and throttle response.
See 291 Turbocharger for a complete system description
and repair information.

NOTE
On 1986 and later cars, the brake light switch cancels the APe
system when the brakes are applied, allowing the system to
operate at a reduced boost pressure.

3. Measure the resistance at the intake manifold pressure
sensor connector.

Backup Lights
Operation

Component Locations

Voltage is supplied to the backup light switch whenever the
key is on. When the transmission is in reverse and the key is
on, the switch closes to supply voltage to the backup lights.
Models with automatic transmission have a selector lever
switch that can be adjusted as described in 364 Electric Controls and Switches. Models with manual transmission have a
non-adjustable switch that screws into the side of the shift-lever housing. See 432 Manual Transmission Controls.

1. Check fuse 13.
2. With the ignition key in the off position, check for resistance across the switch terminals. There should be
continuity with the transmission in reverse and no continuity when the transmission is taken out of reverse.
3. Check for voltage at the reverse lights with transmission in reverse and the key on.

Brake Lights
Operation

Component Locations

The brake lights are supplied voltage through the brake
light switch (29). When the brake pedal is depressed, the
brake light switch closes and completes the circuit to the
brake lights. The brake switch is mounted on the upper part of
the brake pedal and is adjustable. On 1986 and later models,
a center brake light is used. See 351 Lighting for information
on changing bulbs. For troubleshooting information on the
ASS warning lights see the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
wiring diagram.

3. Check the adjustment of the brake light switch. The
brake lights should come on when the brake pedal is
depressed 10 mm (0.4 in.) or more. If necessary, adjust
the switch as described in 364 Electric Controls and
Switches.

Burglar Alarm
Operation
The burglar alarm consists of a control unit, a main switch, a
siren, switches in the doors, hood, and luggage compartment,
and a remote control unit. On some later models, a motion detector, a glass breakage detector, a service-mode switch, and
a rear seat switch are used. The alarm system is integrated
with the central locking system. See the Central Locking wiring diagram found later in this repair group.

Fault Tracing
1. Check the fuses.
2. Check that the batteries in the remote control unit are
good condition. Replace the batteries if in doubt.
3. Check the function of the LED on the left speaker grille.

4. Check all switches for proper operation.
