General Description

The ETS(Electronic Throttle System) is the throttle body whose throttle angle is controlled by control module. It consists of ETS unit,ETS-motor, Accelerator Position Sensor(APS),Throttle Position Sensor(TPS) and Limp home valve. The PCM sends throttle valve target opening value to ETS unit after calculating from signals such as APS and other input values. The ETS unit controls ETS motor to meet PCM's throttle valve target opening value. ETS motor's rotor rotates 780� from the the closed throttle valve to the wide open throttle valve and ETS motor controls the opening angle of throttle valve with 26 patterns; motor's rotor rotates 30� per one pattern.
