Does anyone know if you can set throttle up with a multimeter?

How to Calibrate Throttle Position Sensor Using a Multimeter (Set TPS)

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks again D.Fylaktos I will try this tomorrow, very helpful.

D. Fylaktos if I use this method to set my throttle will that save me going to the man with the computer?

If you have a problem this will not make ''magic'' things, if you haven't then it's OK as a basic restart.

For example IF you have a faulty sensor even a million or restarts won't solve it, the VCDS will show to you the error code and you will find the cause of the problem.

If you don't have any issues then after few days of driving everything will be OK.

 

Tip: before the nick name put the symbol @ so the nickname will get ''highlighted'' and the user will get a notification, for example:

D. Fylaktos (i get no notification that you wrote something to me)

@D.FYLAKTOS (i will get a notification) 👍

@D.Fylaktos thanks I think I caused this problem by unplugging the connector on top of the throttle housing when car was running to see where the "Morse code" was coming from so perhaps it'll help. Thanks again for all your assistance.Eager.

This? You spary it with Contact Cleaner (No Oil) ?

@D.Fylaktos hi will get some contact cleaner thanks . It was this one .

If that connector was unplugged whilst the engine was running, won't the ECU have logged an error code? Which will need to be got rid of, before the throttle body can be reset / ECU learn new throttle position?

Haven't tried yet it will probably go to garage if it carries on.

There is no way to read that error, he hasn't got a VCDS or and OBD 11 tool.
