COMPONENT OPERATING RANGE

FAIL-SAFE

When this DTC, as well as other DTCs relating to ETCS (Electronic Throttle Control System) 
malfunctions, is set, the ECM enters fail-safe mode. During fail-safe mode, the ECM cuts the current to 
the throttle actuator off, and the throttle valve is returned to a 6

° throttle angle by the return spring. The 

ECM then adjusts the engine output by controlling the fuel injection (intermittent fuel-cut) and ignition 
timing, in accordance with the accelerator pedal opening angle, to allow the vehicle to continue at a 
minimal speed. If the accelerator pedal is depressed firmly and gently, the vehicle can be driven slowly.
Fail-safe mode continues until a pass condition is detected, and the ignition switch is then turned OFF.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT:
Read freeze frame data using an intelligent tester. Freeze frame data record the engine condition when 
malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was 
moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other 
data, from the time the malfunction occurred.

(a) Remove the ETCS fuse from the engine room R/B.
(b) Check the ETCS fuse resistance.

Standard resistance:

Below 1 

Ω

(c) Reinstall the ETCS fuse.

DESCRIPTION

The Electronic Throttle Control System (ETCS) is composed of the throttle actuator, Throttle Position (TP) 
sensor, Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) sensor, and ECM. The ECM operates the throttle actuator to 
regulate the throttle valve in response to driver inputs. The TP sensor detects the opening angle of the 
throttle valve, and provides the ECM with feedback so that the throttle valve can be appropriately 
controlled by the ECM.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The ECM determines the actual opening angle of the throttle valve from the TP sensor signal. The actual 
opening angle is compared to the target opening angle commanded by the ECM. If the difference 
between these two values is outside the standard range, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction in the 
ETCS. The ECM then illuminates the MIL and sets the DTC.
If the malfunction is not repaired successfully, the DTC is set when the accelerator pedal is quickly 
released (to close the throttle valve) after the engine speed reaches 5,000 rpm by the accelerator pedal 
being fully depressed (fully open the throttle valve).
