Diagnosis Procedure

  1. CHECK DTC PRIORITY 

    If DTC P1233 or P2101 is displayed with DTC P1238 or P1290, first perform the confirmation procedure for DTC P1238 or P1290.

    Is applicable DTC detected?

    YES

    Perform diagnosis of applicable.

    NO

    GO TO 2.

  2. CHECK FUSE 
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect 15 A fuse (No. 63) from IPDM E/R.
    3. Check 15 A fuse for blown.

    Is the fuse blown (open)?

    YES

    Replace the fuse. [Check the power supply if fuse is blown (open) again.]

    NO

    GO TO 3.

  3. CHECK THROTTLE CONTROL MOTOR RELAY INPUT SIGNAL 

    Check the voltage between ECM harness connector terminals as per the following.

  4. CHECK THROTTLE CONTROL MOTOR RELAY POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT 
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect ECM harness connector.
    3. Disconnect IPDM E/R harness connector.
    4. Check the continuity between IPDM E/R harness connector and ECM harness connector.

    Perform the trouble diagnosis for power supply circuit.

    NO

    Repair or replace error-detected parts.

  6. CHECK THROTTLE CONTROL MOTOR OUTPUT SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR OPEN OR SHORT 
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect electric throttle control actuator harness connector.
    3. Disconnect ECM harness connector.
    4. Check the continuity between electric throttle control actuator harness connector and ECM harness connector.
