C0182

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The throttle position signal is used by the Accelerator and Servo Control Module (ASM) to control the actual throttle position that is requested by the EBTCM. The EBTCM compares the Delivered throttle position sensor value that is sent from the ASM to the throttle position sensor value sent from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) over the UART serial data line.

CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC
DTC C0182 will set if the ASM delivers current greater than 18 amps to the Accelerator Control and Adjuster for more than three seconds without the cable adjuster reaching its desired position.

ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
^ A malfunction Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) is stored.
^ The TCS is disabled.

CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE DTC
^ Condition for DTC is no longer present and scan tool clear DTC function is used.
^ 100 ignition cycles have passed with no DTC(s) detected.

DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
If an intermittent malfunction exists refer to General Electrical Diagnosis in Wiring Systems.

TEST DESCRIPTION
The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the diagnostic table.
4. This step checks if DTC C0181 is the cause for DTC C0182 for setting.
5. This step checks if DTC C0182 is a current fault.
