ECU 003473.07 – Air Throttle Signal Fault. John Deere System Advisory.
ECU 003473.07 (ECU 3473.07)
Code: 003473.07
Shortcode: 3473.07
Description:
This error occurs when there is a discrepancy between the desired and actual positions of the air throttle actuator, indicating a potential issue with the actuator’s positioning system or feedback sensors.
Reaction:
The control system might attempt to recalibrate the actuator or limit engine functionality to prevent inefficient combustion or potential damage due to incorrect air intake.
Recommendations:
- Inspect Air Throttle Actuator and Sensors: Check the actuator for mechanical freedom of movement and inspect position sensors for accuracy and functionality.
- Calibrate or Reset Actuator: Perform a recalibration of the actuator or reset it to attempt to correct the positioning mismatch.
- Test System Operation: After recalibration, test the throttle system under various operating conditions to ensure it meets the control parameters set by the ECU.
- Replace Faulty Components if Necessary: If recalibration does not resolve the issue, replace faulty sensors or the actuator itself.
Note:
Ensuring the correct operation of the air throttle actuator is essential for maintaining optimal engine performance and emissions control.
