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. |

RemovalThrottle Actuator Control Throttle Body Range / Performance
DESCRIPTION
The Electronic Throttle Control System (ETCS) is composed of the throttle
actuator, Throttle Position (TP)
sensor, Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) sensor, and ECM. The ECM operates the
throttle actuator to
regulate the throttle valve in response to driver inputs. The TP senso ...
Blower Motor Circuit
DESCRIPTION
The blower motor is operated by signals from the A/C amplifier. Blower motor
speed signals are
transmitted by changes in the Duty Ratio.
Duty Ratio
The duty ratio is the ratio of the period of continuity in one cycle. For
example, if A is the period of
continuity in one cycl ...
