E-Throttle/E-Pedal removal

In some cases, you want to remove the E-Throttle and E-pedal, and use a regular wire to control the throttle body.

Our solution only supports the E-Throttle, but in the above case, you need to do some wiring changes in our terminated harness.

 

clip1461

1. Disable the AIN on TPS input, set to not used.

 

clip1462

2. Set TPS sensor used to use input as TPS SENSOR FOR MECHANICAL THROTTLE.

 

clip1463

3. Disable everything that has to do with E-Throttle on the analog input channels.

 

clip1464

4. Make sure all E-Throttle control is disabled.

 

clip1465

5. Finally, set all motor outputs to disabled.
