Diagnostic Aids
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Chevrolet Corvette. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Inspect the throttle blade for being broken, bent, or missing.
- Inspect the Throttle Position (TP) sensor for proper installation. A sensor that is mis-aligned could set this DTC.
- Inspect the Throttle Actuator Control (TAC) module connectors for signs of water intrusion. If water intrusion occurs, multiple DTCs may set without any circuit or component conditions found during diagnostic testing.
- Physically and visually inspect the throttle body assembly and correct any problems that you observe. 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 then should independently return to a slightly open position.
- When the TAC module detects a condition within the TAC system, more than 1 TAC system related DTC may set. This is due to the many redundant tests run continuously on this system. Locating and repairing 1 individual condition may correct more than 1 DTC. Disconnecting components during testing may set additional DTCs. Remember this if you review the stored information in Capture Info.
- For an Intermittent condition, see INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM.
