CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN

These DTCs are detected when the ignition switch is ON or the engine is running.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note:
  • After replacing the ECM and/or throttle body with motor assembly, perform electronic throttle learning and idle learning.

  • If any DTCs related to the crankshaft position sensor sensor, throttle position sensor and accelerator pedal sensor assembly are output simultaneously, inspect the VC circuit of each component.

Tip:

Read freeze frame data using the GTS. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

PROCEDURE

  1. READ VALUE USING GTS (THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR)

    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

    3. Turn the GTS on.

    4. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / All Data / Throttle Position No.1 and Throttle Position No.2.

      Powertrain > Engine and ECT > Data List

      Tester Display

      Throttle Position No.1

      Throttle Position No.2

    5. Read the values displayed on the GTS.
