Hi, 

I assume you speak about the flap AFM.

I beleave it's the CO correction pot (A/F rate). As ECU does not
have loop back infos (lambda sensor) it needs to be adjusted to know
when the reference A/F is maintained.
This is a pot connected in parallel to the AFM pot with the middle
available at this pin.

Correcting the flap AFM signal is not simple at all, I'm working
on since the end of last year. You can not modify it by just putting
resistors in series or parallel.
The L-Jetro AFM has a sqrt(flow) output voltage function. In fact I'm
even not sure it's sqrt() and not any other similar function, none
information can be found today (I've searched a lot).
