Throttle Body (SMT): Inspection

  1. INSPECT THROTTLE CONTROL MOTOR 
    1. Using an ohmmeter, measure the motor resistance between terminal 1 (M+) and 2 (M-).

      Motor resistance: 0.3 - 100 Ω at 20°C (68°F) 

      If the resistance is not as specified, replace the throttle body assembly.

    2. Using an ohmmeter, measure the clutch resistance between terminal 3 (CL-) and 4 (CL+).

      Clutch resistance: 4.2 - 5.2 Ω at 20°C (68°F) 

    If the resistance is not as specified, replace the throttle body assembly.

  2. INSPECT THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR 

    Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between terminals VC and E2.

    Resistance: 1.2 - 3.2 kΩ at 20°C (68°F) 

    If the resistance is not as specified, replace the sensor (See REPLACEMENT ).

  3. INSPECT ACCELERATOR POSITION SENSOR 

    Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between terminals VC and E2.

    Resistance: 1.2 - 3.2 kΩ at 20°C (68°F) 

    If the resistance is not as specified, replace the sensor (See REPLACEMENT ).
