Frequency Throttle Circuit
SMALL | MEDIUM | LARGE

Circuit Description

This type of throttle interface is designed to accept a variable frequency signal as the throttle signal. An electronic component generates a square wave logic-level signal in which the frequency of the signal corresponds to a throttle command. The frequency values are established by the calibration in the ECM.

Component Location

Throttle location varies with each OEM. Refer to the OEM troubleshooting and repair manual.

Shop Talk

The frequency throttle can be used in conjunction with a voltage throttle or by itself.

Possible causes:

  • Malfunctioning OEM Frequency Throttle
  • Shorted signal wire to voltage source.

Refer to Troubleshooting Fault Code t05-148
