DTC 31 THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR

DTC 31 THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR

DIAGNOSIS:

The input signal circuit of throttle position sensor is open or shorted.

TROUBLE SYMPTOM:

Shift point too high or too low, excessive shift shock, tight corner braking phenomenon.

WIRING DIAGRAM:

CHECK INPUT SIGNAL FOR TCM USING Vehicle Diagnostic Interface.

Connect the connectors to TCM, throttle position sensor and ECM.

Connect the Vehicle Diagnostic Interface to data link connector.

Turn the ignition switch to ON (engine OFF).

Turn the Vehicle Diagnostic Interface switch to ON.

Throttle fully closed.

Read the data of throttle position sensor using Vehicle Diagnostic Interface.


• Throttle position sensor input signal is indicated.


Is the value voltage 0.2 — 1.0 V?

Yes


No


CHECK INPUT SIGNAL FOR TCM USING Vehicle Diagnostic Interface.

Throttle fully open.

Note

Must be changed correspondingly with the accelerator pedal operation (from “released” to “depressed” position).


Is the value voltage 4.2 — 4.7 V?

Yes


No


CHECK INPUT SIGNAL FOR TCM USING Vehicle Diagnostic Interface (THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR POWER SUPPLY).

Read the data of throttle position sensor power supply using Vehicle Diagnostic Interface.


• Throttle position sensor power supply voltage is indicated.


Is the value voltage 4.8 — 5.3 V?

Yes

Even if the AT OIL TEMP warning light blinks, the circuit has returned to a normal condition at this time. A temporary poor contact of the connector or harness may be the cause. Repair the harness or connector in throttle position sensor circuit.


No


CHECK POOR CONTACT.

Is there poor contact in throttle position sensor circuit?

Yes

Repair the poor contact.


No

Replace the TCM.
