Circuit Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Lexus SC 430. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

If this DTC is stored, the ECM shuts down the power for the throttle motor, and the throttle valve is fully closed by the return spring and locked at a certain opening angle. Also, the whole electronically controlled throttle operation is cancelled until the system returns to normal and the ignition switch is turned off. Possible causes are open in ETCS power source circuit and ECM. See Fig 1.
