Engine Throttle Control

Throttle Control System

E
Throttle control is achieved by an electro-hydraulic
proportional solenoid. The ECU supplies a modulated
output (which is determined by the working mode selected
A
and throttle dial position) the throttle control valve works as
a pressure reducing valve and supplies hydraulic pressure
to the throttle actuator which in turn moves the throttle
cable to increase/decrease engine speed. A sensor on the
throttle lever gives feedback to the ECU on the throttle
lever position. B
Throttle Control Circuit C
Further developments to improve the operation of the
throttle and also to protect the engine against poor F
operator driving procedures have been made.
D
If the engine is started with the throttle dial above the ¼ full
speed position, the engine will start at idle. No engine Fig 20.
speed control will then be possible until the operator turns
the throttle dial to a position which is lower than the ¼ full Note: Throttle position sensor (behind the throttle lever).
speed position. The throttle control will then function as
normal. – Throttle control valve A
– Throttle linkage B
If the operator stops the engine from full speed then the – Throttle actuator C
throttle actuator will ramp down over a two second time
period, reducing the engine rpm before stopping. – Stop solenoid D
– Throttle cable E
If the operator has selected the one touch idle function – Stop cable F
before stopping the engine, then when the engine is
restarted the throttle control will still be in one touch idle
function (i.e. the ECU remembers that one touch idle was
selected).
