Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Throttle Unit Adaptation
If necessary the engine control module runs an adaptation of the throttle unit by guiding the throttle to the limit positions so that it " learns" the parameters of that actual throttle unit.
The status indicates if the adaptation has been run or not.
OK = Adaptation of the throttle unit has run.
NOT OK = Adaptation of the throttle unit has not run.
The basic conditions must be met before an adaptation of the throttle unit can be performed.
