OPERATION
  • Controls the current that is applied from the engine-A/T-ECU (terminals No. 133, No. 141) to the electronically controlled throttle valve (terminals No. 1, No. 2).
FUNCTION
  • Engine-A/T-ECU check whether the throttle valve control servo magneto failed.
TROUBLE JUDGMENT
Check Condition
  • Battery positive voltage is 8.3 V or higher.
Judgement Criteria
  • The coil temperature of the throttle actuator control motor is 180°C or higher for 0.8 second. <Vehicles for Hong kong>
  • Communication error or excessive heating is received in the intelligence power device for 0.8 second. <Vehicles except for Hong kong>
PROBABLE CAUSE
  • Failed throttle valve control servo.
  • Open/short circuit in throttle valve control servo circuit or lose connector contact.
  • Failed engine-A/T-ECU
   
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:  Go to Step 2 .
NO:  Repair.
   
  • Disconnect connector, and measure at electronically controlled throttle valve side.
  • Resistance between terminal No. 1 and No. 2.
OK: 0.3 - 80 kΩ (at 20 °C)
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:  Go to Step 3 .
NO:  Replace throttle body assembly.
   
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:  Go to Step 4 .
NO:  Repair.
       
  • Check output line for short circuit and damage.
