Theory of Operation
The transmission throttle valve cable has been replace by the transmission throttle valve actuator (TTVA). The TTVA
consists of an electric DC motor, two potentiometers, and a gear drive system. The TTVA is mechanically connected
to the transmission throttle valve in the valve body by the “D” shaped opening in the bottom of the TTVA shaft.
The Transmission Throttle Valve Actuator (TTVA) does not require any mechanical adjustments. All changes in throt-
tle valve position are controlled by the Engine Control Module (ECM).
The TTVA does require an initialization period after the actuator has beenremoved or replaced. After the actuator
has been removed or replaced, move the ignition to the ON position for thirty (30) seconds. This will allow the ECM
sufficient time to perform the internal calibration procedures to learn the TTVA’s current “zero” position.
When Monitored:
Ignition on and with or without engine running with transmission in the park or neutral position. Note: Not mon-
itored when either the engine is cranking or while vehicle is moving.
Set Condition:
Each time the ignition is cycled to the on position, the ECM commands a TTVA internal calibration procedure
(autozero) to determine the zero position. If the TTVA does not reach a calibrated minimum position in a pre-
determined amount of time, the DTC will set.
