Inspection Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Lexus IS F. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
HINT.
- Read freeze frame data using the Techstream. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can be helpful in determining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, whether the engine was warmed up or not, whether the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, as well as other data recorded at the time of a malfunction.
- The throttle actuator current (Throttle Motor Current) and the throttle actuator duty ratio (Throttle Motor Open Duty/Throttle Motor Close Duty) can be read using the Techstream. However, the ECM shuts off the throttle actuator current when the electronic throttle control system malfunctions
- INSPECT THROTTLE BODY (RESISTANCE OF THROTTLE ACTUATOR)
- Disconnect the throttle body connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below
Standard Resistance
TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION CHARTTester Connection Condition Specified Condition 2 (M+) -1 (M-) 20°C (68°F) 0.3 to 100 Ω - Reconnect the throttle body connector
NG: REPLACE THROTTLE BODY (See REMOVAL )
OK: Go to next step
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (THROTTLE ACTUATOR - ECM)
- Disconnect the throttle body connector.
- Disconnect the ECM connector
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below
Standard Resistance (Check for Open)
TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION CHARTTester Connection Condition Specified Condition E17-2 (M+) - E4-7 (M+) Always Below 1 Ω E17-1 (M-) - E4-6(M-) Always Below 1 Ω Standard Resistance (Check for Short)
TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION CHARTTester Connection Condition Specified Condition E17-2 (M+) or E4-7 (M+) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher E17-1 (M-) or E4-6 (M-) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher - Reconnect the throttle body connector and ECM connector.
NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: Go to next step
- REPLACE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY
- Replace throttle body assembly (See REMOVAL ).
- CHECK WHETHER DTC OUTPUT RECURS (THROTTLE ACTIVATOR DTC)
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the Techstream ON.
- Clear DTCs (See DTC CHECK/CLEAR )
- Start the engine.
- Drive the vehicle several minutes
- Enter the following menus. Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes.
- Read the DTCs
Result
RESULT CHARTResult Proceed to DTC P2102 or P2103 is output A DTC is not output B
B: SYSTEM OK
A: REPLACE ECM (See REMOVAL )
