Diagnosis of the throttle valve's control unit: Notes

The purpose of the function is to control the throttle actuator and to diagnose faults in the control loop. The position of the throttle valve is determined by a digital controller which sends a pulse width modulated (PWM) signal, along with a flag that indicates the direction of rotation, to the throttle valve's power stage.
