Circuit Description

The Throttle Actuator Control (TAC) motor is a DC motor that is part of the throttle body assembly. The TAC motor drives the throttle valve. The Engine Control Module (ECM) controls the TAC motor based on throttle position sensor input. The idle speed is controlled by the ECM based on various inputs. The ECM commands the TAC motor to open or close the throttle valve in order to maintain the desired idle speed. If the ECM detects the actual idle speed and the desired idle speed are not within a predetermined amount, this DTC sets.
