ACTUATOR-THROTTLE VALVE
DESCRIPTION
On vehicles equipped with a Cummins diesel engine,
the transmission throttle valve cable has been replace
by the transmission throttle valve actuator (TTVA). The
TTVA consists of an electric DC motor, two potentiom-
eters, and a gear drive system. The TTVA is mechan-
ically connected to the transmission throttle valve in
the valve body by the “D” shaped opening in the bot-
tom of the TTVA shaft. Changes in the TTVA position
are therefore transferred to the throttle valve and
cause changes in the transmission throttle pressure.
REMOVAL
1. Remove the bolts (2) holding the transmission
throttle valve actuator (TTVA) (1) to the transmis-
sion case.
2. Allow the TTVA (1) to rotate clockwise away from
the transmission.
