Signal shape and setpoint values

The engine control unit receives a measured value between 0 and 5 volts from the hall effect sensor. With the aid of the taught-in bottom limit position and an encodable slope, the DME converts this voltage into the throttle valve opening angle. The diagnosis monitors the two signals for an upper and lower voltage limit.
