Introduction
The Model ETM30 Electronic Throttle Module is designed
to provide two modes of engine rpm control for trucks
that use Ford 6.0 and 7.3 litre turbo diesel engines.
Mode selection is via two inputs, and mode priority
interlocking is provided.

Standard Features
- Supports Ford 6.0 and 7.3 litre Power Stroke
diesel engines
- Two modes of operation
- Direct interface to engine controller
- Licensed Ford patented technology assures
compatibility and reliability
- Encapsulated electronics for maximum environmental
protection
- Reads sensor information directly from engine
controller
- Eliminates connections to sensors
- LED status indicators
Operation
When the vehicle is parked and Chassis Conditions
for Proper Operation are satisfied the engine
idle speed may be controlled by selection one
of the two available modes (Preset1 and Preset2).
The preset rpm modes may be adjusted by the user
via two calibration potentiometers on the top
of the ETM30 unit.
Chassis Conditions for Proper Operation
1. Parking brake is set.
2. For automatic transmission, gear shit lever
is in “PARK”.
3. For manual transmission foot is off clutch
pedal.
4. Foot is off service brake.
5. Foot is off accelerator pedal.
6. Vehicle is stationary.
7. Engine is started and idling.

Status Indicators
A five segment LED provides status and problem
detection information. Refer to the following
table for coding of these functions.

*note that “GEAR”
LED indicators are NOT VALID on units identified
as ETM30-C (Ford 6.0 litre engine applications)
Installation
The ETM30 is usually mounted inside toe cab under
the dashboard. A five ft. Cable is supplied that
connects to the Ford wiring harness’ four-pin
connector. The mode activation connections are
supplied by the user and are 0.25 inch Faston
terminals (see wiring diagram).
Set-up and Calibration
The only calibration required is to select each
of the two preset modes (RPM1 and RPM2) and adjust
the two respective potentiometers on the ETM30
to the desired rpm.

NOTE - This version of Model
ETM30 has been revised to operate on both 7.3
litre and 6.0 litre engines, and is identified
as “Revision C”. The ETM30 will operate
the same on both engine types EXCEPT that the
GEAR diagnostic LED on the 6.0 litre engine applications
should not be used as it will contain erroneous
indications. The revision code is in the product
name on the product box (e.g., ETM-30-C), and
preceding the LOT number printed on the side of
the ETM30 (e.g., ETM30C Lot: xxxxx).
