THROTTLE CONTROLLERS
A throttle controller is an electronic device used in vehicles, particularly in cars with electronic throttle control (ETC) systems. Its main function is to modify the signal between the accelerator pedal and the throttle body. Here's how it typically works and what it does:
1. Signal Alteration: The throttle controller intercepts the signal from the accelerator pedal position sensor (APPS) before it reaches the Engine Control Unit (ECU). It modifies this signal to change how the throttle body responds to driver input.
2. Response Adjustment: By adjusting the signal, the throttle controller can alter the throttle response. This means it can make the vehicle more responsive or less responsive to the accelerator pedal input, depending on the settings chosen by the driver. We offer 9 different settings to choose from.
3. Driving Modes: Our Throttle Controller offers 2 different driving modes. A Sport mode and an Economy mode (where the throttle response is smoother to promote fuel efficiency), sport driving (where the throttle response is sharper for quicker acceleration).
4. Installation: Our Throttle Controller is very easy to install, plugging into the existing wiring harness without the need for cutting or splicing wires. It is mounted in the cabin where the driver can easily access and change the settings.
5. Benefits: Drivers often use throttle controllers to improve driving experience by enhancing throttle response according to their preferences. It can make acceleration feel more immediate and can be especially noticeable in vehicles with drive-by-wire throttle systems.
Overall, a throttle controller gives drivers more control over how their vehicle responds to throttle inputs, offering customization and potentially enhancing driving enjoyment or specific performance characteristics.
