Fault Isolation Procedure

  1. Checking the control module's sensor input:
    • Unplug the connector: Throttle body (604).
    • Connect a jumper lead between pins 1 and 9 of the female connector.
    • Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
    • Contact ECM.
    • Read value: Pedal Position Sensor 2.
    If the diagnostic tool shows 4.95-5.00 volts, go to step  3, otherwise go to next step.
  2. Rectifying the lead: Shorting between the sensor leads from pins 1 and 3 of the throttle body. Rectify the fault and go to step  4.
  3. NOTE: Next time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position the limp-home solenoid will be activated. The flap valve will then assume the mechanical limp-home position. It is therefore important to reset the limp-home mechanism AFTER all DTCs have been cleared.
  4. Changing components: Change the Throttle body. When finished, go to next step.
  5. Final check:
    • Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
    • Clear DTCs (ECM).
    • Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
    • Wait for 10 seconds.
    • Reset the limp-home mechanism.
    • Clear the DTCs in all systems.
    • Carry out a drive cycle: Drive the car at varying engine loads and engine RPM for 5 minutes.
    • Evaluate the drive cycle: Check that the DTC has not recurred.
    If the trouble code has recurred, the ECM is probably at fault and will need replacement. Replace with known-good ECM and retest. If no DTCs are present, then the steps taken to rectify the fault were correct.
