How does the throttle work on a Harley Davidson touring?

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. The connections between these components must be good for normal engine operation.

Is there a problem with the throttle by wire system?

A frequently occurring problem was found with early throttle by wire system and a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) was released. This bulletin guides you through the diagnostic steps to determine what connection or component is creating your throttle problem. A diagnostic trouble code will help pinpoint the problem area.

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’s the throttle response on a 2009 Harley?

2009 Harley Ultra Classic w/25K no past problems in the past, but on 07-12-14. I had a problem with what I found out and is called “Limp Mode”! no throttle response at all other than running at idle.

When did Harley Davidson eliminate the throttle cable?

In 2008, Harley Davidson implemented a throttle by wire design, eliminating the throttle cable. 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. By Weston Chadwick – March 16, 2016

What should I do if my throttle position sensor fails?

This is intended to at least allow a driver to get off a busy highway in a safer manner. Once the TPS begins to fail, even partially, you’ll need to replace it right away. Replacing the TPS will include clearing relevant fault codes, and may require software reprogramming of the new TPS module to match other engine management software.

When did electronic throttle control come out for Harley Davidson?

Harley-Davidson Electronic Throttle Control. In 2008 Harley-Davidson introduced a new throttle system called Electronic Throttle Control (ETC), which eliminates the throttle cables connecting the throttle and the throttle body and replaces them with an electronic connection.

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.

Where is the throttle grip sensor on a Harley Davidson?

The throttle-grip sensor is keyed to the handlebar with a series of notches cut into the bar that mate with bosses on the throttle-grip sensor. The throttle-control actuator includes a geared, permanent-magnet DC motor, and two sealed automotive-style throttle-position sensors mounted to the side of the throttle body.

What is the Hall effect on a Harley Davidson?

This is known as the Hall effect—there are no contacts, brushes, or wipers to malfunction. At the throttle body, two separate throttle-position sensors compare the position of the throttle plate and verify that it is in the position called for by the magnetic sensors in the throttle-grip sensor.
