P2119 ELECTRIC THROTTLE CONTROL ACTUATOR
DescriptionINFOID:0000000005398564
Electric throttle control actuator consists of th
rottle control motor, throttle position sensor, etc.
The throttle control motor is operated by the ECM and it opens and closes the throttle valve.
The throttle position sensor detects the throttle valv e position, and feeds the voltage signal to the ECM. The
ECM judges the current opening angle of the throttle valve and controls the throttle valve opening angle in
response to driving conditions via the throttle control motor.

• Diagnosis is performed as quickly as possible under normal conditions. Under different conditions [For example: ambient air temperature other than 20 - 30 °C (68 - 86° F)], diagno-
sis may also be performed.
Pattern 1:
• The engine is started at the engine coolant temperature of −10 to 35 °C (14 to 95 °F)
(where the voltage between the ECM te rminal 38 and ground is 3.0 - 4.3 V).
• The engine must be operated at idle speed until the engine coolant temperature is greater than 70 °C
(158° F) (where the voltage between the ECM te rminal 38 and ground is lower than 1.4 V).
• The engine is started at the fuel tank temperature of warmer than 0 °C (32° F) (where the voltage
between the ECM terminal 43 and ground is less than 4.1 V).
Pattern 2:
• When steady-state driving is performed again even afte r it is interrupted, each diagnosis can be conducted.
In this case, the time required for diagnosis may be extended.
Pattern 3:
• Operate vehicle following the driving pattern shown in the figure.
• Release the accelerator pedal during decelerating vehicle speed from 90 km/h (56 MPH) to 0 km/h (0 MPH).
Pattern 4:
• The accelerator pedal must be held very steady during steady- state driving.
• If the accelerator pedal is moved, the test must be conducted again.
*1: Depress the accelerator pedal until vehicle speed is 90 km/h (56
MPH), then release the accelerator pedal and keep it released for
more than 10 seconds. Depress the accelerator pedal until vehicle
speed is 90 km/h (56 MPH) again.
*2: Checking the vehicle speed with GST is advised.
