D : DTC P1251, P1658, P1631, P1657

D1 : CHECK THE THROTTLE MOTOR RELAY
1. Turn the ignition switch to the RUN position.

Does the throttle relay make an audible click?

Yes

Goto D2

No
Goto D7

D2 : CHECK THE PCM POWER SUPPLY FROM THE THROTTLE MOTOR RELAY
1. Measure the voltage between the throttle motor relay connector FH 32D pin 5 (NR) and ground.

Is the voltage greater than 10 volts?

Yes

Goto D3

No
Goto D4

D3 : CHECK CONTINUITY OF THE PCM POWER SUPPLY WIRE FROM THE THROTTLE MOTOR RELAY
1. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
2. Disconnect the PCM electrical connector PI 1 and remove the throttle motor relay.
3. Measure the resistance between the throttle motor relay electrical connector FH 32D pin 5 (NR) and the PCM electrical connector PI 1 pin 134 (GU).

Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?

Yes

DIAGNOSE the electronic engine control system. Electronic Engine Controls

No
REPAIR the PCM power supply wire from the throttle motor relay. CLEAR the DTC. TEST the system for normal operation.

D4 : CHECK FUSE 18 IN THE FRONT POWER DISTRIBUTION BOX (FPDB).
1. Check the fuse.

Is the fuse OK?

Yes

Goto D5

No
Goto D6

D5 : CHECK THE THROTTLE MOTOR RELAY POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT
1. Remove the throttle motor relay.
2. Measure the voltage between the throttle motor relay connector FH 32D pin 3 (YR) and ground.

Is the voltage less than 10 volts?

Yes

REPAIR the throttle motor relay power supply circuit. CLEAR the DTC. TEST the system for normal operation.

No
Install a new throttle motor relay. CLEAR the DTC. TEST the system for normal operation.

D6 : CHECK FUSE 18 FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
1. Measure the resistance between fuse 18 and ground.

Is the resistance greater than 10,000 ohms?

Yes

Install a new fuse. CLEAR the DTC. TEST the system for normal operation.

No
REPAIR short to ground between engine compartment fuse box and the throttle motor relay. Install a new fuse. CLEAR the DTC. TEST the system for normal operation.

D7 : CHECK THE POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT TO THE THROTTLE MOTOR RELAY COIL
1. Turn the ignition switch to the RUN position.
2. Measure the voltage between the throttle motor relay connector FH 32D pin 1 (GR) and ground.

Is the voltage greater than 10 volts?

Yes

Goto D8

No
REPAIR the throttle motor relay coil power supply circuit from the engine compartment fuse box. CLEAR the DTC. TEST the system for normal operation.

D8 : CHECK CONTINUITY OF THE THROTTLE MOTOR RELAY COIL
1. Remove the throttle motor relay (if not already removed).
2. Measure the resistance between terminal 1 and terminal 2 of the throttle motor relay.

Is the resistance between 70 and 90 ohms?

Yes
Goto D9


No
Install a new throttle motor relay. CLEAR the DTC. TEST the system for normal operation.

D9 : CHECK CONTINUITY OF THE THROTTLE MOTOR RELAY GROUND CIRCUIT
1. Disconnect the PCM electrical connector PI 1.
2. Measure the resistance between the throttle motor relay electrical connector FH 32D pin 2 (GR) and the PCM electrical connector PI 1 pin 52 (GR).

Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?

Yes

DIAGNOSE the electronic engine control system. Electronic Engine Controls

No
REPAIR the throttle motor relay ground circuit from the PCM to the engine compartment fuse box. CLEAR the DTC. TEST the system for normal operation.
