General Information





Component Location





General Description

The Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) system is made of the components throttle body, Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) 1 & 2 and Accelerator Position Sensor (APS) 1 & 2. The APS is mounted in the accelerator pedal to detect the opening angle of the accelerator pedal. It has 2 sensors to detect the accelerator position and a malfunction of the accelerator position sensor. The ECM judges the current opening angle of the accelerator pedal from APS1 & 2, and the ECM controls the throttle motor based on these signals.

DTC Description

Checking output signals from APS 2 under detecting condition, if output signals are below the threshold, PCM sets P2127. And then MIL (Malfunction Indication Lamp) turns on.
