DIAGNOSIS


Required Special Tools:
  • MB991958: Scan tool (M.U.T.-III Sub Assembly)

    • MB991824: V.C.I.
    • MB991827: USB Cable
    • MB991910: Main Harness A

STEP 1. Check harness connector B-10 at throttle position sensor for damage.


Q. Is the harness connector in good condition?

Go to Step 2.
Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection . Then go to Step 11.

STEP 2. Check the continuity at throttle position sensor harness side connector B-10.


(1)Disconnect the connector B-10 and measure at the harness side.

(2)Measure the continuity between terminal No. 3 and ground.

  • Continuity (2 Ω or less)

Q. Does continuity exist?

Go to Step 6.

Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Check harness connector B-108 at ECM for damage.


Q. Q: Is the harness connector in good condition?

Go to Step 4.
Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection . Then go to Step 11.

STEP 4. Check for harness damage between throttle position sensor connector B-10 (terminal No. 3) and ECM connector B-108 (terminal No. 13).


Q. Is the harness wire in good condition?

Go to Step 5.
Repair it. Then go to Step 11.

STEP 5. Using scan tool MB991958, read the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).



caution To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before connecting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958.
(1)Connect scan tool MB991958 to the data link connector.
(2)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3)Erase the DTC.
(4)Depress the accelerator pedal fully for a few seconds.
(5)Check the DTC.
(6)Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q. Is DTC P2135 set?

Replace the ECM. When the ECM is replaced, register the ID code. Refer to GROUP 42B, Diagnosis - ID Code Registration Judgment Table <Vehicles with KOS> or GROUP 42C, Diagnosis - ID Codes Registration Judgment Table <Vehicles with WCM> . Then go to Step 11.

It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent. Refer to GROUP 00, How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions .

STEP 6. Check harness connector B-108 at ECM for damage.


Q. Is the harness connector in good condition?

Go to Step 7.
Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection . Then go to Step 11.

STEP 7. Check for harness damage between throttle position sensor connector B-10 (terminal No. 5) and ECM connector B-108 (terminal No. 12).


Q. Is the harness wire in good condition?

Go to Step 8.
Repair it. Then go to Step 11.

STEP 8. Check for harness damage between throttle position sensor connector B-10 (terminal No. 4) and ECM connector B-108 (terminal No. 10).


Q. Is the harness wire in good condition?

Go to Step 9.
Repair it. Then go to Step 11.

STEP 9. Check for harness damage between throttle position sensor connector B-10 (terminal No. 6) and ECM connector B-108 (terminal No. 11).


Q. Is the harness wire in good condition?

Go to Step 10.
Repair it. Then go to Step 11.

STEP 10. Replace the throttle body assembly.


(1)Replace the throttle body assembly.
(2)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3)Erase the DTC.
(4)Depress the throttle fully for a few seconds.
(5)Check the DTC.
(6)Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q. Is DTC P2135 set?

Replace the ECM. When the ECM is replaced, register the ID code. Refer to GROUP 42B, Diagnosis - ID Code Registration Judgment Table <Vehicles with KOS> or GROUP 42C, Diagnosis - ID Codes Registration Judgment Table <Vehicles with WCM> . Then go to Step 11.
The inspection is complete.
