DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE PROCEDURES

13Ac-537

STEP 8. Using scan tool MB991502, read the diagnostic
trouble code (DTC).
(1) Connect scan tool MB991502 to the data link connector.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) After the DTC has been deleted, read the DTC again.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK"(OFF) position.
Q: Is DTC P0638 set?

YES : Retry the troubleshooting.
NO : The inspection is complete.

P0642 Throttle Position Sensor Power Supply

.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

• PCM checks the TPS power voltage for abnormal

conditions.

.

DTC SET CONDITIONS

Check Conditions

• Battery positive voltage is higher than 6.3 volts.

Judgement Criteria

• TPS power voltage should be 4.1 volts or less for

0.5 seconds.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (The most likely
causes for this code to be set are:)

• PCM failed.

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tool:

• MB991502: Scan Tool (MUT-II)

STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991502, read the diagnostic
trouble code (DTC).

CAUTION

To prevent damage to scan tool MB991502, always turn the
ignition switch to the "LOCK"(OFF) position before con-
necting or disconnecting scan tool MB991502.
(1) Connect scan tool MB991502 to the data link connector.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) After the DTC has been deleted, read the DTC again.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK"(OFF) position.
Q: Is DTC P0642 set?

YES : Replace the PCM.
NO : It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent.

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE PROCEDURES

.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

• Battery positive voltage is applied to the throttle

actuator control motor relay terminal (terminal
No. 3).

• Battery positive voltage is applied to the throttle

actuator control motor relay terminal (terminal
No. 4) from the MFI relay (terminal No. 1).

• PCM (terminal No. 15) applies current to the

throttle actuator control motor relay coil by turning
ON the power transistor in the unit in order to
turn the relay ON.

• When the throttle actuator control motor relay

turns ON, battery positive voltage is supplied by
the throttle actuator control motor relay (terminal
No. 1) to the PCM (terminal No. 132).

.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

• When the ignition switch ON signal is input into

the PCM, the PCM turns ON the throttle actuator
control motor relay.

.

DTC SET CONDITIONS

Check Condition

• Ignition switch "ON" position.

Judgement Criteria

• The power line voltage of the electronic controlled

throttle system should be 4.9 volts or less for 0.8
seconds.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (The most likely
causes for this code to be set are:)

• Throttle actuator control motor relay failed or mal-

adjusted.

• Open or shorted throttle actuator control motor

relay circuit, or loose connector.

• PCM failed.

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tool:

• MB991502: Scan Tool (MUT-II)

STEP 1. Check connector B-23X at throttle actuator control
motor relay for damage.
Q: Is the connector in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 2.
NO : Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness

Connector Inspection

P.00E-2

. Then go to Step 14.
