📋 Procedure

AJL
The idle stabilisation requires the engine control unit to know the stop positions of the throttle valve positioner (V60) and the potentiometer characteristics of the throttle valve positioner sensor (G88) and throttle valve potentiometer (G69).

The learning process (adaptation) is necessary if:

The throttle valve control unit was replaced.
The engine control unit was renewed.

The learning process (adaptation process) is performed:

Automatically if the ignition is switched on once for at least 6 seconds without actuating the starter or the accelerator pedal.
By initiating the basic setting (function 04) Display Group 98 with the engine stopped.

Connect fault reader V.A.G 1551 (V.A.G 1552) and select the engine electronics control unit with the "Address word" 01. The ignition must be switched on (Connecting fault reader and selecting engine electronics control unit => Page

Display readout:

When the Q key is pressed, the throttle valve actuator moves to min, max. and several intermediate positions. The control unit records the voltage reading for each position in its non-volatile memory. The throttle valve then remains in the start position for a brief period before closing.

Adjustment of the throttle valve control unit was carried out successfully.

Note:

If the adaptation is interrupted by the control unit, the reason could be one of the following:

The throttle valve cannot close completely (e.g. dirt).
Throttle cable incorrectly adjusted.
The battery voltage is too low.
Throttle valve control unit or wiring is defective.
Engine was started or accelerator was actuated during the adaptation process.

After an interruption, the fault "Basic setting not completed, fault in basic setting" is stored in the fault memory. The next time the ignition is switched on, the basic setting is automatically performed again.

End engine basic setting process by pressing the ⇒ key.
Press keys 0 and 6 for the function "End data transfer" and confirm entry with the Q key.

Who makes these pages, and how

TorqFix was built by a mechanic — after a 2,700 km drive with five roadside repairs that no diagnostic tool could explain.

The figures on this page come from manufacturer workshop documentation and are shown as they are. The page is assembled automatically from that data — it is not written by an AI. The AI works in the chat, where it answers for your specific car. It writes nothing here.

Variants of the same model differ. Cross-check torque against the factory manual for your engine before final tightening.
