Conditions

Throttle Motor. Full PWM in Closing Direction. NOTE. May set if Mechanism is not Reset.





Fault symptoms
- CHECK ENGINE.
- Incorrect idle speed.
- Cruise control inoperative.

On-Board Diagnostics

Type of diagnosis:
- Continuous. But interrupted when fault criteria fulfilled and will not restart until next driving cycle.

Enable criteria:
- Test 1: Engine running. Car in motion.
- Test 2: Engine running for less than 5 s.

Fault criteria:
- Test 1 and Test 2: Throttle motor receiving 100% PWM in closing direction.

Dependents:
- None.

System reaction to a fault:
- Throttle control goes into limp-home mode. The limp-home solenoid will be activated 5 times in succession each time the ignition is turned on until the fault has been rectified and the trouble codes cleared.

OK report:





- Accelerator pedal has been depressed at some time and then fully released. 120 s has expired since then without fault criteria being fulfilled.

Fault handling: Fault Handling III, Other Emission-Related Comp. & Function
- CHECK ENGINE goes on immediately and can be turned off only by clearing the trouble codes.

Diagnostic help
A mechanical fault is preventing the throttle from closing.

Check the wiring
Jiggle the leads and in-line connectors at various points and in different directions to detect any intermittent breaks or short circuit in the wiring. Observe the multimeter, test lamp or diagnostic tool while doing this.
