There are several advantages of using a throttle controller.įirst is to take advantage of the “economy” mode to help save some fuel when driving. To get 100% throttle signal, TC provides a different signal to the ECU, making the throttle more responsive and less delays. This is where throttle controllers comes in. The more voltage (how hard pressed your foot on the pedal) is sent to the ECU, means more throttle input, thus increasing the RPM and your speed.īy quickly pushing the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor, the pedal transducer won’t send 100% throttle signal right away, but only after a few seconds to prevent any jerkiness when you accelerate. When you press on the accelerator pedal, a signal voltage is sent from the pedal box transducer to the ECU. You should first need to know how the ECU sees the signal input from the accelerator pedal before you’ll understand how a throttle controller actually works.įirst off, throttle controllers only works on modern engines with motorized throttle (not mechanical). Common settings include “economy” for efficient fuel consumption, “sport mode” for racing, “off road” for those who goes off road (for large SUVs), and some even have “student mode”, and an anti-theft feature, just like TopSpeed V2 brand. Most aftermarket throttle controllers feature different settings that helps accommodate your driving needs. Read here to learn more about ECU Remapping. Installing one doesn’t actually gives any mapping or tuning of the ECU, but just the speed and the amount of input that the ECU receives from the pedal throttle controller module. It basically alters the signal that is being sent to the ECU. It is a small and simple aftermarket module that plugs in between your accelerator pedal and the ECU line connector. Let me discussed to you what is a throttle controller, how it works, its advantages and disadvantages, and see if you really need this modification. If you are one of those people who are hesitant or have doubts on what throttle controllers can provide, then this article is for you.Īs you know, my car does have one installed so I will try not to be overly biased here (lol).
Throttle controllers are one of the most debated modifications in the automotive industry due to contradicting opinions if they are truly beneficial or not.
