    NOTE:
    • Be careful not to get foreign matters into the ETC.
    • Do not spray cleaning fluid to ETC directly and use a lint free cloth moistened with throttle cleaning fluid.
    • Be careful as fingers or cloth may get caught in the valve.
    • Be careful not to wipe the coating liquid (displayed area) around the shaft. If the coating liquid is removed, a poor idle control may occur due to the inflow of foreign matters into the shaft inner bearing and an excessive amount of air leaking.
  3. Install the ETC module.
