After pressing Q-button, throttle valve actuator will be switched on without
current.
In this condition, the throttle valve will be drawn into an emergency
position by a mechanical spring, which is located in the throttle valve
control module. The values supplied by the two angle sensors in this
emergency position are stored by the Engine Control Module (ECM). - Press buttons -0-, -6- and -0- to select "display group number 060" and
press -Q- button to confirm input.

Next, the throttle valve is opened by a certain
value. If this value is reached, the throttle valve
actuator is once again de-energized. Now, the
mechanical spring must close the throttle valve to
the previously learned emergency position within
a specified time (spring test).
Then, the throttle valve is closed by the throttle
valve actuator; the values supplied by the angle
sensors in the throttle valve control unit are
stored by the Engine Control Module (ECM).
If Engine Control Module (ECM) should de-
energize throttle valve actuator during driving
operation, this is expressed by an increased,
surging idle speed (RPM). The engine accepts
gas only after great delay. System in basic setting 60

Note:
The control module can abort adaptation for the
following reasons:

Throttle valve cannot be closed completely (e.g.
contamination).
Battery voltage is too low.
Throttle valve control module or wire connection
is faulty.
Engine is started during adaptation or
accelerator pedal is operated.
Tension of throttle valve housing (check
bolts).
After termination, tester displays "Function is
unknown or cannot be performed at the
moment". The next time the ignition is switched
on (several seconds), adaptation will be
automatically repeated.

- End basic adjustment of the engine by pressing
the key.

Angle sensor 1 for throttle drive (power
accelerator actuation) -G187- and angle sensor 1
for throttle drive (power accelerator actuation) -
G188- inform the Engine Control Module (ECM)
about the position of the throttle valve. Both
angle sensors are located in the throttle valve
control module.

Both the Throttle Position (TP) sensor -G79- and
the Sender -2- for accelerator pedal position -
G185- are located at the accelerator pedal and
communicate the driver's intentions to the ECM
completely independently of each other. Both
sensors are stored in one housing.
