DTC P0985 SHIFT SOLENOID ºEº CONTROL CIRCUIT
LOW (SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE SR)
DTC P0986 SHIFT SOLENOID ºEº CONTROL CIRCUIT
HIGH (SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE SR)
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Shifting from 1st to 5th is performed in combination with ºONº and ºOFFº operation of the shift solenoid valves
SL1, SL2, SL3, S4 and SR which is controlled by the ECM. If an open or short circuit occurs in either of the
shift solenoid valves, the ECM controls the remaining normal shift solenoid valve to allow the vehicle to be
operated smoothly (Fail safe function).

ECM
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECM commands gear shifts by turning the shift solenoid valves ºON/OFFº. When there is an open or
short circuit in any shift solenoid valve circuit, the ECM detects the problem and illuminates the MIL and
stores the DTC. And the ECM performs the fail-safe function and turns the other shift solenoid valves in good
condition ºON/OFFº (In case of an open or short circuit, the ECM stops sending current to the circuit.)

DTC P2102 THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL MOTOR
CIRCUIT LOW
DTC P2103 THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL MOTOR
CIRCUIT HIGH
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The throttle actuator is operated by the ECM and it opens and closes the throttle valve.
The opening angle of the throttle valve is detected by the throttle position sensor which is mounted on the
throttle body. The throttle position sensor provides feedback to the ECM. This feedback allows the ECM to
control the throttle actuator and monitor the throttle opening angle in response to driver inputs.
HINT:
This Electronic Throttle Control System (ETCS) does not use a throttle cable.

ECM
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECM monitors the flow of electrical current through the electronic throttle actuator, and detects malfunc-
tions or open circuits in the throttle motor based on the value of the electrical current. When the current devi-
ates from the standard, the ECM concludes that there is a fault in the throttle motor. Or, if the throttle valve
is not functioning properly (for example, stuck on), the ECM concludes that there is a fault and turns on the
MIL and a DTC is set.
Example:
When the current is more than 10 A, or the current is less than 0.5 A when the actuator driving duty ratio
is more than 80 %, the ECM concludes that the current is deviated from the standard, turns on the MIL and
a DTC is set.
FAIL-SAFE
If the ETCS has a malfunction, the ECM cuts off current to the throttle actuator. The throttle control valve
returns to a predetermined opening angle (approximately 16) by the force of the return spring. The ECM
then adjusts the engine output by controlling the fuel injection (intermittent fuel-cut) and ignition timing in
accordance with the accelerator pedal opening angle to enable the vehicle to continue at a minimal speed.
If the accelerator pedal is depressed firmly and slowly, the vehicle can be driven slowly.
If a ºpassº condition is detected and then the ignition switch is turned OFF, the fail-safe operation will stop
and the system will return to normal condition.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The throttle actuator is operated by the ECM and it opens and closes the throttle valve using gears. The
opening angle of the throttle valve is detected by the throttle position sensor, which is mounted on the throttle
body. The throttle position sensor provides feedback to the ECM to control the throttle actuator and set the
throttle valve angle in response to driver inputs.

This Electronic Throttle Control System (ETCS) does not use a throttle cable.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECM concludes that there is a malfunction of the ETCS when the throttle valve remains at a fixed angle
despite high drive current from the ECM. The ECM will turn on the MIL and will set a DTC.
FAIL-SAFE
If the ETCS has a malfunction, the ECM cuts off current to the throttle actuator. The throttle control valve
returns to a predetermined opening angle (approximately 16) by the force of the return spring. The ECM
then adjusts the engine output by controlling the fuel injection (intermittent fuel-cut) and ignition timing in

and the system will return to normal condition.

Read freeze frame data using the hand-held tester or the OBD II scan tool. Freeze frame data records the
engine conditions when a malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help deter-
mine if the vehicle was running or stopped, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean
or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

DTC P2119 THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL
THROTTLE BODY RANGE/PERFORMANCE
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The Electronic Throttle Control System (ETCS) is composed of a throttle actuator that operates the throttle
valve, a throttle position sensor that detects the opening angle of the throttle valve, an accelerator pedal
position sensor that detects the accelerator pedal position, and the ECM that controls the ETCS system.
The ECM operates the throttle actuator to position the throttle valve for proper response to driver inputs. The
throttle position sensor, which is mounted on the throttle body, detects the opening angle of the throttle valve
and provides this signal to the ECM so that the ECM can regulate the throttle actuator.
DTC No.DTC Detection ConditionTrouble Area
P2119
Throttle opening angle continues to vary greatly from target
throttle opening angle
(1 trip detection logic)Electronic throttle control system
ECM
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECM determines the ºactualº throttle angle based on the throttle position sensor signal. The ºactualº
throttle position is compared to the ºtargetº throttle position commanded by the ECM. If the difference be-
tween these two values exceeds a specified limit, the ECM interprets this as a fault in the ETCS system. The
ECM turns on the MIL and a DTC is set.
FAIL-SAFE
If the ETCS has a malfunction, the ECM cuts off current to the throttle actuator. The throttle control valve
returns to a predetermined opening angle (approximately 16) by the force of the return spring. The ECM
then adjusts the engine output by controlling the fuel injection (intermittent fuel-cut) and ignition timing in
accordance with the accelerator pedal opening angle to enable the vehicle to continue at a minimal speed.
If the accelerator pedal is depressed firmly and slowly, the vehicle can be driven slowly.
If a ºpassº condition is detected and then the ignition switch is turned OFF, the fail-safe operation will stop
and the system will return to normal condition.
