4.3.4 Throttled body
Description
The injection control unit controls, depending on the signal from the accelerator pedal
potentiometer, the opening of the throttle by means of a direct-current motor integrated into
the throttled body.
The throttled body is secured to the inlet manifold and controls the amount of air sucked by the
engine.
Operation
The opening of the throttle takes place from 0° to 82°, thus including the idling speed control.
The throttled body is equipped with two integrated potentiometers, so that the injection control
unit knows when either of them is broken.
In the event that both potentiometers are broken, or if the power supply is missing, the control
unit will, depending on the accelerator pedal position, perform a recovery strategy, with
resulting degraded operation (which will be perceived by the driver), and disables EOBD
diagnosis.
The replacement of the throttled body or injection control unit or air intake manifold does not
ask for the execution of the self-learning procedure.
