Perform a DME Throttle Adaptation Reset

1. Connect a diagnostic interface (INPA or ISTA+) to the vehicle's OBDII port.

2. Turn the ignition to the ON position (engine off) and ensure the battery voltage is maintained at 12.5V or higher.

3. Use the diagnostic software to clear all existing shadow codes and fault codes from the DME.

4. Select the 'Reset Adaptations' or 'Clear Learned Values' function specifically for the electronic throttle control system.

5. Once the reset is confirmed, press the accelerator pedal to the floor (WOT) four times consecutively to calibrate the pedal sensor range.

6. Turn the ignition OFF and wait at least 30 seconds for the DME to save the new parameters.

7. Start the engine and verify smooth throttle response during a test drive to confirm the limp mode is no longer triggered.
