Adjusting the position of the throttle valve sensor

NOTE: Before checking the position of the throttle valve sensor, you

have to adjust the idle speed correctly.

– Disengage the plug-and-socket connection of the throttle valve

sensor.

– Connect a multimeter (measuring range 

x 1k) to the 

blue (+) 

and

the

black (-)

cable of the throttle valve sensor and measure the

throttle valve resistance.

– Now, multiply this value by 0.15. This yields the adjustment value

for the throttle valve sensor.

EXAMPLE:

Throttle valve sensor resistance (bl/s) = 5 k

Throttle valve sensor resistance (ge/s) = 

5 k

x 0.15 = 750 

± 50 

– Connect the multimeter (measuring range 

Ω 

x100) to the 

yellow (+)

and the 

black (-)

cable of the throttle valve sensor and measure the

throttle valve sensor resistance with the throttle grip closed.

According to the above example, this value should be 750 

± 50 

.

– If the value measured does not correspond to the desired value,

loosen the 2 screws 

1

and turn the throttle valve sensor 

2

until the

instrument displays the desired value.

– Secure the throttle valve sensor in this position by fastening the

screws and check the value once more.

– Connect the throttle valve sensor to the wiring harness.
