    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.

 | 
     
    
   
   
    
   
   
    
     
      
       | 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. 
 
 | 
     
    
   
   
    
   
   
    
     
      
       | 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. 
 
 | 
     
    
   
   
    
   
   
    
     
      
       | 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. 
 
 | 
     
    
   
   
    
   
   
    
     
      
       | 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. 
 
 | 
     
    
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
    
   
   
   
    
     
      
       | 1. | Inspect the Q38 throttle body for the following conditions: 
 
 | 
     
    
   
   
    
     
      
       |  | • | 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.
