Default Vitesse Throttle Control, Odd Behavior!

I recently purchased a Vitesse Throttle Controller, it is installed and working fine. But, I just returned from a 1,300 mile drive with the controller set at SP5 the entire time. Once during the trip I noticed that the control panel was showing A15, then A20, A25 . . . A40, etc. I pressed the "B" button 10 times to cycle through all the SP settings and the A## settings went away, although they may have come up again as I wasn't able to observe the settings at all times due to the brightness of the day.

While the controller was cycling through the A## settings, I did not notice any changes in the car's throttling. When stopping and starting off again, the SP5 setting seemed to work as it should. So my question is: what is the significance of all the A## displays?

TIA, MrBill

It displays the throttle position as you drive. When you take your foot off the pedal it displays the setting you chose.

Yes to the post above. Sounds like normal operation to me. That's what mine does.

That's odd, I recall a few times while the throttle was down that the display was showing SP5. Anyway, at least I know the A## is not a problem. Thanks!

I just got this from Ahmed at Vitesse:

The A and the number next to it are simply showing you the Acceleration percentage: A15 ( 15% ) , A50 ( 50% ) and so on. If you don't press the gas pedal, it will show you what mode you're on: SP3 or 5...
