Inspection Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Toyota RAV4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
HINT:
- Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
- The throttle actuator current (THROTTLE MOT) and the throttle actuator duty ratio (THROTTLE OPN DUTY / THROTTLE CLS DUTY) can be read using the intelligent tester. However, the ECM shuts off the throttle actuator current when the ETCS malfunctions.
- INSPECT THROTTLE BODY (RESISTANCE OF THROTTLE ACTUATOR)
- Disconnect the B3 throttle body connector.
- Measure the resistance of the throttle actuator.
Standard resistance
TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITIONTester Connections Specified Conditions 2 (M+) -1 (M-) 0.3 to 100Ω at 20°C (68°F) - Reconnect the throttle body connector.
NG: REPLACE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY

- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (THROTTLE ACTUATOR - ECM)
- Disconnect the B3 throttle body connector.
- Disconnect the B30 ECM connector.
- Measure the resistance.
Standard resistance (Check for open)
TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITIONTester Connections Specified Conditions B3-2 (M+) - B30-42 (M+) Below 1 Ω B3-1 (M-) - B30-41 (M-) Below 1 Ω Standard resistance (Check for short)
TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITIONTester Connections Specified Conditions B3-2 (M+) or B30-42 (M+) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher B3-1 (M-) or B30-41 (M-) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher - Reconnect the throttle body connector.
- Reconnect the ECM connector.
NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

OK: GO to next step
- INSPECT THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY
- Check for foreign objects between the throttle valve and the housing.
OK:
No foreign objects between throttle valve and housing.
NG: REMOVE FOREIGN OBJECT AND CLEAN THROTTLE BODY
OK: GO to next step
- Check for foreign objects between the throttle valve and the housing.
- INSPECT THROTTLE VALVE
- Check if the throttle valve opens and closes smoothly.
OK:
Throttle valve opens and closes smoothly.
NG: REPLACE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY
OK: REPLACE ECM
- Check if the throttle valve opens and closes smoothly.
