1) A figure "1" in this position means it will not be possible to perform an adaptation of the throttle valve control part.
2) A figure "1" in this position means that the self-diagnosis has identified a fault which may not yet have been recorded in the fault memory. If the self-diagnosis has identified a fault relating to the throttle valve control part it will not be possible to perform an adaption of the throttle valve control part using the "Basic setting" function.
