Is there continuity?

YES -Substitute a known-good throttle actuator control module (see THROTTLE ACTUATOR
CONTROL MODULE REPLACEMENT ), then go to step 20 and recheck. If DTC P0123 is not
indicated, replace the original throttle actuator control module (see THROTTLE ACTUATOR
CONTROL MODULE REPLACEMENT ), then go to step 20. If DTC P0123 is indicated, go to step
18.

NO -Repair open in the wire between the throttle body and the throttle actuator control module (TPSA
line), then go to step 20.

13. Turn the ignition switch OFF.

14. Disconnect the throttle body 6P connector.

15. Disconnect the throttle actuator control module 16P connector (see THROTTLE ACTUATOR

CONTROL MODULE REPLACEMENT ).

19. Replace the throttle body (see THROTTLE BODY REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ).

20. Reconnect all connectors.

21. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).

22. Reset the ECM/PCM with the HDS.

23. Do the ECM/PCM idle learn procedure (see ECM/PCM IDLE LEARN PROCEDURE ).

24. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.

Is DTC P0123 indicated?

YES -Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the throttle body and the throttle actuator control
module, then go to step 1.
