DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) P0510
THROTTLE POSITION SWITCH CIRCUIT FAULT
(1.6L DOHC)
Circuit Description
The aim of the MTIA(Main Throttle Idle Actuator) is to con-
trol the idle speed with the throttle body itself. The throttle
is motorized for low opening angle (05, 195). The charac-
teristics of the air flow are not the same for low and high
opening angles. As a matter of fact, the gradient of the
mass air flow function of TP sensor is lower for small
angles that permits to be more precise during the idle
speed control. Out of idle speed the throttle is actuated
mechanically by a classical bowdencable.
This switch indicates throttle plate in idle position when
contact closed. This switch is fixed at the DC–motor drive
and the throttle plate closes the contact in dependence to
the actual motor drive position.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
S The engine stopped and ignition switch turned ON.
S DTCs P0122, P0123, P0222 and P0223 are not
set.
S MTIA output signal is highter than throttle position +
2.5° and throttle position is open at least 0.2 sec-
onds.
Or
S DTCs P0122, P0123, P0222, and P0223 are not
set.
S The throttle position output signal is greater than
30° and throttle position is closed at least 2 sec-
onds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
S The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) will illumi-
nate.S The ECM will record operating conditions at the
time the diagnostic fails. This information will be
stored in the Freeze Frame and Failure Records
buffers.
S A history DTC is stored.
S Coolant fan turns on.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
S The MIL will turn off after four consecutive ignition
cycles in which the diagnostic runs without a fault.
S A history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive warm
up cycles without a fault.
S Using the scan tool can clear DTC(s).
S Disconnecting the ECM battery feed for 10 sec-
onds.
Diagnostic Aids
An Intermittent problem may be caused by a poor connec-
tion, rubbed through wire insulation, or wire that is broken
inside the insulation.
VSS signal circuit should be thoroughly checked for the
following conditions
S Backed–out terminals
S Improper mating
S Broken locks
S Improperly formed
S Damaged terminals
S Poor terminal to wire connection
S Physical damage to the wiring harness
Ensure the VSS is correctly torqued to the trnasaxle hous-
ing.
