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 VAG1551 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.
