Throttle Angle (%)

The engine control module (ECM) calculates the value from the throttle position sensor. The value is calculated linearly from the throttle position sensor's output signal (0-5V) and indicates how much the throttle is open.

Approx. 6-14 % = idling (0% throttle angle, desired value).

Approx. 85-100 % = throttle fully open (100% throttle angle, desired value).



Measurement range 0 -100 %.

The engine control module (ECM) calculates the value from potentiometer 1 for the throttle position sensor. The value indicates the throttle opening. If a fault is detected in the throttle position sensor, potentiometer 1 by the engine control module (ECM), the value from the throttle position sensor, potentiometer 2 will be used to represent the throttle angle. This presumes that the function of throttle position sensor, potentiometer 2 is OK.

0 % = throttle shut.

100 % = throttle fully open. This corresponds to an opening angle of approximately 84 degrees.
