Test Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Pontiac Firebird and 2002 Chevrolet Camaro. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The numbers below refer to the step numbers in the diagnostic procedures.

  1. 3

    Inspect the throttle body assembly. Manually move the throttle blade from closed to Wide Open Throttle (WOT). You should not need to use excess force. The throttle blade should move smoothly through the full range and should return to a slightly open position.
  2. 5

    When the PCM detects a condition within the ETC system other DTCs may set due to the many redundant tests run continuously on this system. Locating and repairing 1 individual condition may correct more than 1 DTC. Keep this in mind when reviewing captured DTC info.
