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.

Notes:

The reason why the value indicated in display
field 1 climbs, while the value indicated in
display field 2 decreases, has to do with the fact
that the potentiometers (angle sensors) in the
throttle valve control unit run in opposite
directions.
This means that the voltage tap of angle sensor
1 runs from 0 to 5 volts. (The more the throttle
valve is opened, the larger the voltage; percent
indication climbs).
The voltage tap of angle sensor 2 runs from 5
to 0 volts. (The more the throttle valve is
opened, the lower the voltage; the percentage
decreases).
If indications do not resemble description:

- Check voltage supply and wire connections of
throttle valve control module Page 24
-152
.
Pay particular attention to harness connectors
that could be loose or corroded.

- Check accelerator pedal position sensor Page

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.
