Detection Condition

If PCM detects throttle valve opening angle is less than 12.5 percent for 5 seconds after monitoring conditions are met, PCM determines throttle valve is stuck closed.

Monitoring Conditions

• Engine coolant temperature is more than 158°F (70°C).
• Mass Airflow (MAF) sensor signal is more than 73.4 grams/sec.

If PCM detects throttle valve opening angle is more than 50 percent for 5 seconds after monitoring conditions are met, PCM determines throttle valve is stuck open.

Monitoring Conditions

• Engine RPM is more than 500 RPM.
• MAF signal is less than 5 grams/sec.

This is a Continuous Monitor (CM). MIL illuminates if PCM detects malfunction condition in 2 consecutive drive cycles. Pending code is available if PCM detects malfunction condition during first drive cycle. Freeze Frame Data is available and DTC is stored in PCM memory.
