DTC No. Detection Item DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area MIL Memory Note
P022011 Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch "B" Circuit Short to Ground The output voltage of VTA2 is less than 2.05 V for 2 seconds or more (1 trip detection logic).

  • Throttle position sensor (throttle body with motor assembly)

  • Short in VTA2 circuit

  • Open in VCTA circuit

  • ECM

 Comes on DTC stored SAE Code: P0222

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The ECM uses the throttle position sensor to monitor the throttle valve opening angle. If the VTA2 terminal voltage is less than the threshold, the ECM will illuminate the MIL and store this DTC.

Frequency of Operation Continuous

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN

B00888XE16

  1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

  2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

  3. Turn the GTS on.

  4. Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).

  5. Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.

  6. Turn the ignition switch to ON [A].

  7. Turn the GTS on.

  8. Start the engine.

  9. With the vehicle stationary, fully depress and release the accelerator pedal [B].

  10. Idle the engine for 2 seconds or more [C].

  11. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes [D].

  12. Read the pending DTCs.

    Tech Tips


    • If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.

    • If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.

  13. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness.

  14. Input the DTC: P022011.

  15. Check the DTC judgment result.

    GTS Display Description
    NORMAL

    • DTC judgment completed

    • System normal
    ABNORMAL

    • DTC judgment completed

    • System abnormal
    INCOMPLETE

    • DTC judgment not completed

    • Perform driving pattern after confirming DTC enabling conditions

    Tech Tips


    • If the judgment result is NORMAL, the system is normal.

    • If the judgment result is ABNORMAL, the system is malfunctioning.

    • If the judgment result is INCOMPLETE, perform steps [B] through [D] again.

FAIL-SAFE

When this DTC is stored, the ECM enters fail-safe mode. During fail-safe mode, the ECM cuts the current to the throttle actuator, and the throttle valve is returned to a 7.5° throttle valve opening angle by the return spring. The ECM then adjusts the engine output by controlling the fuel injection (intermittent fuel-cut) and ignition timing, in accordance with the accelerator pedal angle, to allow the vehicle to continue running at a minimal speed. If the accelerator pedal is depressed firmly and gently, the vehicle can be driven slowly.

Fail-safe mode continues until a pass condition is detected, and the ignition switch is turned off.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Tech Tips

Read Freeze Frame Data using the GTS. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as Freeze Frame Data the moment a DTC is stored. 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 NO.2 VOLTAGE)


    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 / Data List / Throttle Position Sensor No.2 Voltage.


      Powertrain > Engine > Data List
      Tester Display
      Throttle Position Sensor No.2 Voltage

    5. Read the values displayed on the GTS.

    6. Disconnect the throttle body with motor assembly connector.

    7. Compare the value of the Data List item Throttle Position Sensor No.2 Voltage after disconnecting the throttle body with motor assembly connector to the value when the connector was connected.

      Does not change from less than 2.05 V B

      Tech Tips

      Perform "Inspection After Repair" after replacing the throttle body with motor assembly.

  2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR - ECM)


    1. Disconnect the throttle body with motor assembly connector.

    2. Disconnect the ECM connector.

    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
