• Ignition off
• Reinstall the components and connectors etc.
• Ignition on
• Read off the parameters.

  Check that the following basic conditions for adaptation of the throttle unit are met.

  1. Ignition on / engine off
  2. Battery voltage above 10 V
  3. Accelerator pedal (AP) unaffected
  4. The car must be stationary (no vehicle speed signal)
  5. Engine coolant temperature (ECT) between 5-100 °C
  6. Intake air temperature (IAT) above 5 °C.

  Remedy as necessary.

  Check that the adaptation is correctly run after the "Adaptation of the throttle unit running" parameter changes status from "YES" to "NO". When all basic conditions are met, the adaptation must be completed after approximately 40 seconds. When the adaptation is completed correctly, the following information will be displayed:

  • Adaptation of the throttle unit: OK
  • Adaptation of the throttle unit running: NO.
