Default EPC light is on..DTC 17579 says Throttle Actuator implausible...

Does it mean the throttle needs to be replaced as a whole?

Or could it be caused by a torn TBB or anything around throttle?

Default clear fault, go to basic setting, group 060(throttle adaptation)

if the fault returns, you've got a problem. Could mean throttle body or e-gas pedal. channel 62 will show throttle body angles and gas pedal angles(1 & 2 inverted, 3 & 4 parallel)

Default it's been a long time...and it kept coming back

i've done more than 20 Throttle body adaptation in the past 14 days....

service wouldn't fix it the first time because they could not reproduce the problem again after clearing the codes and resetting it...

but...guess they will have to...
just wondering if there's anything else that coudl fail other than Throttle actuator~
