OPERATION
  • Battery voltage is applied to the Throttle valve control servo relay terminal (terminal No. 4).
  • Battery voltage is applied to the Throttle valve control servo relay terminal (terminal No. 3) from the engine control relay (terminal No. 1).
  • Engine-A/T-ECU (terminal No. 15) applies current to the throttle valve control servo relay coil by turning ON the power transistor in the unit in order to turn the relay ON.
  • When the throttle valve control servo relay turns ON, battery voltage is supplied by the throttle valve control servo relay (terminal No. 1) to the engine-A/T-ECU (terminal No. 132).
FUNCTION
  • When the ignition switch ON signal is input into the engine-A/T-ECU, the engine-A/T-ECU turns ON the Throttle valve control servo.
TROUBLE JUDGMENT
Check Condition
  • Ignition switch is in "ON" position.
Judgement Criterion
  • The power line voltage of the electronic controlled throttle system is 4.0 V or less for 1 second.
PROBALE CAUSE
  • Failed throttle valve return spring
  • Open/short circuit in throttle valve control servo circuit or loose connector contact.
  • Failed engine-A/T-ECU
   
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:  Go to Step 2 .
NO:  Repair.
   
  • Remove relay, and measure at relay box side.
  • Voltage between terminal No. 4 and earth.
OK: System voltage
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:  Go to Step 4 .
NO: 
  • Check intermediate connector A-14, and repair if necessary. If intermediate connector is normal, check and repair harness between B-14X (terminal No. 4) throttle valve control servo relay connector and battery.
    • Check power supply line for open/short circuit.
   
  • Remove relay, and measure at relay box side.
  • Ignition switch: ON
  • Voltage between terminal No. 3 and earth.
OK: System voltage
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:  Go to Step 5 .
NO:  Go to Step 6 .
       
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES: 
  • Check intermediate connector C-17, and repair if necessary. If intermediate connector is normal, check and repair harness between B-17X (terminal No. 1) engine control relay connector and B-14X (terminal No. 3) throttle valve control servo relay connector.
    • Check power supply line for open/short circuit.
NO:  Repair.
       
  • Disconnect connector, and measure at harness side.
  • Ignition switch: ON
  • Voltage between terminal No. 15 and earth.
OK: System voltage
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES: 
  • Check and repair harness between B-14X (terminal No. 2) throttle valve control servo relay connector and C-134 (terminal No. 15) engine-A/T-ECU connector.
    • Check earthing line for open/short circuit.
NO:  Go to Step 7 .
   
  • Disconnect connector, and measure at harness side.
  • Ignition switch: ON
  • Voltage between terminal No. 132 and earth.
OK: System voltage
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:  Go to Step 10 .
NO:  Go to Step 8 .
       
  • Check output line for open/short circuit.
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:  Go to Step 9 .
NO:  Repair.
           
NOTE: Before checking harness, check intermediate connector C-17, and repair if necessary.
  • Check output line for damage.
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES: 
  • Check and repair harness between B-14X (terminal No. 2) throttle valve control servo relay connector and C-134 (terminal No. 15) engine-A/T-ECU connector.
    • Check earthing line for open/short circuit.
NO:  Repair.
   
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:  Go to Step 11 .
NO:  Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points ).
   
  • Check power supply line for damage.
Q:  Is the harness connector in good condition?
YES:  Go to Step 12 .
NO:  Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points ).
       
  • Check power supply line for damage.
Q:  Is the harness connector in good condition?
YES:  Go to Step 13 .
NO:  Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points ).
