How to adapt the throttle valve in a car. Here are some important adaptation steps


Sometimes the engine malfunctions and its speed is out of the specified values. As a result, the idle speed becomes unstable and loss of power occurs.

It seems that the engine will stall any minute. This is explained by wear of the part, and as a result, an increase in the gap between the throttle body and the valve. The broken gap allows more air to pass through than normal, and this causes a change in the composition of the fuel mixture.

The result is engine failure. When the valve (penny) wears out, it becomes necessary to replace it. Due to the simplicity of the design, it will not be difficult to order it from a familiar turner or find it on the Internet from some “Kulibin”. The price of the purchased part will be much higher.

Since new car models already come with electronic regulation throttle valve(electronic pedal), then malfunctions in the electrical equipment of the car can also lead to an operating error.

A sharp surge in voltage in the car network, removal/replacement of the electronic control unit, accelerator pedal - all this can cause a malfunction of this part of your car. Then it becomes necessary to return all parameters to normal.

Examples of throttle valve adaptation on VAG and Lancer IX vehicles

In this video, they will tell you and show you how to adapt the damper for a VAG car.

Adaptation of remote sensing for Volkswagen Golf 4:

  • We warm up the engine to t=80 0 C and turn off the car. Then we connect the USB-KKL cable to the diagnostic connector and, after turning on the ignition, launch the diagnostic program (VAG-COM 3.11).
  • We enter section 01-engine.
  • We poll the fault memory (02).
  • We erase detected faults (05).
  • After returning to the previous menu, enter the “adaptation-10” section.
  • If the group value is 001, press “start”.
  • We wait 2-3 minutes, then close the program and disconnect the cable. Adaptation is complete.

Adaptation of remote sensing of Nissan cars with an electronic gas pedal:

  • Turn on the ignition for at least 2 seconds.
  • Turn off the ignition. The accelerator pedal adaptation procedure is completed.
  • We are adapting the throttle valve. The accelerator pedal is released.
  • Turn on the ignition and turn it off immediately. We wait at least 10 seconds. During this period of time, the damper moves.
  • We teach air supply at idle speed (XX).
  • Warm up the engine and gearbox until operating temperature.
  • We turn off all electrical equipment of the car.
  • We start the engine and bring it to operating temperature.
  • Turn off the ignition and wait at least 10 seconds.
  • Fully release the accelerator pedal.
  • Turn on the ignition and wait at least 3 seconds.
  • Within 5 seconds, press the accelerator pedal five times, then wait 7 seconds.
  • Pressing the accelerator pedal, hold it until the CHECK stops flashing and lights up constantly (about 20 seconds are required).
  • After the CHECK light comes on continuously, you must release the pedal within 3 seconds.
  • We start the engine to run at XX.
  • Press the pedal several times to check the stability of the XX.

Adaptation of remote sensing on VW Passat B5:

  • Warm up the engine to operating temperature and turn off the car.
  • We turn on the ignition, but do not start the engine.
  • We connect the cable to the diagnostic connector and launch the program.
  • We enter section 01-engine.
  • We enter basic settings (04).
  • We select the damper adaptation - 060 for cars with electronically controlled damper, and value 098 for vehicles with cable-controlled damper.
  • Let's start the adaptation.
  • We are waiting for the “ADP RUN” entry to appear on the screen and the subsequent “ADP OK” entry.
  • We return to the basic settings.
  • Turn off the ignition. Adaptation is complete.

Mitsubishi Lancer IX throttle adaptation:

  • Warm up the car engine.
  • We connect the ScanDoc scanner to the diagnostic connector. IAC values ​​= 0.
  • We artificially restore the thermal gap in the damper (for example, we use a mixture of grease and waste oil).
  • We start the engine and wait for the steady idling speed to be established.
  • In the scanner, we launch the “Sas mode” mode and adjust the position of the IAC during adaptation.
  • If the engine stalls when turning on the “Sas mode” mode, then unscrew the IAC screw to increase the engine speed to XX;
  • We set the speed within 750-800 rpm.
  • During adaptation, the IAC steps are set to 4-7;
  • We forcibly complete the adaptation process and turn off the engine.
  • We start the engine and check the IAC. If the adaptation was successful, then the IAC steps will be 27-28.

Adaptation of remote sensing on Audi A4:

  • We warm up the engine to t=80 0 C and turn off the car. Then we connect the cable to the diagnostic connector and after turning on the ignition, launch the diagnostic program (VAG-COM).
  • We enter section 01-engine.
  • We enter the “Adaptation-10” section.
  • On channel 00, press the “read” button.
  • Save the result and return to factory settings.
  • Enter the basic settings (04) and go to the measurement mode.
  • Enter channel value 098, start adaptation.
  • We are waiting for a message about the completion of the adaptation process.
  • We return to the original section. Close the program and disconnect the cable.

When should you not perform remote sensing adaptation?

It is worth noting that it is appropriate to carry out the above procedures using software and special diagnostic equipment in the event of a failure of the damper settings. It does not matter whether the electronic parameters are broken or the mechanical settings of the equipment are lost.

If the operation of the throttle is impaired due to wear, then it is more advisable to think about repairing or replacing the part. If suddenly, after the steps described above, adaptation does not occur, it is worth checking the motor responsible for opening/closing the damper. There may not be enough power for proper operation node.

Using the example of adapting the throttle valve of the above-mentioned cars, we can conclude that absolutely all cars are characterized by some common processes.

For example, cleaning the damper body inside and outside before starting adaptation is necessary for any make of car.

The only difference is that in some cars the damper is adjusted using a cable, and in others using electronics. This difference will manifest itself in the choice of adaptation parameters.

Easytronic MTA (Manual Transmission Automatic) is a trademark of Opel denoting a series of manual transmissions with automatic robotic control. Developed by LUK and first used on the Opel Corsa-C.

The following vehicles were equipped with the following transmissions:
Corsa-C, Corsa-D, Vectra-C, Astra-H, Meriva-A, Zafira-B
MTA Easytronic allows manual (manual mode) or automatic (automatic mode) gear shifting, both of which provide automatic control clutch.
Easytronic combines the convenience of an automatic transmission with the efficiency and best properties of manual transmissions. But this is all provided that Easytronic is configured and works flawlessly. But if drive and clutch maintenance is neglected, MTA resuscitation can become extremely costly.
The control knob has the following positions:
N = Neutral.
A = Switch between automatic and manual modes. The gearbox display shows A or M.
R = Reverse. Install only on a stationary vehicle.
+ = upshift.
- = downshift.
The operation of the automatic clutch imitates the driver's actions with the clutch pedal and provides three modes of clutch operation. The two main modes are clutch on (closed) and clutch off (open). The third mode is a mode with a partially closed clutch (slipping) or it is also called Crawl mode. This mode allows you to move away smoothly or maneuver when parking. The partial slip mode is controlled by the ECU using the calculated parameter “clutch temperature”, which is calculated from the difference in the speed of rotation of the flywheel and the transmission input shaft and other parameters. The partial slip mode is activated when the brake pedal is released and the engine speed is close to idle. This mode requires precise adjustment of the touch point and the durability of the entire MTA control mechanism greatly depends on the accuracy of its operation.

For normal adjustments, we especially emphasize that during operation it is necessary to tighten the hand brake and hold the foot brake. If these conditions are not met, the adjustment process stops. We connect to the diagnostic connector and connect to the transmission control unit.
Diagnostics > Astra-H > Transmission > MTA Easytronic
Next, select Programming and get to the menu for managing programming modes.

  • Touch Point Adaptation
1. With the engine running. The box is in neutral position. Select an item Touch Point Adaptation

2. Follow the instructions that appear on the screen and observe the adaptation process.



3. During the learning process, the values ​​will synchronously change from higher to lower and vice versa
After the procedure is completed, the message appears Settings stored. Programming done! (Settings saved, programming completed!)



At the beginning of the process, the following message may appear: Conditions not correct!
Apparently you will have to exit the program, turn off the car, enter to clear MTA errors, and repeat the training procedure.

  • Training of gearbox switching parameters. (Learn Gearbox Parameters)



1. To carry out the procedure, it is recommended to hang the front wheels of the car so that they can rotate freely.
2. Turn on the ignition without starting the engine. Neutral position (car on handbrake)
Confirm the selection by pressing the OK button.

3. Stage 1 begins
Let's see how 1st-5th reverse gears are configured.



4. The first part is completed. Press the brake pedal and start the engine, then press OK
The 2nd begins: learning gear synchronization. IN automatic mode Operations with all transmissions are performed one by one, and we simply observe this.




The procedure is completed.

Adaptive learning Transmission Shift Parameters is a procedure designed for 6-speed automatic transmissions that performs a series of tests to allow the automatic transmission module (TCM) to obtain individual clutch characteristics. Once the clutch characteristics are determined, the adaptive learning procedure transfers them to adaptation data cells, which the TCM uses to control the clutches during gear shifts. The diagnostic tool is used to initiate the adaptive learning procedure. This procedure should be performed after repairing the transmission.

Adaptive learning of transmission shift parameters must be carried out after performing one of the following repair operations. Failure to follow this procedure after one of the following repairs may result in deterioration technical characteristics transmission, as well as to the recording of DTCs.

Internal structural maintenance/gearbox overhaul
Valve block repair or replacement
Replacing the control solenoid valve
Update/Calibration software TCM module
Any kind Maintenance, associated with any problems with the quality of gear shifting, change the gearbox oil.

What happens in practice?
Adaptation is needed if you feel that the gearbox has begun to behave inappropriately (delay in gear shifting, shocks during shifting, etc.) Often when changing drivers, if the driving style is very different, from careful to very aggressive! If you frequently drive in traffic jams, adaptation is needed every 30 thousand.
And remember your gearboxes are very susceptible to overheating, monitor the oil temperature and quality, partial replacement every 30 thousand + adaptations will extend the life of your automatic transmission.

Automatic transmission adaptation reset

The most common way to reset automatic transmission adaptation is to next steps:

1. You need to start by warming up the engine to a “working” state. There is no need to take any action yet;

2. Then you need to turn off the engine for 5 seconds and start it again;

3. Wait until the engine speed reaches 2.5 thousand - 3 thousand. in a minute;

4. Turn off the engine again for 5 seconds and start the engine again;

5. While holding the brake, turn on each speed in turn;

6. Connect the dealer tester and do a reset;

7. Start a smooth movement;

8. Carefully, smoothly pick up speed to 40 km/h, after 1 minute slowly stop the car;

9. Turn off the engine, then start it;

10. Carefully, smoothly pick up speed to 80 km/h, after 1 minute slowly stop the car;

11. Turn off the engine, then start it;

12. Move with at different speeds 20 minutes (40 km/h, 80 km/h, driving on a straight road at the same speed)

13. Wipe (wash) any oil that has come out at the bottom of the gearbox;

14. Ride from 5 to 20 kilometers without particularly loading the engine;

15. See if oil is leaking from the gearbox seals and other places;

16. If necessary, raise the oil level to the lower hot level;

If you notice subtle twitching when you change (or turn on) the speed during the adaptation process, do not be alarmed, this is completely normal. Over time, the twitching should go away on its own. If this does not happen, then you should adapt the system using a computer (use a dealer scanner).

In this regard, it is worth remembering that:

1. After the reset procedure, the automatic transmission operates almost in “sports mode”, so at first you should be extra vigilant;

2. If you bought a car that has already been in use, be sure to reset it so that the automatic transmission adapts to your driving style;

3. This reset on the vast majority of machines it is possible to produce at least every day.

You can perform the above steps yourself, but if you doubt that you will reset the automatic transmission correctly, then contact specialists who, using professional equipment, will carry out this procedure efficiently and quickly.

The cost of adaptation, in our service station, automatic transmission, ROBOT will be from 900 to 1500 rubles
