Electrically actuated throttle
valve (electronic accelerator)
With the Motronic ME 7.1, Audi is
using an electrically actuated
throttle valve for the first time.
There is no longer any need for a
mechanical accelerator cable
between the accelerator and
throttle valve. This has been
replaced by an electronic control
system (drive-by-wire).
The system comprises the following
components:
• Accelerator position sender
• Engine control unit
• throttle valve control part
Accelerator position sender
Safety module
Throttle valve control
part J338
The accelerator position sender records the
accelerator pedal angle and transfers it to the
engine control unit.
The engine control unit adjusts the throttle
valve by means of an electric motor. A
continuous stream of feedback signals on the
position of the throttle valve is sent to the
engine control unit.
Extensive security measures in hardware and
software format - such as twin senders, safety
module and self-monitoring computer
architecture - are integrated in the electronic
accelerator .
