Circuit/System Description

The Engine control module (ECM) controls the throttle valve by applying a varying voltage to the control circuits of the throttle actuator control (TAC) motor. The ECM monitors the duty cycle that is required to actuate the throttle valve. The ECM monitors the throttle position sensors 1 and 2 to determine the actual throttle valve position.

OR

The ECM detects that the commanded duty cycle for the range test low is greater than 80 percent.

Either condition exists for greater than 5 second.


P1551

The ECM detects the TP sensor angle is less than 2 percent or greater than 13 percent when the throttle actuator control motor is deactivated.

P2100

The ECM detects the output circuit for the TAC motor is open, shorted to ground, or shorted to a voltage. The condition exists for greater than 1 s.

P2101

The ECM detects a 4-50 percent difference between the commanded and the actual throttle plate position, dependant upon the rate of commanded throttle movement. The condition exists for 1 s.

P2102

The ECM detects an over heating or over current condition. The condition exists for 1 s.

P2103

The ECM detects a throttle actuator circuit that is shorted. The condition exists for 1 s.

P2119

The ECM determines that the throttle valve did not return to the rest position within 1 s.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

DTCs P0638, P1551, P2100, P2101, P2102, P2103, and P2119 are type A DTCs.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

DTCs P0638, P1551, P2100, P2101, P2102, P2103, and P2119 are type A DTCs.

Diagnostic Aids

Inspect for a condition in which the throttle valve may have been held open. For example, ice may have formed in the throttle bore causing the throttle valve not to close.

Circuit/System Verification


1. Ignition ON, observe the DTC information with a scan tool. Verify DTCs P0121, P0122, P0123, P0221, P0222, or P0223 are not set.

2. If a DTC is set, refer to DTC P0121-P0123 or P0221-P0223 (With Turbocharger) for further diagnosis.

3. Observe the scan tool Throttle Position Sensor voltage parameters. Verify that Throttle Position Sensor 1 voltage is between 3.24-3.54 V, and Throttle Position Sensor 2 voltage is between 1.36-1.86 V.

4. If either Throttle Position Sensor voltage is not within the specified range, refer to DTC P0121-P0123 or P0221-P0223 (With Turbocharger) for further diagnosis.

5. Rapidly depress the accelerator pedal from the rest position to the wide open throttle position (WOT) and release pedal. Repeat the procedure several times. DTC P0638, P2100, P2101, P2102, P2103 or P2119 are not set.

6. If a DTC P0121, P0122, P0123, P0221, P0222, or P0223 set while performing this procedure, refer to DTC P0121-P0123 or P0221-P0223 (With Turbocharger) for further diagnosis.

7. Slowly depress the accelerator pedal to WOT and then slowly return the pedal to closed throttle. Repeat the procedure several times. DTC P0638, P2100, P2101, P2102, P2103 or P2119 are not set.

8. If a DTC P0121, P0122, P0123, P0221, P0222, or P0223 set while performing this procedure, refer to DTC P0121-P0123 or P0221-P0223 (With Turbocharger) for further diagnosis.

9. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC to verify the DTC does not reset. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.


Circuit/System Testing


1.
Warning

Turn OFF the ignition before inserting fingers into the throttle bore. Unexpected movement of the throttle blade could cause personal injury.


Ignition OFF, verify the following conditions do not exist with the Q38 throttle body assembly:

A throttle blade that is not in the rest position

A throttle valve that is binding open or closed

A throttle valve that opens or closes without spring pressure

2. If a condition is found, replace the Q38 throttle body.

3.
Note

Disconnecting the throttle body harness connector causes additional DTCs to set.


Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at Q38 throttle body.

4. Ignition ON, test for 4.0-4.2 V between the TAC motor control 1 circuit terminal B and ground.

5. If voltage is greater than the specified range, test each of the motor control circuits for a short to voltage. If the circuits tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.

6. If voltage is less than the specified range, test the motor control 1 circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.

7. Connect a test lamp between the TAC motor control 2 circuit terminal A and B+. The test lamp should NOT illuminate.

8. If the test lamp illuminates, test the control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.

9. Test for greater than 3.5 V between TAC motor control 1 circuit terminal B and TAC motor control 2 circuit terminal A.

10. If the voltage is less than the specified value, test the motor control 2 circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.

11. Ignition OFF, connect the EL 34730-405 Injector Test Lamp between the TAC motor control 1 circuit terminal B and TAC motor control 2 circuit terminal A of the throttle body harness connector. Observe the injector test lamp while turning the ignition ON for 5 s and then OFF. Verify the injector test lamp illuminates brightly and then turns OFF.

12. If the injector test lamp does not illuminate, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.

13. If all circuits test normal, replace the Q38 throttle body assembly.
