1999 AUDI A6 engine

24-155
Both the Throttle Position (TP) sensor -G79- and
the Sender -2- for accelerator pedal position -
G185- are located at the accelerator pedal and
communicate the driver's intentions to the ECM
completely independently of each other. Both
sensors are stored in one housing.

Note:
Engine Control Module (ECM) calculates the
voltage values of the angle sensors in percent
relative to 5 volts and displays these percentage
values. (5 volts supply voltage represents 100
%).

- Observe display field 3 and 4.

- Slowly depress accelerator pedal completely.
Percent indication in display field 3 must rise
uniformly. The tolerance range 12 to 97% is not
used completely during this.

Kick down function, adapting

If the sensor for accelerator pedal position or the
Engine Control Module (ECM) is replaced on a
vehicle with automatic/variable transmission, the
kick down function must be learned by the ECM.
