Throttle valve control module -J338-,
checking

The following components are located in the
housing for the throttle valve control module:

Throttle drive (power accelerator actuation) -
G186-. (This is an electric motor that is
activated by the ECM. This electric motor opens
the throttle valve against spring pressure.)
Angle sensor -1- for throttle drive (power
accelerator actuation) -G187-
Angle sensor -2- for throttle drive (power
accelerator actuation) -G188-

Notes:
The housing for the throttle valve control
module must not be opened.
The angle sensors are designed as
potentiometers (variable resistances). They
communicate the position of the throttle valve to
the Engine Control Module (ECM) fully
independent of each other.
The potentiometers cannot be mechanically

Throttle valve control module, adapting

The adaptation teaches the Engine Control
Module (ECM) various positions of the throttle
valve when the ignition is on and the engine is
stopped. These positions are stored in the
control module The return communication
regarding the position of the throttle valve occurs
via the two angle sensors for throttle drive.
An adaptation must always be performed when
the throttle valve control module -J338- or the
Engine Control Module (ECM) are removed and
installed (or replaced) or if voltage supply to the
Engine Control Module (ECM) is interrupted.
The learning process (adaptation) occurs:

automatically if the ignition is switched on for at
least 10 seconds without operating starter and
accelerator pedal and the Engine Control
Module (ECM) recognizes "adaptation
required". (There will be no notification of
whether adaptation was successful or not
however). Adaptation required is recognized if
stored voltage values from the angle sensors
do not match actual measured voltage values
within a certain tolerance range.

When indicated on display:
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.
