Code 10 (Control For Throttle Actuator)

CONTROL FOR THROTTLE ACTUATOR
Explanation
This defect code is stored when, despite an increase in power, the Electronic Throttle Control (EML) control unit cannot move the throttle actuator into the required position via the output stage for the throttle actuator. This defect code is also stored When the voltage supply drops to such an extent that the EML can no longer move the throttle valve in the required position.

Effect: When defect code Is set (EML warning lamp "ON"): Power reduction by limited EML Throttle Valve (DK) opening angle and reduced throttle (DK) opening speed.

Troubleshooting
- Check throttle (DK) switch and throttle (DK) potentiometer (status monitoring)
- Check EML voltage supply, battery charge (status monitoring) and note additional information relating to the defect code, i.e. detected at:.
- Check wires from the EML control unit to the throttle valve.
- Check throttle valve for stiff movement.
- Proceed with other displayed scan tool diagnostic instructions where applicable.
