  3. CHECK THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT FOR OPEN AND SHORT 
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Check harness continuity between electric throttle control actuator terminal 5 and engine ground.

      Continuity should exist. 

    3. Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.

    OK or NG

    • Harness for open or short between electric throttle control actuator and ECM
    1. : Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.
  5. CHECK THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR INPUT SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR OPEN AND SHORT 
    1. Disconnect ECM harness connector.
    2. Check harness continuity between ECM terminal 83 and electric throttle control actuator terminal 4, ECM terminal 84 and electric throttle control actuator terminal 2.

      Refer to wiring diagram

      Continuity should exist. 

    3. Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.

    OK or NG 

    1. OK: GO TO 6.
    2. NG: Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.
  6. CHECK THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR 

    Refer to Component Inspection, COMPONENT INSPECTION  .

    OK or NG 

    1. OK: GO TO  8 .
    2. NG: GO TO 7.
  7. REPLACE ELECTRIC THROTTLE CONTROL ACTUATOR 
    1. Replace the electric throttle control actuator.
    2. Perform THROTTLE VALVE CLOSED POSITION LEARNING  .
    3. Perform IDLE AIR VOLUME LEARNING  .
    1. : INSPECTION END
  8. CHECK INTERMITTENT INCIDENT 

    Refer to TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS FOR INTERMITTENT INCIDENT  .

    1. : INSPECTION END
