Reference (Normal Condition)
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECM uses the Throttle Position (TP) sensor to monitor the throttle valve opening angle. There are
several checks that the ECM performs to confirm the proper operation of the TP sensor.
• A specific voltage difference is expected between the sensor terminals, VTA1 and VTA2, for each
throttle valve opening angle. If the difference between VTA1 and VTA2 is incorrect, the ECM interprets
this as a malfunction in the sensor, and sets a DTC.
• VTA1 and VTA2 each have a specific voltage range. If VTA1 or VTA2 is outside the normal operating
range, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction in the sensor, and sets a DTC.
• VTA1 and VTA2 should never be close to the same voltage level. If VTA1 is within 0.02 V of VTA2, the
ECM determines that there is a short circuit in the sensor, and sets a DTC.
If the malfunction is not repaired successfully, a DTC is set 2 seconds after the engine is next started.

HINT:
This DTC relates to the Throttle Position (TP) sensor.
DESCRIPTION
Refer to DTC P0120 (See page ES-145).
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECM uses the TP sensor to monitor the throttle valve opening angle.
This sensor transmits two signals: VTA1 and VTA2. VTA1 is used to detect the throttle opening angle and
VTA2 is used to detect malfunctions in VTA1. The ECM performs several checks to confirm the proper
operation of the TP sensor and VTA1.
For each throttle opening angle, a specific voltage difference is expected between the outputs of VTA1
and VTA2. If the voltage output difference between the two signals deviates from the normal operating
range, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction of the TP sensor. The ECM illuminates the MIL and sets
the DTC.
If the malfunction is not repaired successfully, the DTC is set 2 seconds after the engine is next started.

High or Low Impedance of Heated Oxygen (HO2) Sensor (DTCs P0136 and P0156 or P0137 and
P0157)
During normal air-fuel ratio feedback control, there are small variations in the exhaust gas oxygen
concentration. In order to continuously monitor the slight variation of the HO2 sensor signal while the
engine is running, the impedance* of the sensor is measured by the ECM. The ECM determines that there
is a malfunction in the sensor when the measured impedance deviates from the standard range.
*: The effective resistance in an alternating current electrical circuit.
HINT:
• The impedance cannot be measured using an ohmmeter.
• DTCs P0136 and P0156 indicate the deterioration of the HO2 sensor. The ECM sets the DTCs by
calculating the impedance of the sensor when the typical enabling conditions are satisfied (1 driving
cycle).
• DTCs P0137 and P0157 indicate an open or short circuit in the HO2 sensor (1 driving cycle). The ECM
sets the DTCs when the impedance of the sensor exceeds the threshold 15 k
.

DESCRIPTION
The idling speed is controlled by the ETCS (Electronic Throttle Control System). The ETCS is comprised
of: 1) the one valve type throttle body; 2) the throttle actuator, which operates the throttle valve; 3) the
Throttle Position (TP) sensor, which detects the opening angle of the throttle valve; 4) the Accelerator
Pedal Position (APP) sensor, which detects the accelerator pedal position; and 5) the ECM, which
controls the ETCS.
Based on the target idling speed, the ECM controls the throttle actuator to provide the proper throttle valve
opening angle.
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECM monitors the idling speed and idling air flow volume to conduct Idle Speed Control (ISC). The
ECM determines that the ISC system is malfunctioning if the following conditions are met:
• The learned idling air flow volume remains at the maximum or minimum volume 5 times or more in a
drive cycle.
• While driving at 6 mph (10 km/h) or more, the actual engine idling speed varies from the target idling
speed by between 100 rpm and 200 rpm, 5 times or more in a drive cycle.
