    3. Check voltage between electric throttle control actuator terminal 1 and ground with CONSULT-II or tester.

      Voltage: Approximately 5V 

    1. OK or NG 
    2. OK: GO TO 3.
    3. NG: Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.
  3. Check Throttle Position Sensor 2 Ground Circuit For Open And Short 
    1. Turn ignition switch: OFF.
    2. Disconnect ECM harness connector.
    3. Check harness continuity between electric throttle control actuator terminal 5 and ECM terminal 89.

      Continuity should exist. 

      Refer to WIRING DIAGRAM .

    4. Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.
    1. OK or NG 
    2. OK: GO TO  5.
    3. NG: GO TO 4.
  4. Detect Malfunctioning Part 

    Check the following.

    • Joint connector-30
    • 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 2 Input Signal Circuit For Open And Short 
    1. Check harness continuity between ECM terminal 98 and electric throttle control actuator terminal 2.

      Continuity should exist. 

      Refer to WIRING DIAGRAM .

    2. 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 .

    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 ACCELERATOR PEDAL RELEASED POSITION LEARNING .
    3. Perform THROTTLE VALVE CLOSED POSITION LEARNING .
    4. Perform IDLE AIR VOLUME LEARNING .
      1. : INSPECTION END 
  8. Check Intermittent Incident 

    Refer to TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS FOR INTERMITTENT INCIDENT .

    1. : INSPECTION END
