Diagnosis Procedure

  1. CHECK GROUND CONNECTION
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Check ground connection E21. Refer to Ground Inspection in "CIRCUIT INSPECTION ".

      Is the inspection result normal? 

      YES: GO TO 2.

      NO: Repair or replace ground connection.

  2. CHECK THROTTLE CONTROL MOTOR RELAY INPUT SIGNAL CIRCUIT-I
    1. Check the voltage between ECM harness connector and ground.
      ECM Ground Condition Voltage
      Connector Terminal
      F7 2 Ground Ignition switch OFF Approx. 0 V
      Ignition switch ON Battery voltage

      Is the inspection result normal? 

      YES: GO TO  9.

      NO: GO TO 3.

  3. CHECK THROTTLE CONTROL MOTOR RELAY POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT
    1. Disconnect ECM harness connector.
    2. Disconnect IPDM E/R harness connector.
    3. Check the continuity between ECM harness connector and IPDM E/R harness connector.
      IPDM E/R ECM Continuity
      Connector Terminal Connector Terminal

    4. Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.

      Is the inspection result normal? 

      YES: GO TO  5.

      NO: GO TO 4.

  4. DETECT MALFUNCTION PART

    Check the following.

    • Harness connectors E7, F121
    • Harness for open or short between ECM and IPDM E/R

      : Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.

  5. CHECK THROTTLE CONTROL MOTOR RELAY INPUT SIGNAL CIRCUIT-II
    1. Check the continuity between ECM harness connector and IPDM E/R harness connector.
      IPDM E/R ECM Continuity
      Connector Terminal Connector Terminal
      E15 52 F7 2 Existed
    2. Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.

      Is the inspection result normal? 

      YES: GO TO  7.

      NO: GO TO 6.

  6. DETECT MALFUNCTION PART

    Check the following.

    • Harness connectors E7, F121
    • Harness for open or short between ECM and IPDM E/R

      : Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.

  7. CHECK FUSE
    1. Disconnect 20 A fuse (No. 61) from IPDM E/R. For the fuse number, refer to "WIRING DIAGRAM - ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM - ". For the fuse arrangement, refer to "FUSE, CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL ARRANGEMENT ".
    2. Check it 20 A fuse is blown.

      Is the inspection result normal? 

      YES: GO TO 8.

      NO: Replace 20 A fuse.

  8. CHECK INTERMITTENT INCIDENT

    Refer to "INTERMITTENT INCIDENT ".

    Is the inspection result normal? 

    YES: Replace IPDM E/R. Refer to "REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION ".

    NO: Repair or replace harness or connectors.

  9. CHECK THROTTLE CONTROL MOTOR OUTPUT SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR OPEN OR SHORT
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect electric throttle control actuator harness connector.
    3. Disconnect ECM harness connector.
    4. Check the continuity between electric throttle control actuator harness connector and ECM harness connector.
