Is there continuity?  

YES -Substitute a known-good throttle actuator control module (see THROTTLE ACTUATOR 
CONTROL MODULE REPLACEMENT ), then go to step 20 and recheck. If DTC P0123 is not 
indicated, replace the original throttle actuator control module (see THROTTLE ACTUATOR 
CONTROL MODULE REPLACEMENT ), then go to step 20. If DTC P0123 is indicated, go to step 
18. 

NO -Repair open in the wire between the throttle body and the throttle actuator control module (TPSA 
line), then go to step 20. 

13. Turn the ignition switch OFF.  

14. Disconnect the throttle body 6P connector.  

15. Disconnect the throttle actuator control module 16P connector (see THROTTLE ACTUATOR 

CONTROL MODULE REPLACEMENT ).  

16. Connect throttle body 6P connector terminal No. 4 to body ground with a jumper wire.

18. 

NO -Repair open in the wire between the throttle body and the throttle actuator control module (SG line), 
then go to step 20. 

18. Turn the ignition switch OFF.  

19. Replace the throttle body (see THROTTLE BODY REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ).  

20. Reconnect all connectors.  

21. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).  

22. Reset the ECM/PCM with the HDS.  

23. Do the ECM/PCM idle learn procedure (see ECM/PCM IDLE LEARN PROCEDURE ).  

24. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS. 

Is DTC P0123 indicated?  

YES -Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the throttle body and the throttle actuator control 
module, then go to step 1. 

NO -Troubleshooting is complete. If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs are indicated, go to the 
INDICATED DTCS TROUBLESHOOTING.

1. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).  

2. Clear the DTC with the HDS.  

3. Check TP SENSOR B in the DATA LIST with the HDS. 

Is there about 0.3 V or less?  

YES -Go to step 4. 

NO -Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at 
the throttle body and the throttle actuator control module. 

4. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS. 

Are DTC P0122 and P0222 indicated at the same time?  

YES -Go to step 9. 

NO -Go to step 5. 

5. Turn the ignition switch OFF.  

6. Disconnect the throttle body 6P connector.  

7. Disconnect the throttle actuator control module 16P connector (see THROTTLE ACTUATOR 

CONTROL MODULE REPLACEMENT ).  

8. Check for continuity between throttle body 6P connector terminal No. 3 and body ground.
