Electronic throttle

Motor on the H-bridge, two TPS, two pedals.

6 min readUpdated 2026-08

A drive-by-wire install is four analog sensors plus one motor. Race Core expects redundant TPS and redundant pedal. If a pair disagrees, the ECU must be configured to close the throttle — that is the whole safety case.

Motor

  • ETB 1+: B15. ETB 1−: B8. These are the H-bridge. There is no “which is positive” until you try it; if the blade drives the wrong way, swap the two motor wires or invert in software.
  • +12 V MR (B23) must be powered. No main-relay feed, no motor.

Sensors

SensorTypical pinSupply
TPS 1AV 2 (C24)5 V Sens 1
TPS 2AV 4 (C25)5 V Sens 2 (use the other 5 V rail)
Pedal 1AV 3 (C14)5 V Sens 1
Pedal 2AV 4 or a spare AV5 V Sens 2

A bipolar stepper idle valve can use ETB 2 (B22 / B21) if you are not running a second throttle. Unipolar (5-wire / 6-wire GM-style) steppers are not supported on the H-bridge.
