Fail-Safe Chart
If any of the following codes are recorded, the ECM enters fail-safe mode.

Turn off heater | Ignition switch OFF |
| P0100 P0102 P0103 |
Ignition timing is calculated from engine RPM and TP (Throttle Position) | "Pass" condition detected |

If the Electronic Throttle Control System (ETCS) has a malfunction, the ECM cuts off current to the throttle actuator. The throttle control valve returns to a predetermined opening angle (approximately 16°) by the force of the return spring. The ECM then adjusts the engine output by controlling the fuel injection (intermittent fuel-cut) and ignition timing in accordance with the accelerator pedal opening angle to enable the vehicle to continue at a minimal speed. If the accelerator pedal is depressed firmly and slowly, the vehicle can be driven slowly. If the accelerator pedal is depressed quickly, the vehicle may speed up and slow down erratically. | "Pass" condition is detected and then the ignition switch is turned OFF. |

Maximum ignition timing retardation | Ignition switch OFF |
| P0351 P0352 P0353 P0354 P0355 P0356 |
Fuel is cut | "Pass" condition detected |
| P2120 P2121 P2122 P2123 P2125 P2127 P2128 P2138 |
The accelerator pedal position sensor has 2 (main and sub) sensor circuits. If a malfunction occurs in either of the sensor circuits, the ECM detects the abnormal signal voltage difference between the 2 sensor circuits and switches to fail-safe mode. In fail-safe mode, the functioning circuit is used to calculate the accelerator pedal opening angle to allow the vehicle to continue driving. If both circuits malfunction, the ECM regards the opening angle of the accelerator pedal to be fully closed. In this case, the throttle valve will remain closed as if the engine is idling. | "Pass" condition is detected and the ignition switch is turned OFF. |
