DTC P1217 ENGINE
OVER TEMPERATURE
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Cooling Fan Motor
The cooling fan operates at each speed when the curr ent flows in the cooling fan motor as follows.
The cooling fan operates at low (LOW) speed when cooli ng fan motors-1 and -2 are circuited in series under
middle speed condition.
CONSULT-III Reference Value in Data Monitor ModeINFOID:0000000001326292
Specification data are reference values.
On Board Diagn osis LogicINFOID:0000000001326293
If the cooling fan or another component in the coo ling system malfunctions, engine coolant temperature will
rise.
When the engine coolant temperature reaches an abnorma lly high temperature condition, a malfunction is
indicated.
This self-diagnosis has the one trip detection logic.

DTC P1225 TP SENSOR
Component DescriptionINFOID:0000000001326299
Electric throttle control actuator
consists of throttle control motor,
throttle position (TP) sensor, et c. The throttle position sensor
responds to the throttle valve movement.
The throttle position sensor has two sensors. These sensors are a
kind of potentiometers which transform the throttle valve position into
output voltage, and emit the voltage signal to the ECM. In addition,
these sensors detect the opening and closing speed of the throttle
valve and feed the voltage signals to the ECM. The ECM judges the
current opening angle of the throttle valve from these signals and the
ECM controls the throttle control motor to make the throttle valve
opening angle properly in response to driving condition.
