Throttle Body (Throttle Valve Area) Cleaning

THROTTLE BODY (THROTTLE VALVE AREA) CLEANING

WARNING: If the throttle valve is operated in service, a finger might be injured as the result of being caught by the throttle valve. Make sure that the ignition switch is surely in "LOCK" (OFF) position before the service in order that the throttle valve cannot be operated.

CAUTION:
- When the throttle body cleaning is performed, use scan tool MB991958 to initialize the learning value.
- Do not spray the cleaning solvent directly to the throttle valve.
- Make sure the cleaning solvent does not enter the motor and the sensor through the shaft.

1. Remove the throttle body.
2. Spray cleaning solvent on a clean cloth.
3. Wipe off the dirt around the throttle valve with the cloth sprayed with cleaning solvent.
4. Attach the air intake hose.
