Diagnostic Test
- CHECK FOR OTHER DTCS NOTE:
If there are any other Throttle Body DTCs present, they must be diagnosed and repaired before continuing this test.
NOTE:If there is a loss of communication with the ABS Module or implausible data from the ABS Module DTC present, diagnose and repair those faults before proceeding. A Loss of communication with the ABS Module will cause the PCM to default the vehicle speed to zero while driving and will false fail the idle speed rationality diagnostics, setting this code.
- With the scan tool, read DTCs and record on the repair order.
Are there any Throttle Body or ABS Module DTCs present?
Yes
- Repair the DTC(s) as necessary.
No
- Go To 2
- With the scan tool, read DTCs and record on the repair order.
- CHECK FOR AN ACTIVE DTC
- Start the engine.
- Test drive or operate the vehicle in accordance with the when monitored and set conditions.
- With the scan tool, read DTCs.
Is the DTC active or pending?
Yes
- Go To 3
No
- Perform the INTERMITTENT CONDITION diagnostic procedure. Refer to INTERMITTENT CONDITION .
- CHECK THE PCV SYSTEM
- Turn the ignition off.
- Inspect the PCV system for the following problems:
- Leaks - cracked or damaged hoses or tubes
- Poor hose or tube connections
- PCV valve stuck open
Were any problems found?
Yes
- Repair as necessary.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Go To 4
- CHECK THE ENGINE FOR VACUUM LEAKS WARNING:
When the engine is operating, do not stand in direct line with the fan. Do not put your hands near the pulleys, belts, or fan. Do not wear loose clothing. Failure to follow these instructions can result in possible serious or fatal injury.
- Start the engine.
- Inspect the engine for internal leaks.
- Inspect any external components that can create a vacuum leak. Inspect the following items, but not limited too:
- Vacuum supply lines
- Brake Booster
- Purge Solenoid
- Engine seals
Were any vacuum leaks found?
Yes
- Repair the vacuum leak as necessary.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Go To 5
- CHECK THE THROTTLE BODY OPERATION
- Inspect the throttle body for carbon build up, other restrictions, and a bent throttle plate using a straight edge.
- If the throttle plate does not close entirely it may be bent and needs to be replaced.WARNING:
When the engine is operating, do not stand in direct line with the fan. Do not put your hands near the pulleys, belts, or fan. Do not wear loose clothing. Failure to follow these instructions can result in possible serious or fatal injury.
- While the vehicle is running, perform a wire and connector wiggle test on the ETC Motor wiring and connections, and listen for idle to raise.
Were any problems found or did the idle fluctuate while performing a wire and connector wiggle test?
Yes
- Verify that there is good pin to terminal contact in the Throttle Body and Powertrain Control Module connectors. If no problems are found, replace the Throttle Body Assembly. Refer to THROTTLE BODY, REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION . After installation is complete, with a scan tool select the ETC RELEARN function.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Go To 6
- CHECK RELATED PCM AND COMPONENT CONNECTIONS
- Perform any Service Bulletins that apply.
- Disconnect all PCM harness connectors.
- Disconnect all related in-line harness connections (if equipped).
- Disconnect the related component harness connectors.
- Inspect harness connectors, component connectors, and all male and female terminals for the following conditions:
- Proper connector installation.
- Damaged connector locks.
- Corrosion.
- Other signs of water intrusion.
- Weather seal damage (if equipped).
- Bent terminals.
- Overheating due to a poor connection (terminal may be discolored due to excessive current draw).
- Terminals that have been pushed back into the connector cavity.
- Check for spread terminals and verify proper terminal tension.
Repair any conditions that are found.
- Reconnect all PCM harness connectors. Be certain that all harness connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
- Reconnect all in-line harness connectors (if equipped). Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
- Reconnect all related component harness connectors. Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
- With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
- Test drive or operate the vehicle in accordance with the when monitored and set conditions.
- With the scan tool, read DTCs.

- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
- Test complete.
