sensor AUDI A4 2000 B5 / 1.G AEB Engine Throttle Valve Control Module And Checking

24-100

Function

Idle speed stabilization is integrated in the
throttle valve control module -J338-. In the
housing opposite the throttle valve are Throttle
Position (TP) sensor -G69-, Closed Throttle
Position (CTP) switch -F60-, throttle drive -G186-
and angle sensor -1- for throttle drive -G187-.

The housing should not be opened.
The individual components cannot be replaced or
mechanically adjusted. All adjustments are
accomplished by the VAG 1551 Scan Tool (ST)
using the "Basic Setting" function 04.
If the complete throttle valve control module is
without power (i.e. disconnected), the throttle
valve assumes a mechanical closed throttle
position that results in an increased idle speed of
1200-1300 RPM (with engine at operating
temperature).
If only the Throttle Position (TP) actuator -V60- is
without power, the throttle valve also assumes a
mechanical closed throttle position (limp-home
position), but because the signal from the CTP
switch -F60- can still be recognized, a nearly
"normal" idle speed of approx. 900 RPM is
maintained with a corresponding reduction of the
ignition timing advance.

- Press buttons -0- and -6- to select "End Output"
function 06, and press -Q- button to confirm
input.

- Switch ignition off.

Note:
The values displayed in display field 3 depend on
the calibration of the Throttle Position (TP)
sensor and do not correspond with the actual
throttle valve opening in degrees. The maximum
displayed value is 90.0 . If the throttle angle value does not increase
uniformly:

- Replace throttle valve control module -J338-.

- Carry out adaptation of throttle valve control
module to ECM Page 24

- Check readiness code Page 01

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) memory has
been erased, or ECM was disconnected,

Throttle valve control module,
adaptation to Engine Control Module
(ECM)

If the throttle valve control module -J338- is
removed and installed, or replaced, adaptation of
the throttle valve control module to the Motronic
ECM is required Page 24
-119
.
During "adaptation" with ignition switched on and
the engine not running, the Motronic ECM
"learns" the closed throttle position (CTP), wide
open throttle (WOT) and other positions of the
throttle valve control module, and a characteristic
curve of the relationship between Throttle
Position (TP) sensor -G69- and angle sensor for
throttle drive -G187-.

Required special tools and test equipment

VAG 1551 or VAG 1552 Scan Tool (ST) with
VAG 1551/3 adapter cable

Note:
After confirming input of display group 60, adaptation is started. The
Throttle Position (TP)sensor is positioned in the closed throttle, wide
open throttle and limp-home positions. Following this procedure, other
intermediate steps will create a characteristic curve of the relationship
between Throttle Position (TP) sensor -G69- and angle sensor for
throttle drive -G187-. The Motronic ECM stores these values in permanent memory.
Afterward, the throttle valve assumes the starting position.
