Note:
1. Ensure that the cable plug
of the throttle body is inserted;
2. The fault code is cleared;
3. Appropriate tightness of
throttle cable. (mechanical
and semi- electronic);
Remind:Install by trained
professionals.
The above two methods are to eliminate the memory of THE ECU. If the idle speed is still high at this time, the ECU can return to normal speed through 1 to 2 days of self-learning.
3. Common throttle body faults and causes
(1) Throttle body cannot open: accelerator pedal position sensor, throttle body motor, ECU,
Power supply and circuit, throttle body internal stuck;
(2) Insufficient throttle body opening: throttle body stuck, accelerator pedal position sensor, throttle body position sensor, safety mode;
(3) Idle low or high: throttle body stuck, excessive carbon accumulation in throttle body and inlet, leakage in intake pipe and various valve connections, initialization or idle learning not set;
4. Quality problems and phenomena of throttle body itself
(1) Incorrect intake volume of throttle body:
Full open state Fully closed state Too much carbon state
(2) Throttle body position sensor output signal error:
Voltage division ratio
New TPS1 TPS2
At UMA(lower mechanical stop) 10%±4% 90%±4%
At OMA(upper mechanical stop) 93%±4% 7%±4%
After lifetime
At UMA(lower mechanical stop) 10%±5% 90%±5%
At OMA(upper mechanical stop) 93%±5% 7%±5%
The signal from the sender is read out in percent on theassociated measured valve block.Hence,100%=5volts.
(3) The power line is not connected properly:
5.Impact of other related accessories
In addition to the product quality problems of the throttle body itself, the failure of other related accessories will also affect the normal use or failure of the throttle body.
