CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
HINT:

This electrical throttle system is no used throttle cable.

This throttle position sensor is non±contact type.
The throttle position sensor is mounted on the throttle body to detect the opening angle of the throttle valve.
Since this sensor is electronically controlled with hall elements, accurate control and reliability can be ob-
tained. It has 2 sensors to detect the throttle opening angle and a malfunction of the throttle position sensor.
The voltage is applied to the terminals VTA1 and VTA2 of the ECM changes between 0 V and 5 V in propor-
tion to the opening angle of the throttle valve. The VTA1 is a signal to indicate the actual throttle valve open-
ing angle which is used for the engine control, and the VTA2 is a signal to indicate the information about the
opening angle which is used for detecting a malfunction.
The ECM judges the current opening angle of the throttle valve from these signals input from terminals VTA1
and VTA2, and the ECM controls the throttle motor to make the throttle valve angle properly in response to
the driving condition.

NOTICE:
When a malfunction is detected, the throttle valve is locked at a certain opening angle. Also, the
whole electronically controlled throttle operation is cancelled until the system returns to normal and
the ignition switch is turned OFF.
HINT:

After confirming DTCs, use the hand±held tester to confirm the throttle valve opening percentage and
closed throttle position switch condition.

The THROTTLE POS means VTA1 signal as well as the THROTTLE POS #2 for the VTA2 signal.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:

If different DTCs related to different systems that have terminal E2 as the ground terminal are output
simultaneously, terminal E2 may be open.

Read freeze frame data using the hand±held tester. Freeze frame data records the engine conditions
when a malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, it is useful for determining whether the vehicle
was running or stopped, the engine was warmed up or not, the air±fuel ratio was lean or rich, etc. at
the time of the malfunction.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
A thermistor is built in the engine coolant temperature sensor and changes the resistance value according
to the engine coolant temperature.
The structure of the sensor and connection to the ECM is the same as those of the intake air temperature
sensor.
If the ECM detects the DTC ºP0115, P0117 or P0118º, it operates the fail±safe functions in which the engine
coolant temperature is assumed to be 80C (176F).
