    NOTE:
    • Do not spray cleaning fluid to ETC directly and use a lint free cloth moistened with throttle cleaning fluid.
    • Be careful not to wipe the coating area (marked area) around the shaft. If the coating is removed, it causes foreign matters in the bearing in the shaft inside, and causes an idle control fault due to massive leakage of air.
