Electronic Control Throttle Operation Inspection

  1. Connect the M-MDS to the DLC-2.
  2. Perform the KOEO or KOER self test. (See KOEO/KOER SELF TEST [PCM (SKYACTIV-G 2.0)] .)
  3. Verify that none of the following DTCs are displayed:
    • P0122:00, P0123:00, P0222:00, P0223:00, P0638:00, P2101:00, P2107:00, P2109:00, P2110:00, P2112:00, P2119:00, P2122:00, P2123:00, P2127:00, P2128:00, P2135:00, P2138:00
  4. Access the following PCM PIDs using the M-MDS. (See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC TEST [PCM (SKYACTIV-G 2.0)] .)
    • ETC_ACT
    • ETC_DSD
  5. With the accelerator pedal not depressed and with it depressed to the floor, verify that the data monitor item ETC_ACT value changes in conjunction with the ETC_DSD value.
    • If this change cannot be verified, perform the Resistance Inspection for the throttle body.
