DBW reading - gold vs silver throttle body I'm using a silver throttle body (LS2) but my ECU (E67) is apparently setup to use a later-model gold throttle body.
On my benchtests the throttle appears fully closed when I'm off the gas, gradually opens as I push on the gas pedal, and stops moving (what I'm assuming is fully open) when I've depressed the gas pedal ~95% of the way down (i.e., there's just a smidge of play at the bottom).
From what i've read, if you try to use a gold throttle body on a car with an ecu setup for the silver, you'll throw REP errors because the pedal will keep ordering the throttle body to open well past 100%.
I'm having trouble finding information on the reverse (using silver in a gold-tuned ecu). My throttle body appears fully open and throws no errors ever. Does anybody know what voltage readings I should be seeing (in hptuners) so I can confirm everything is working fine?
