cont - Checking the fault status

-------------------------------------------------

Checking the fault status




- Ignition off
- Start the engine
- Read off the diagnostic status and the fault status for diagnostic trouble code (DTC) ECM-919A.
Check the fault status when the status of the diagnostic is COMPLETED.
If the fault status is "NO FAULT FOUND" when the diagnostic status is COMPLETED the fault is intermittent at the moment.






Continue - Checking components and wiring

-------------------------------------------------

Checking components and wiring




- Ignition off
- Check the throttle unit and engine control module (ECM) connectors. Check for contact resistance and oxidation.
Check the resistance value of the damper motor winding in the throttle unit. Take readings between throttle unit terminals #1 and #4 (component side). Check for an open-circuit. Check for a short-circuit.

Note! The resistance of the motor winding in the damper motor is very low.

Check the cable (+) for the damper motor between engine control module (ECM) terminal #A35 (#A35) and throttle unit terminal #4 (wiring side). Check for an open-circuit. Check for a short-circuit to ground. Check for a short-circuit to supply voltage.
Check the cable (-) for the damper motor between engine control module (ECM) terminal #A36 (#A36) and throttle unit terminal #1 (wiring side). Check for an open-circuit. Check for a short-circuit to ground. Check for a short-circuit to supply voltage.
Also check the damper motor cables (+) and (-). Check for a short-circuit to each other.
Check that the shutter in the throttle unit is not blocked or sticking. Clean as necessary.
Remedy as necessary.

Continue - Adaptation of the throttle unit

-------------------------------------------------

Adaptation of the throttle unit

Note! The ignition must be switched on for at least 30 seconds after the basic conditions are met in order for the adaptation to start. It takes approximately 10 seconds to run the adaptation.








- Ignition off
- Reinstall the connectors, components etc.
- Ignition on
- Read off the parameters.
Check that the following basic conditions for adaptation of the throttle unit are met.
1. Ignition on / engine off
2. Battery voltage above 10 V
3. Accelerator pedal (AP) unaffected
4. The car must be stationary (no vehicle speed signal)
5. Engine coolant temperature (ECT) between 5-100 °C
6. Intake air temperature (IAT) above 5 °C.
Remedy as necessary.
Check that the adaptation is correctly run after the "Adaptation of the throttle unit running" parameter changes status from "YES" to "NO". When all basic conditions are met, the adaptation must be completed after approximately 40 seconds. When the adaptation is completed correctly, the following information will be displayed:
- Adaptation of the throttle unit: OK
- Adaptation of the throttle unit running: NO.









Then Select "Continue" when the adaptation has been completed correctly.

- Ignition off
- Reinstall the connectors, components etc.
- Start the engine
- Read off the diagnostic status and the fault status for diagnostic trouble code (DTC) ECM-919A.
Check that the fault status is "NO FAULT FOUND" when the diagnostic status is COMPLETED. If the fault status is "FAULT FOUND" when the diagnostic status is COMPLETED there is a fault.





Is the fault status "NO FAULT FOUND" when the status of the diagnostic is completed?

Yes - Fault Found

No - Programming the engine control module (ECM)
