What is the throttle matching channel number for Volkswagen?
2 Answers
Volkswagen throttle matching channel number is 060. Note: Throttle adjustment and matching are only applicable to Volkswagen vehicle series equipped with electronic throttle engine systems. The Santana GLi is not within the matching scope. Below is the relevant introduction: Basic setting content: When the ignition switch is turned on, the adaptive process between the throttle control unit and the engine control unit can be performed. Basic setting process: During the throttle basic setting, the throttle actuator moves from the maximum position to the minimum position in emergency operation. The engine control unit learns the stop position of the throttle control unit and the comparison curve between the throttle potentiometer and the throttle position sensor through adaptation.
The channel number for Volkswagen throttle adaptation is typically 060, which is the standard setup code in diagnostic equipment. It needs to be reset every time the battery is replaced or the throttle body is cleaned to prevent unstable idle or a surge in fuel consumption. When using professional tools, the steps are quite simple: plug into the OBD port, select the basic setting channel 060, and wait for the system to complete automatic calibration. Note that before adaptation, ensure the engine is off and the ignition switch is in position two; otherwise, data errors may occur. This applies to various Volkswagen models like the Golf or Passat, but older vehicles might have slightly different channel numbers. It's recommended to use reliable equipment like VCDS for the procedure. Having done this many times, proper adaptation really makes the car run smoother, so don’t overlook this detail during regular checks.
