Chinese term or phrase: 熄火
Hello,

I am translating a test report about the lighting system of a car, and I am not sure with the term "点火﹑熄火控制装置":

"倒 车 灯:只有当倒车齿轮处于啮合状态时,而且发动机的***点火﹑熄火控制装置***处于使发动机工作状态时,倒车灯才能打开,否则应打不开。"

I know that engine control units are responsible for the ignition of a car, but I am not sure about the Action of 熄火.
So would this be a control unit for the ignition and the 熄火 (stopping?) of the Motor?

Thank you!

agree  Phil Hand: The reason you're having trouble with this is because the Chinese is not clear because it's a translation

agree  jarv95888: Sorry, Phil, but I don't think the chinese is a translation. It's pretty standard in Chinese process/expository discourse, esp. in how it ends.
