2.CHECK THE TTVA POSITIONS WITH THE AUTO ZERO FEATURE
NOTE: Each time the ignition is cycled to the on position, the ECM commands aTTVA internal calibration
procedure (autozero) to determine the zero position.
With the scan tool, monitor the TTVA position during the autozero test.
Ignition on, engine not running.
After the autozero test is completed, record the position percentage value.
Press and hold the accelerator pedal to full throttle after completion of the autozero test and record.
Subtract the TTVA full throttle value from the value recorded after the autozero test.
Is the difference between the two values greater than or equal to 48 degrees?

16.INTERMITTENT WIRING AND CONNECTORS
The conditions necessary to set this DTC are not present at this time.
Use the Freeze Frame Data to help duplicate the conditions in which the DTC originally set. Pay particular attention
to the DTC set conditions, such as, VSS, MAP, ECT, and Load
Using the schematics as a guide, visually inspect the related wiring harness. Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched,
or partially broken wires.
Visually inspect the related wiring harness connectors. Look for broken,bent, pushed out, or corroded terminals.
Wiggle the wiring and connectors while checking for any possible open or shorted circuits.
Check for any Service Information Tune-ups or Technical Service Bulletins that may apply.
Were there any problems found?
