OBD-II DRIVE CYCLE PATTERN

None.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (The most 
likely causes for this code to be set are:)

• Throttle position sensor failed.

• Open throttle position sensor (sub) circuit, har-

ness damage, or connector damage.

• ECM failed. 

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

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

• MB991824: V.C.I.

• MB991827: USB Cable

• MB991910: Main Harness A

• MB991658: Test Harness

STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, check data list item 15: 
Throttle Position Sensor (sub).

CAUTION

To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn the 
ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before con-
necting 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) Detach the intake air hose at the throttle body.
(4) Disconnect the connector of the throttle position sensor.
(5) Use test harness special tool (MB991658) to connect only 

terminals No. 3, No. 4, No. 5, and No. 6.

(6) Set scan tool MB991958 to the data reading mode for item 

15, Throttle Position Sensor (sub).

• Output voltage should be 4.0 volts or more when the 

throttle valve is fully closed with your finger.

• Output voltage should be 1.0 volt or less when the throt-

tle valve is fully open with your finger.

(7) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the sensor operating properly?

YES : 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 

P.00-15

.

NO :  Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Check harness connector B-08 at throttle position 
sensor for damage.
Q: Is the harness connector in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 3.
NO :  Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness 

Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

. Then go to Step 8.

STEP 3. Check the continuity at throttle position sensor 
harness side connector B-08.
(1) Disconnect the connector B-08 and measure at the harness 

side.

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

• Continuity (2 ohms or less)

Q: Does continuity exist?

YES : Go to Step 7.
NO :  Go to Step 4.

STEP 4. Check harness connector B-10 at ECM for 
damage.
Q: Is the harness connector in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 5.
NO :  Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness 

Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

. Then go to Step 8.

STEP 5. Check for open circuit and harness damage 
between throttle position sensor connector B-08 (terminal 
No. 3) and ECM connector B-10 (terminal No. 13).
Q: Is the harness wire in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 6.
NO :  Repair it. Then go to Step 8.

STEP 6. Using scan tool MB991958, check data list item 15: 
Throttle Position Sensor (sub).
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2) Detach the intake air hose at the throttle body.
(3) Disconnect the connector of the throttle position sensor.
(4) Use test harness special tool (MB991658) to connect only 

terminals No. 3, No. 4, No. 5, and No. 6.

(5) Set scan tool MB991958 to the data reading mode for item 

15, Throttle Position Sensor (sub).

• Output voltage should be 4.0 volts or more when the 

throttle valve is fully closed with your finger.
