Electric throttle control actuator

(When electric throttle control actuator does not function properly due to the return spring malfunction:)

ECM controls the electric throttle actuator by regulating the throttle opening around the idle position. The engine speed will not rise more than 2, 000 RPM.

(When throttle valve opening angle in fail-safe mode is not in specified range:)

ECM controls the electric throttle control actuator because of regulating the throttle opening to 20 degrees or less.
