Signal shape and setpoint values
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2017 BMW X3, 2016 BMW X3, 2015 BMW X3, 2014 BMW X3, and 2013 BMW X3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The engine control unit receives a measured value between 0 and 5 volts from the hall effect sensor. With the aid of the taught-in bottom limit position and an encodable slope, the DME converts this voltage into the throttle valve opening angle. The diagnosis monitors the two signals for an upper and lower voltage limit.
