Is there battery voltage for about 2 seconds?

YES -Substitute a known-good throttle actuator control module (see THROTTLE ACTUATOR
CONTROL MODULE REPLACEMENT ), then go to step 50 and recheck. If DTC U0107 is not
indicated, replace the original throttle actuator control module (see THROTTLE ACTUATOR
CONTROL MODULE REPLACEMENT ), then go to step 50.

NO -Go to step 22.

22. Turn the ignition switch OFF.

Is there battery voltage?

YES -Go to step 27.

NO -Repair open in the wire between the throttle actuator control module relay and PGM-FI main relay 1
(FI MAIN), then go to step 50.

27. Turn the ignition switch OFF.

28. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.

29. Disconnect ECM/PCM connector D (17P).

30. Check for continuity between ECM/PCM connector terminal D15 and throttle actuator control module

relay 4P connector terminal No. 3.
