Programming and Relearning



Required special tools and test equipment
- VAG 1551 or VAG 1552 Scan Tool (ST) with VAG 1551/3 adapter cable

If the throttle valve control module -J338- is removed and installed, or replaced, adaptation of the throttle valve control module to the Motronic ECM is required.

During "adaptation" with ignition switched on and the engine not running, the Motronic ECM "learns" the closed throttle position (CTP), wide open throttle (WOT) and other positions of the throttle valve control module, and a characteristic curve of the relationship between Throttle Position (TP) sensor -G69- and angle sensor for throttle drive -G187-.

VAG 1551 or VAG 1552 Scan Tool (ST) with VAG 1551/3 adapter cable

Test conditions
- No malfunctions stored in DTC memory.
- Throttle valve in closed throttle position; if necessary adjust accelerator pedal cable.

NOTES:
- After confirming input of display group 60, adaptation is started. The Throttle Position (TP) sensor is positioned in the closed throttle, wide open throttle and limp-home positions. Following this procedure, other intermediate steps will create a characteristic curve of the relationship between Throttle Position (TP) sensor -G69- and angle sensor for throttle drive -G187-.
- The Motronic ECM stores these values in permanent memory Afterward, the throttle valve assumes the starting position.

- Compare display with specified values (display fields 1-4):





- End adaptation as soon as possible after 30 seconds by pressing -> button.

If displayed values are OK:
- Press buttons -0- and -6- to "select End Output" function 06, and press -Q- button to confirm input.
