Throttle Position (TP) Sweep Inspection

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Mazda 6. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Connect the WDS or equivalent to the DLC-2.
  2. Turn ignition switch to ON position.
  3. Verify that following DTCs are not displayed:
    • P0121, P0122, P0123, P0221, P0222, P0223, P2100, P2101, P2102, P2103, P2107, P2108, P2119, P2122, P2123, P2127, P2128, P2135, P2136
      • If any DTC is displayed, perform DTC inspection. (See DTC TABLE .)
  4. Access TP_REL PID.
  5. Verify that the PID reading is within the CTP value. (See PCM INSPECTION .)
    • If the PID reading is out of range, perform the following:
      • Remove air duct from throttle body.
      • Verify that throttle valve moves when the accelerator pedal is depressed.
        • If the throttle valve moves, inspect the following:
      • TP sensor and related harness
        • If the throttle valve does not move, inspect the following:
      • Throttle actuator control motor and related harness
  6. Gradually move the throttle valve and verify that the PID reading increases linearly.
    • If the PID reading drops momentarily, inspect the following:
      • TP sensor
  7. Fully depress the accelerator pedal and verify that the PID reading is within the WOT value. (See PCM INSPECTION .)
    • If the PID reading is out of range, perform the following:
      • Remove air duct from throttle valve body.
      • Verify that the throttle valve moves when the accelerator pedal is depressed.
        • If the throttle valve moves, inspect the TP sensor and related harness.
        • If the throttle valve does not move, inspect the throttle actuator control motor and related harness.
