Drive by Wire (DBW) allows a host of other features. You can access it from the DBW section of the Entity true, and follow this simple setup guide. OEM installations that use DBW with a our Plug-In solutions already have the majority of their settings pre-configured. Note that when using DBW you can omit the fitting of a PWM/Stepper based Idle Valve as the DBW system can also be set to manage idle control.
The process for configuring Drive-By-Wire is as follows:
- Install physical wiring as per the wiring guide for DBW here.
- Configure and calibrate the Pedal Position Sensors and Throttle Position Sensors
- Test the Throttle in Manual Mode.
- Calibrate the PID controller to give fast response with low overshoot.
- Start the engine in "Manual Percent" mode to find the idle values and configure the idle control.
