Electronic throttle control system

The ECM cuts off throttle actuator current and the throttle valve is returned to a 8° throttle position by the return spring.

The ECM then adjusts the engine output by controlling fuel injection (intermittent fuel cut) and ignition timing in accordance with the accelerator pedal angle to allow the vehicle to be driven at a low speed*3.

  • Fuel injector assembly

  • Electronic throttle control system

When a catalyst-damaging misfire occurs (MIL blinking), the following fail-safe operation is performed for catalyst overheat malfunction prevention.


  1. Under a low load and at a low engine speed:

    - Fuel cut is performed on the malfunctioning cylinder.

  2. Under a high load and at a high engine speed:

    - Throttle valve opening angle control is performed.

    - Fuel cut is performed on all cylinders or the malfunctioning cylinder.

Accelerator pedal position sensor

The accelerator pedal position sensor has 2 sensor circuits: Main and Sub.

If either circuit malfunctions, the ECM limits the engine output.

If both circuits malfunction, the ECM regards the accelerator pedal as being released. As a result, the throttle valve is closed and the engine idles.

Tech Tips


  • *3: The vehicle can be driven slowly when the accelerator pedal is depressed firmly and slowly. If the accelerator pedal is depressed quickly, the vehicle may speed up and slow down erratically.

  • *4: Misfire-related fail-safe operations occur when catalyst overheat malfunctions occur.
