P2118 THROTTLE CONTROL MOTOR

Description

INFOID:0000000009947507

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 and it provides feed-
back to the ECM. ECM controls the throttle valve opening angle in response to driving conditions via the throt-
tle control motor.

P2119 ELECTRIC THROTTLE CONTROL ACTUATOR

Description

INFOID:0000000009947512

Electric throttle control actuator consists of throttle control motor, throttle position sensor, etc.
The throttle control motor is operated by the ECM and it opens and closes the throttle valve.
The throttle position sensor detects the throttle valve position, and feeds the voltage signal to the ECM. The
ECM judges the current opening angle of the throttle valve and controls the throttle valve opening angle in
response to driving conditions via the throttle control motor.
