Throttle Motor Sensor (not Tps) Error Code 46

Hey guys been having a bit of a headache with error codes 17 (ABS/TCS) and more recently error 46 Throttle motor sensor. The throttle motor sensor issue I feel was my own doing I had the bright idea of taking it off without thinking about leaving marks as to how it was sitting there.

I am using a multimeter to measure the sensor output which when tested I get 5.14v that drops steadily the further the sensor is turned. I am guessing that with this sensor the setting just needs to be below 4.8v (this is when the workshop manual states a CEL code will be thrown) for the initial setting kind of opposite to the TPS which needs to be set at 0.45v and jumps up to around 4.2v with throttle in.

Does anyone know specific volatges should aim for or is it not so important for this part?

Alrighty so my guess seemed to be right for the Throttle motor sensor need to make sure the signal from the sensor is below 4.8v for the adjustment on it. I set to 4.75v and it got rid of it not too sure if lower would be better but that's how it is.

Now I have a constant idle of 2000rpm that will be sorting out but all my error codes are gone.

      They need to get a grip. R32 GTRs got as low as AU$8-10K at one point here.

      Structured text and other high level PLC programing languages are not allowable in Functional Safety. They are very difficult to audit. My PLC stuff is almost exclusively oriented towards Burner Management Systems which are a particularly pernicious form of Safety Instrumented System, when implemented in an SPLC. Even the part of the code written to work in the non-safety logic part of the PLC, like with a Siemens S7-1500 series, still needs to be treated as if it was safety code, with access restrictions, code fingreprints and the like. And Allen Bradley can go EABODs. They ae full of shit. They have this whole lie going on where they say if you use a ControlLogix controller and its IO, and then just duplicate the IOs (ie, run in series or parallel depending on type, to try to make it "fail safe") and "use these programming styles and place these restrictions on what you do" that you can achieve SIL2. What a load of crap. They just get away with it because no-one in the US seems to understand the first thing about Functional Safety and carries on as if all they have to do is buy only SIL2 rated equipment and hey presto, it's a SIL2 system. Idiots. /rant

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      If you're really considering leaving it, a great question to ask is, is the magnet going to stick to the sump? The answer to the above is the same answer towards if I'd have any level of comfort leaving it... Personally, based on the cost of a motor if the magnet were to cause damage, I'd be fishing it out either way. Use the methods in here. It fit in through the plug hole, it'll come out.   PS, get a small actuatable claw for a bore scope. OR if you know a vet, they have really cool controllable scopes with hooks on the end. Supposedly they're like playing a video game. Ask if they can acquire you one of their scopes... Engine oil after all is just a different type of lube right? Will only make it easier on the next dog or cat...

      All other (Boolean) logic functions though, are just built on those blocks above. Which does give you a lot of functionality in logic. It is basing that on using thresholds with analogue signals like GTS alluded to.   Not having things like timers will make it less useful for some of the ramp up logic you'd want, and again, on Haltecs capacity specifically, I'm not across anymore what you can / can't do with different tables.   I'm assuming, with your logic you want to implement, not only do you want your timing safeties, you're wanting to be able to derive the duty cycle for your solenoid, to maintain I'm assuming 175PSi? Or are you using a standalone WMI controller to maintain the DC correct, and you just want the Haltech working out which fuelling maps you should be on?
