The throttle position (TP) sensor signal must be adapted whenever a new control module is installed. Carry out the following:

Ignition on
Fully depress the accelerator pedal (AP) so that the kickdown switch (KD) is activated
Keep the accelerator pedal (AP) fully depressed for maximum 5 seconds
Release the accelerator pedal (AP)

The throttle position (TP) sensor signal is now adapted.
