Throttle valve control module,
adaptation to Engine Control Module
(ECM)

If the throttle valve control module -J338- is
removed and installed, or replaced, adaptation of
the throttle valve control module to the Motronic
ECM is required Page 24
-119
.
During "adaptation" with ignition switched on and
the engine not running, the Motronic ECM
"learns" the closed throttle position (CTP), wide
open throttle (WOT) and other positions of the
throttle valve control module, and a characteristic
curve of the relationship between Throttle
Position (TP) sensor -G69- and angle sensor for
throttle drive -G187-.

Required special tools and test equipment

VAG 1551 or VAG 1552 Scan Tool (ST) with
VAG 1551/3 adapter cable

Test conditions
No malfunctions stored in DTC memory

Note:
After confirming input of display group 60, adaptation is started. The
Throttle Position (TP)sensor is positioned in the closed throttle, wide
open throttle and limp-home positions. Following this procedure, other
intermediate steps will create a characteristic curve of the relationship
between Throttle Position (TP) sensor -G69- and angle sensor for
throttle drive -G187-. The Motronic ECM stores these values in permanent memory.
Afterward, the throttle valve assumes the starting position.
