P2109





2ZR-FE ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM: SFI SYSTEM: P2109: Throttle / Pedal Position Sensor "A" Minimum Stop Performance
P2109 - Throttle / Pedal Position Sensor "A" Minimum Stop Performance

DESCRIPTION

The idling speed is controlled by the Electronic Throttle Control System (ETCS).

The ETCS is comprised of a throttle actuator, which operates the throttle valve, and a throttle position sensor, which detects the opening amount of the throttle valve.

The ECM controls the throttle actuator to adjust the throttle valve opening amount so that the idling speed is maintained at the target idling speed.





HINT
- The ISC learned value is the calculated intake air amount corresponding to the throttle opening amount necessary to maintain the idling speed.
- This malfunction is only detected once per trip. After it has been detected once, the system will not monitor for the malfunction for the rest of the trip.
- The system uses the throttle body and mass air flow meter to detect this malfunction.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

If there are deposits in the throttle valve, a decrease in the ISC flow rate may cause engine stall an unstable idling. Therefore, the necessary ISC flow rate for idling is maintained using the ISC learned value and feedback. The ECM stores this DTC if the ISC learned value approaches its limit. The ECM begins monitoring for the DTC detection conditions when the following preconditions are met: 1) the mass air flow meter is normal: 2) atmospheric pressure is 85 kPa (638 mmHg) or higher: 3) the vehicle has been driven at a speed of 30 km/h (18.65 mph) or more at least once: and 4) the engine coolant temperature is 45 °C (113 °F) or less at engine start, the engine is warmed up and conditions for ISC learning are met, or the ignition switch has been turned to ON (include engine running) for 1 hour or more, the engine is warmed up and conditions for ISC learning are met.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT
- Read freeze frame data using the Techstream. Freeze frame data records engine conditions when a malfunction occurs. This information can be useful when troubleshooting.
- Since a pending DTC is not stored for this DTC, it takes time to confirm whether the malfunction has been successfully repaired by checking for this DTC. When confirming whether the malfunction has been successfully repaired, compare "ISC Learning Value" recorded in the freeze frame data with "ISC Learning Value" in the Data List after repairs have been made to save time.

PROCEDURE

1. CHECK ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO P2109)

(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(b) Turn the ignition switch ON.

(c) Turn the Techstream on.

(d) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes.

(e) Read the DTCs.

Result





HINT
If any DTCs other than P2109 are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.

B -- GO TO DTC CHART Engine Control System - SFI System
A -- Continue to next step.

2. READ FREEZE FRAME DATA

(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(b) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

(c) Using the Techstream, check "ISC Learning Value" in the freeze frame data Freeze Frame Data.

HINT
Be sure to confirm "ISC Learning Value" in the freeze frame data as it is used when confirming whether the malfunction has been successfully repaired.

NEXT -- Continue to next step.

3. REMOVE FOREIGN OBJECT (CLEAN THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY)

(a) Clean off any deposits from the inside of the throttle body.

(1) Push open the throttle valve and wipe off any carbon from the valve and bore using a cloth soaked in non-residue solvent.

NOTICE:
- Make sure that the cloth or your fingers do not get caught in the valve.
- Make sure that foreign matter does not enter the throttle valve.
- Do not directly apply non-residue solvent to the throttle body or wash the throttle body. Cleaning solvent may leak into the motor from the shaft and cause problems such as rust or valve movement problems.
- If there is coating material on the edge of the valve, be careful not to remove it.
- Push the throttle valve open gently with your finger and check that the throttle valve moves smoothly.

HINT
If the throttle valve does not open smoothly, replace the throttle body.

NEXT -- Continue to next step.

4. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (ISC LEARNING VALUE)

(a) Remove the EFI and ETCS fuses at the same time, wait 60 seconds or more, and then reinstall the fuses to reset the ISC learning value.

(b) Start the engine and fully warm it up.

HINT
The A/C switch and all accessory switches should be off.

(c) Leave the vehicle idling for 3 minutes or more and check that the engine speed is at the standard idling speed.

HINT
Check the freeze frame data and make sure that the vehicle conditions are the same as when the DTC was stored.

(d) Using the Techstream, confirm "ISC Learning Value".

OK:

The value is half of "ISC Learning Value" recorded in the freeze frame data or less.

NG -- REPLACE THROTTLE BODY Removal

OK -- END
