Error code 47 - Sub throttle...

[Marco]

I just did a error check on my car and it came up with error #47

 

Sub Throttle Position Sensor Signal: Open or short in sub-throttle position sensor circuit for 0.5 sec or more.

 

What does this mean? Is it a common problem, easy to solve?

:sos:

 

Thanks in advance

(I did a search but couldn't find anything about this...)

Not sure if this will help dude!

 

But when I was messing about on mine to fit a new FCD, I found the importer in his wisdom to attach/wire in a cheap one. That he had inadvertantly wired it into the Sub Throttle Position Sensor Signal which is number 63 on the ECU. The FCD should go into number 62, but be carefull because theres no wire in 61 (it's blank) so watch when you count the wires.

 

Try this Hope it helps

The Sub Throttle is the first butterfly in the intake path. It's used by the stock traction control and to reduce the throttle opening during gearchange on autos.

Do you still have it connected? - If not, that's why you're getting the error code.

Mothy: I don't have a FCD fitted, so that can't be it.

 

Matt: I have RLTC fitted, but it's not working properly (bad install?) and the standard TC kicks in! Maybe it's conflicting somewhere?

No, there's no common connection when installing them. Could be that the stock sensor is out of adjustment? Look on the throttle body, where the intercooler pipework meets the throttle body. You'll see a largish black lump on the right, (looking from the front), thats the sub-throttle motor. Opposite that is the sensor. Check the plugs are connected first, then check that the two screws on the sensor are tight.

I'll try that tomorrow Matt, thanks!
