Diagram Ref No 8
Despite the Porsche parts-catalogue description “Throttle Control Element”, this component has no connection with the engine throttle body, accelerator pedal or engine air-intake system.
Its actual function is as an actuator for the pedestrian-protection bonnet system.
Installed as part of the front bonnet mechanism, the actuator is designed to deploy during a qualifying frontal pedestrian impact. When activated by the vehicle's pedestrian-protection control system, it rapidly raises the rear section of the bonnet.
This creates additional clearance between the bonnet panel and the harder engine components underneath, increasing the available deformation space and helping reduce the severity of injury to a pedestrian.
Because the unit contains a pyrotechnic activation mechanism, it is a safety-critical component and is intended for one-time deployment.
Once activated, or if diagnosed as faulty, the actuator must be replaced with the correct component and the pedestrian-protection system checked and reset according to Porsche workshop procedures.
What This Product Does:
The 971823823C actuator forms part of the Porsche Panamera's active bonnet pedestrian-protection system.
Its main functions are to:
- Act as a pyrotechnic bonnet-lifting actuator.
- Respond to a deployment command from the pedestrian-protection control system.
- Raise the rear section of the bonnet rapidly during a qualifying impact.
- Increase the clearance between the bonnet and rigid engine components.
- Create additional deformation space for pedestrian protection.
- Work with the vehicle's impact sensors and control electronics.
- Provide left- or right-side actuator functionality.
- Restore active bonnet operation after deployment or component failure.
Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:
Possible indications include:
- Pedestrian-protection warning displayed.
- Active bonnet warning message.
- Safety-system warning light.
- Diagnostic trouble code relating to bonnet actuator.
- Open-circuit fault.
- Resistance fault within the actuator circuit.
- Communication or deployment fault.
- Rear of the bonnet sitting raised after an impact.
- Bonnet alignment becoming incorrect following deployment.
- Actuator visibly deployed.
- Physical impact damage.
- Damaged actuator wiring.
- Damaged electrical connector.
Why Replacement Matters:
Replacing a deployed or faulty Throttle Control Element / Pedestrian Protection Actuator helps restore:
- Active bonnet functionality.
- Pedestrian-protection capability.
- Correct system monitoring.
- Proper bonnet safety operation.
- Correct electrical integrity.
- Factory safety-system specification.
This component exists specifically to support pedestrian protection during certain frontal impacts.
A known faulty or deployed actuator should therefore not simply be ignored.
