6. ETCS-i (Electronic Throttle Control System-intelligent)
General
The ETCS-i is used, providing excellent throttle control in all the operating ranges. In the 2AZ-FE
engine, the accelerator cable has been discontinued, and an accelerator pedal position sensor has been
provided on the accelerator pedal.
In the conventional throttle body, the throttle valve opening is determined by the amount of the
accelerator pedal effort. In contrast, the ETCS-i uses the ECM to calculate the optimal throttle valve
opening that is appropriate for the respective driving condition and uses a throttle control motor to control
the opening.
The ETCS-i controls the IAC (Idle Air Control) system, the TRAC (Traction Control), VSC (Vehicle
Stability Control) system and curise control system.
In case of an abnormal condition, this system switches to the limp mode.

Fail-safe of Throttle Position Sensor
The throttle position sensor is comprised of two (main, sub) sensor circuits. If a malfunction occurs in
either one or both of the sensor circuits, the ECM detects the abnormal signal voltage difference between
these two sensor circuits, cuts off the current to the throttle control motor, and switches to the limp mode.
Then, the force of the return spring causes the throttle valve to return and stay at the prescribed opening
angle. At this time, the vehicle can be driven in the limp mode while the engine output is regulated
through the control of the fuel injection (intermittent fuel-cut) and ignition timing in accordance with the
accelerator opening.
The same control as above is effected if the ECM detects a malfunction in the throttle control motor
system.
