1. INSPECT THROTTLE BODY
(a) Listen to the throttle control motor operating sounds.
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
(2) When pressing the accelerator pedal position sensor lever, listen to the running motor. Make sure that no friction noise comes from the motor.
If friction noise exists, replace the throttle body.
(b) Inspect the throttle position sensor.

(1) Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
(3) Check that the MIL turns off.
(4) Under CURRENT DATA, the throttle valve opening percentage (THROTTLE POS) should be within the standard range below.
Standard throttle valve opening percentage: 60% or more If the percentage is less than 60%, replace the throttle body.
| NOTICE: When checking the throttle valve opening percentage, the transmission should be in neutral. |

Engine Coolant Temperature Circuit
DESCRIPTION
A thermistor is built into the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor, of
which the resistance value
varies according to the ECT.
The structure of the sensor and its connection to the ECM are the same as those
of the Intake Air
Temperature (IAT) sensor.
HINT:
When any ...
