...i did full delete with SFT stage 2 tune, straight pipe, etc.. been basically trouble free now at 170,000mi. until this service electronicthrottle control...
i get to checking intake, connections to turbo, to intercooler, to throttle valve. check harness under the dash, harness under the cab...
did you have a tune/delete?
did you have to get any additional tune once the butterfly valve was removed?
did you simply remove the 2 screws and the plate that were attached to the shaft?
Update. Back on the road! To no surprise the tone ring was the issue. Bought the replacement for $25 and had a shop do the work for a fair price. Onto tuning next! 😁
At my last count the Service ElectronicThrottle Control message was triggered by 88 engine control situations. I do not know the capabilities of your local tuner to catch each and everyone of these situations. But I will say you need to have a real time date scanner with DTC clear capabilities...
...stopped the engine, used AlfaOBD to clear codes, and took it for a spin. Engine light did not come on this time. The "Service ElectronicThrottle Control" message did not appear, and it's driving normally! Amazing. I don't think I can own this vehicle without AlfaOBD.
I also just received...
My dad has a 2016 ED and recently towed his 5th wheel trailer about 50 kms and the service electronicthrottle control came on and the truck went into limp mode, any ideas what could have caused this issue?
Ok so i drove my truck today to try and see what is going on! This message came up " service electronicthrottle ". The trk would hardly go once this message came up. Anyone ever had this problem and how was it resolved
You make my most analytical day seem simple. Keep it simple. Yep the Crank Position Sensor and Ring. One of the reflash recalls was to supplant the Crank Position Sensor as primary to the Camshaft Position Sensor, this was supposed to allow you to limp in when the Crank Tone Ring grenades (as...
...it I’ve been pleased with the vehicle. Recently I became a student and victim of the apparently common lightning bolt, “service electronicthrottle control”. I know there are many threads and videos about this, (I’ve sleeplessly searched, studied and noted all relative causes I’ve come across...
Dude, had the same thing, i had my own ext. warranty. They replaced the tone wheel on the crank since it still run the throttle control. Est bill 700.00 without warranty.
As I mentioned earlier, plethora of circumstances, Low Turbo Boost is one of the causes, Incorrect Mass Airflow Sensor reading, Incorrect Mass Atmospheric Pressure reading, VVTC loss of communications, Injector Flow Low/Higher than anticipated, all these plus many others can cause the dreaded...
Just another question....I'm seriously considering just deleting the electronicthrottle altogether and installing a Banks throttle delete plate/block and having SFT retune with the ElectronicThrottle turned off. Any thoughts if this would end the SETC message from ever popping up again?????
Just wondering why the SETC message would pop up on a Stage 2 tune with throttle delete. I thought deleting the stock electronicthrottle for the Banks throttle delete and having the tuner remove it from ECM would make it impossible for any DTC's regarding the ElectronicThrottle Control let...
Hi! Does anyone know if an individual can replace the ETC without having to go to a dealer? Also, where would be the best place to purchase one? Thank you
Hi folks,
2015 RAM Ecodiesel (100,000 miles/160,000 Kms)
I was carrying a 350 lb load over a long distance on very hilly terrain, hot day. Received an Electronic Sensor Throttle Control warning light (solid RED), power was reduced quite significantly. As this was a long trip I tried calling...
...today and they still don't know what to do about it since the recall is so new. My truck is already sitting because the "service electronicthrottle control" light came on and went into limp mode last Wed. I replaced the MAP sensor and cleaned the egr tube. Didn't fix it. So now the code is...
I was driving today on cruise control and got a CEL and a Service ElectronicThrottle Control message. Limped home and checked the codes and cleared them. Drove it for approximately 30 minutes with no issues. Not going to stray too far from home with it for now to see if it codes again. 52k...
