2) Observe the Intake Throttle Valve Position Sensor parameter on the scan tool. Is the Intake Throttle Valve Position Sensor parameter more than or equal to the specified value?

Value: 4.5 V

Yes

=>Go to Intake throttle valve harness connector inspection.

No

=>Go to Inspection for open circuit and short circuit in intake throttle position sensor signal circuit.

6. Inspection for open circuit in intake throttle position sensor 5 V reference circuit

1) Inspect the position sensor 5 V reference circuit between the ECM (pin 29 of E3) and the intake throttle valve (pin 2 of E25) for an open circuit or high resistance. Is the result normal?

Refer to "RHD Engine Control (4JJ3 with DPD)" in the ETM (wiring diagram). (Open using the ETM viewer.).

Refer to "LHD Engine Control (4JJ3 with DPD)" in the ETM (wiring diagram). (Open using the ETM viewer.).

Yes

=>Go to ECM harness connector inspection.

No

Repair the circuit as necessary.

=>Go to Repair verification.

7. Inspection for open circuit and short circuit in intake throttle position sensor signal circuit

1) Inspect the position sensor signal circuit between the ECM (pin 25 of E2) and the intake throttle valve (pin 4 of E25) for the following. Is the result normal?

Refer to "RHD Engine Control (4JJ3 with DPD)" in the ETM (wiring diagram). (Open using the ETM viewer.).

Refer to "LHD Engine Control (4JJ3 with DPD)" in the ETM (wiring diagram). (Open using the ETM viewer.).

Yes

=>Go to ECM harness connector inspection.

No

Repair the circuit as necessary.

=>Go to Repair verification.

8. Intake throttle valve harness connector inspection

1) Inspect for poor connections at the intake throttle valve harness connector (pins 2 and 4 of E25). Is the connection status normal?

Refer to "RHD Engine Control (4JJ3 with DPD)" in the ETM (wiring diagram). (Open using the ETM viewer.).

Refer to "LHD Engine Control (4JJ3 with DPD)" in the ETM (wiring diagram). (Open using the ETM viewer.).

Yes
