      • Perform the INTERMITTENT CONDITION diagnostic procedure. Refer to INTERMITTENT CONDITION .
        NOTE:

        If the P2100 is intermittent, it is possible that Low battery voltage is causing excessive current draw, in very hot or very cold ambient temperatures and this is considered a normal protection operation. No repair is necessary.

  2. CHECK THE (K447) ETC MOTOR (+) CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO 5.0 VOLTS 
    1. Turn the ignition off.

      Is there continuity between the (K447) ETC Motor (+) circuit and the (F855) 5-Volt Supply circuit?

      Yes 

      • Repair the (K447) ETC Motor (+) circuit for a short to the (F855) 5-Volt Supply circuit.
      • Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .

      No 

      • Go To  3
  3. CHECK THE (K448) ETC MOTOR (-) CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO 5.0 VOLTS 
    1. Check for continuity between the (K448) ETC Motor (-) circuit and the (F855) 5-Volt Supply circuit at the Throttle Body harness connector.

      Is there continuity between the (K448) ETC Motor (-) circuit and the (F855) 5-Volt Supply circuit?

      Yes 

      • Repair the (K448) ETC Motor (-) circuit for a short to the (F855) 5-Volt Supply circuit.
      • Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .

      No 

      • Go To  4
  4. CHECK FOR THE (K447) ETC MOTOR (+) CIRCUIT SHORTED TO THE (K448) ETC MOTOR (-) CIRCUIT 
    1. Check for continuity between the (K447) ETC Motor (+) circuit and the (K448) ETC Motor (-) circuit at the Throttle Body harness connector.

      Is there continuity between the (K447) ETC Motor (+) circuit and the (K448) ETC Motor (-) circuit?

      Yes 

      • Repair the short to between the (K447) ETC Motor (+) circuit and the (K448) ETC Motor (-) circuit.
      • Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .

      No 

      • Go To  5
  5. CHECK THE (K447) ETC MOTOR (+) CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND 
    1. Check for continuity between ground and the (K447) ETC Motor (+) circuit at the Throttle Body harness connector.

      Is there continuity between ground and the (K447) ETC Motor (+) circuit?

      Yes 

      • Repair the (K447) ETC Motor (+) circuit for a short to ground.
      • Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .

      No 

      • Go To  6
  6. CHECK THE (K448) ETC MOTOR (-) CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND 
    1. Check for continuity between ground and the (K448) ETC Motor (-) circuit at the Throttle Body harness connector.

      Is there continuity between ground and the (K448) ETC Motor (-) circuit?

      Yes 

      • Repair the (K448) ETC Motor (-) circuit for a short to ground.
      • Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .

      No 

      • Go To  7
  7. REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY AND RETEST FOR DTCS 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Replace the Throttle Body in accordance with the Service Information. After installation is complete, with a scan tool perform the ETC RELEARN function. Refer to THROTTLE BODY, REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .
    3. Connect the Throttle Body and PCM harness connectors.
