Problem
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
th ...

1. CHECK VVT SENSOR OUTPUT VOLTAGE
Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
Check the voltage between the specified terminal
and body ground.
Standard voltage
While turning the crankshaft pulley by hand,
measure the voltage between each terminal. Check
that the voltage ...
Throttle Actuator Control System
DESCRIPTION
The throttle actuator is operated by the ECM, and opens and closes the
throttle valve using the gears.
The opening angle of the throttle valve is detected by the Throttle Position
(TP) sensor, which is mounted
on the throttle body. The TP sensor provides feedback to the ECM ...
