Adjusting throttle reduction for articulated bus idling speed
for elgas generation 3
Background
The control unit for elgas must be correctly pro-
grammed in order to function as intended.
The unit has a basic configuration from the
sub-supplier. This must then be adapted to the
Scania vehicle. Most adaptations are the same,
irrespective of which Scania bus it is for.
However, some adaptations vary between bus
versions.
On articulated buses, throttle reduction for ar-
ticulation angle must also be adjusted individu-
ally on each bus.
In addition, the idling speed can be changed.
This can be set to either 520 or 550 rpm.
The idling speed is set to 520 rpm for diesel en-
gines and 550 rpm for gas engines ex-works.

Action
PC software is now available for adjusting
throttle reduction and changing the idling
speed. The software diskette and instructions
can be found in the PC folder in the Workshop
Manual.
If it is not possible to adjust throttle reduction as
above, it is not dangerous to use a spare part
control unit anyway.
This is because when the control unit is sup-
plied, reductions are set (within tolerance) to
provide large reduction. This means that when
reduction is active (e.g. when turning) engine
power may seem to be low. If this is the case,
adjustment must be made as described above in
order to regain the original engine power.
Spare part control units are ordered according
to a separate TI.
