Why does throttle control go away on my Harley?
Guess what same problem. Runs fine then engine light comes on and throttle response is dangerous. I shut her down and wait and it goes away for awhile. It keeps rearing its ugly head. Also it disables the cruise control when it acts up.
How does cruise control work on a Harley Davidson touring?
One of the nice advantages of this system is electronic cruise control, but this design has its disadvantages, too, such as loose connections and broken sensors. The fly by wire equipped Touring’s use a twist grip sensor, electronic throttle control actuator (throttle body), and an engine computer to determine throttle input from the rider.
Where is the throttle actuiator on a Harley Davidson?
Also check the electronic throttle actuiator that slides into the handlebar and plugs in to the harness. These can fail but not very common. There’s also a green connector inside the fairing so you will need to remove outer fairing skin to find it and check for corrosion.
What are the voltages on a Harley Davidson throttle?
P2135 – The Throttle Control Actuator has two potentiometers (designated as TPS1 and TPS2) and a electric DC motor for controlling the actuation of the throttle. The two TPS sensors work opposite of each other; TPS1 voltage ranges from 0.0-5.0 Volts, while TPS2 voltage ranges from 5.0-0.0 volts.

What should the idle speed be if the throttle is turned off?
If the ignition is turned off with the throttle in a position other than 0 percent throttle, the system wants to use a higher rpm as the new idle speed the next time the engine is started. If you shut the bike off at 1,800 rpm, the next time you start the engine it will use approximately 1,400 as the new idle speed.
