Monitor Description

The ECM determines that there is a malfunction in the electronic throttle control system when the throttle valve remains at a fixed angle despite a high drive current from the ECM. The ECM illuminates the MIL and sets a DTC.

If the malfunction is not repaired successfully, the DTC can be set when the accelerator pedal is fully depressed and released quickly (to fully open and close the throttle valve) after the subsequent engine is next start.
