Tumble Generator Valve Sensor 1 and 2
The Tumble Generator Valve Sensors are used to determine whether the Tumble Generator Valves (or TGVs) are open or closed. TGVs are valves found in Subarus, located on the lower part of the intake manifold, that open (and remain open) when the engine is cold and the throttle has not yet been depressed.

Connections
Tumble Generator Valve 1/2 Input
Select an appropriate input to use for the TGV sensors. An AVI (Analogue Voltage Input) or an SPI (Synchronised Pulsed Input) should be used.
Connection Type
AVI
An AVI (Analogue Voltage Input) is suggested.
Pull up
Enables a 1k pull up resistor to 5V.
Typically the pull up should be enabled with any two-wire temperature sensor, and disabled for sensors with their own voltage supply. If the sensor is being shared with another ECU, such as with a piggyback installation with an OEM ECU, then the other ECU will generally include a necessary pull up and this setting should be set to Disabled.
SPI
An SPI (Synchronised Pulsed Input) can be used where there are no available AVIs.
Sensor Type
Set to Hall Effect for all analogue inputs
Pull up
Enables a weak 10k pull up resistor to 5V.
Typically the pull up should be enabled with any two-wire temperature sensor, and disabled for sensors with their own voltage supply. If the sensor is being shared with another ECU, such as with a piggyback installation with an OEM ECU, then the other ECU will generally include a necessary pull up and this setting should be set to Disabled.
Calibration Tab
This allows calibrations for TGV Sensors to be loaded or saved. A number of calibrations come pre-installed with the ESP Software package. If your sensor is not listed, a custom calibration can be created with the data provided by the sensor manufacturer.
From the image above:
1 – Selecting the yellow Open icon on the top left will allow the loading of a pre-configured calibration file.
2 – Selecting the blue Disk icon next to the open icon will allow the saving of your custom calibration file.
Display Tab
Warning Maximum
When the TGV sensor reads above this voltage, any TGV items on the ESP software will flash Red as a warning of high voltage.
Diagnostics Tab
The settings in this tab allow limits to be set for the detection of either fault conditions, or conditions that could be considered to cause engine damage related to the TGV sensors.
Raw Min
When enabled, this allows for the error code P1354 to be set when the voltage is below the set amount. This is used to detect a short or disconnection with the wiring. If the Engine Protection function is active a DTC Severity level can be selected for this condition if desired. (Default = Disabled)
Raw Max
When enabled, this allows for the error code P1355 to be set when the voltage is above the set amount. This is used to detect a short or disconnection with the wiring. If the Engine Protection function is active a DTC Severity level can be selected for this condition if desired. (Default = Disabled)
