Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)

When Monitored:
Ignition on and battery voltage greater than 10 volts.
Set Condition:
Just after key on, the throttle is opened and closed to test the system. If the TP Sensor does not return to
Limp Home Position at the end of this test, this DTC will set. One trip fault and the code will set within 5
seconds. ETC light is flashing.
Possible Causes
THROTTLE PLATE STUCK ABOVE LIMP HOME POSITION
TP SENSOR NO.1 AND TP SENSOR NO.2 BOTH READ 2.5 VOLTS
(K447) ETC POSITIVE CIRCUIT SHORTED TO BATTERY VOLTAGE
(K447) ETC POSITIVE CIRCUIT OPEN
(K448) ETC NEGATIVE CIRCUIT OPEN
(K447) ETC POSITIVE CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND
(K448) ETC NEGATIVE CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND
PCM
Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE -
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
Diagnostic Test
1.ACTIVE DTC
NOTE: Maximum engine speed could be reduced while this fault is active, it just depends where the throttle
gets stuck.
Ignition on, engine not running.
NOTE: The PCM tests the ETC Motor by opening and closing the Throttle Plate before starting the engine.
If during this test the Throttle plate does not return to the closed positionthisDTCsets.
With a scan tool read DTCs.
NOTE: Diagnose any TP Sensor or 5-Volt Supply DTCs before continuing.
