Circuit/System Verification

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. Ignition ON, use a scan tool to observe the throttle position (TP) sensor 1 indicated position. Throttle position should increase as pedal is applied and decrease as pedal is released. When no accelerator pedal activity is detected, the throttle position will return to the spring loaded default position.
  2. NOTE: A low voltage condition may set this DTC.
  3. Review the Freeze Frame/Failure Records and ensure sufficient ignition voltage was present when the DTC was set.
    • If voltage was low, verify with the owner that the battery was not discharged. If the battery has not been discharged, refer to Power Mode Mismatch .
  4. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.
