TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
- ECM checks the throttle position sensor output signal
characteristics for abnormal conditions.
DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS
Detect malfunction if the relation between throttle position
sensor (main) and throttle position sensor (sub) is wrong.
MONITOR EXECUTION
MONITOR EXECUTION CONDITIONS (Other monitor and Sensor)
Other Monitor (There is no temporary DTC stored in memory
for the item monitored below)
Sensor (The sensor below is determined to be normal)
DTC SET CONDITIONS <Range/Performance problem-relation between
main and sub>
Logic Flow Chart
Check Conditions
- The target output voltage of the throttle position sensor is 0.9 volt or less.
- Throttle position sensor (main) output voltage is between 0.2 and 4.8 volts.
- Throttle position sensor (sub) output voltage is between 0.2 and 4.8 volts.
- Battery positive voltage is higher than 8.3 volts.
Judgement Criterion
- Voltage obtained with the formula given below is 0.3 volt or higher for 0.3 second: [throttle
position sensor (main) voltage -
throttle position sensor (sub) voltage]
note |
The throttle position sensor voltage used for the judgement is converted into the throttle position
sensor voltage for the internal processing by the ECM.

Logic Flow Chart
Check Conditions
- Throttle position sensor (main) output voltage is between 0.2 and 4.8 volts.
- Throttle position sensor (sub) output voltage is between 0.2 and 4.8 volts.
Judgement Criterion
- For 0.3 second, the sum of the output voltage of the throttle position sensors (main)
and (sub) is 4.5 V or less, or 5.5 V or more.
