Gen 4 (58x) Electronic Throttle Body
These later electronic throttle body systems also incorporated three main components:
All of the above “hard” components, and the ECM calibration (program) must be mutually compatible.
Gen 4 throttle bodies may be loosely divided into two main categories - truck versions and car versions. These main categories may then be divided again into two subcategories - early versus late.
The Gen 4 truck throttle bodies used from 2007 to 2013 are outwardly similar. The early 2007 and 2008 variants had a “ridge” cast into the lower radius of the inlet side. The 2009 to 2013 variants featured a symmetrical inlet radius.
The Gen 4 car throttle bodies used from 2006 to 2008 featured a throttle blade that was a silver colour. The Gen 4 car throttle bodies used from 2009 to 2013 featured a throttle blade that was a gold colour.
There were many different accelerator pedals (APP) used with the above four throttle bodies - requiring specific ECM programming for proper throttle function.
These later electronic throttle body systems also incorporated three main components:
- an electronic throttle body
- Throttle Actuator Control (TAC) programming (now an internal portion of the ECM)
- an electronic accelerator pedal (APP)
