P2118 THROTTLE CONTROL MOTOR

P2118 THROTTLE CONTROL MOTOR

Description

INFOID:0000000005536818

The throttle control motor is operated by the ECM and it opens and closes the throttle valve.
The current opening angle of the throttle valve is detected by the throttle position sensor. The throttle position
sensor provides feedback to the ECM, when opens/closes the throttle valve in response to driving conditions
via the throttle control motor.
