Automotive example: Measuring on a throttle valve position stepper motor

October 23, 2014

A new lab scope measurement example about measuring a throttle valve position stepper motor is available. This measurement is performed using an automotive oscilloscope, measure leads and back probes.

Throttle valves are usually found in petrol engines but are also found in modern diesel engines. The throttle valve position motor in this measurement example, measured on a diesel engine, is a stepper motor type. The article explains how the throttle valve position stepper motor works and shows the results of voltage measurements performed on the stepper motor. A settings file with the measured data can be downloaded.
