DTC P0220-15: Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch "B" Circuit Short to Battery or Open [11/2015 - ]: Procedure

  1. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR - ECM) 
    1. Disconnect the throttle body assembly connector.
    2. Disconnect the ECM connector.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      C4-4 (VTA2) - C31-101 (VTA2) Always Below 1 Ω
      C4-5 (VC) or C31-134 (VCTA) - Body ground and other terminals Always 10 kΩ or higher

      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  2

  2. CHECK TERMINAL VOLTAGE (POWER SOURCE OF THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR) 
    1. Disconnect the throttle body assembly connector.
    2. Turn the power switch on (IG).
    3. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Voltage

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      C4-5 (VC) - C4-3 (E2) Power switch on (IG) 4.5 to 5.5 V
      C4-4 (VTA2) - C4-3 (E2) Power switch on (IG) 3.0 to 5.0 V

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPLACE ECM. Refer to  REMOVAL [11/2015 - 12/2018]  , or refer to  REMOVAL [12/2018 - 07/2020]  , or refer to  REMOVAL [07/2020 - ] 

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  3

  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (RESISTANCE OF ECM) 
    1. Disconnect the throttle body assembly connector.
    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      C4-5 (VC) - C4-4 (VTA2) Power switch off 190 to 210 kΩ

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPLACE ECM. Refer to  REMOVAL [11/2015 - 12/2018]  , or refer to  REMOVAL [12/2018 - 07/2020]  , or refer to  REMOVAL [07/2020 - ] 

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  4

  4. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR NO. 2 VOLTAGE) 
    1. Disconnect the throttle body assembly connector.
    2. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    3. Turn the power switch on (IG).
    4. Turn the Techstream on.
    5. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Data List / Throttle Position Sensor No. 2 Voltage.

      Powertrain > Engine > Data List 

      Tester Display
      Throttle Position Sensor No. 2 Voltage
    6. According to the display on the Techstream, read the Data List.

      HINT: 

      Use the snapshot function to record the value displayed or make a note of it.

    7. Turn the power switch off.
    8. Turn the Techstream off.

      Result

      Proceed to
      NEXT

    Result: 

    NEXT 

    See step  5

  5. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR NO. 2 VOLTAGE)

    *a Front view of wire harness connector
    (to Throttle Body Assembly)
    1. Disconnect the throttle body assembly connector.
    2. Connect terminals 3 (E2) and 4 (VTA2) of the throttle body assembly connector on the wire harness side.
      NOTE:

      If the VTA2 terminal voltage or the resistance between VTA2 and E2 is abnormal and terminals 3 (E2) and 4 (VTA2) of the throttle body assembly connector are connected, excessive current may flow through the circuit. In this case, do not connect the terminals.

    3. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    4. Turn the power switch on (IG).
    5. Turn the Techstream on.
    6. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Data List / Throttle Position Sensor No. 2 Voltage.

      Powertrain > Engine > Data List 

      Tester Display
      Throttle Position Sensor No. 2 Voltage
    7. Compare the vehicle of the Data List item Throttle Position Sensor No. 2 Voltage after the circuit is shorted to the value when the throttle body assembly connector was connected.

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      The value of Throttle Position Sensor No. 2 Voltage changes from more than 4.75 V to less than 2.05 V A
      The value of Throttle Position Sensor No. 2 Voltage is more than 4.75 V and does not change B

    Result: 

    REPLACE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY 

    Refer to REMOVAL [11/2015 - ]

    HINT: 

    Perform "Inspection After Repair" after replacing the throttle body assembly.

    Refer to INITIALIZATION [11/2015 - ]

    Result: 

    REPLACE ECM. Refer to  REMOVAL [11/2015 - 12/2018]  , or refer to  REMOVAL [12/2018 - 07/2020]  , or refer to  REMOVAL [07/2020 - ]
