Faulty Signal

Faulty signal

Checking the component and wiring




- Ignition off
- Check the throttle unit and engine control module (ECM) connectors. Check for contact resistance and oxidation.
Check the signal cable (position sensor 1) between engine control module (ECM) terminal #A96 (#B36) and throttle unit terminal #6 (wiring side). Check for an open-circuit.
Check the signal cable (position sensor 2) between engine control module (ECM) terminal #A72 (#B12) and throttle unit terminal #4 (cable harness side). Check for an open-circuit.

Hint: With the ignition on, the power supply to the throttle unit position sensor must be approximately 5 V measured between throttle unit connector terminals #3 and #5 (wiring side).

If no faults are found and the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) recurs, try replacing the throttle unit.
Remedy as necessary.

Hint: After carrying out the repair, check that the fault has been remedied.








- Ignition off
- Reinstall the connectors, components etc.
- Ignition on.
Activate reading off the position of the throttle.
Check that both sensors indicate values within the permitted range at different deployments.





Are these values within their permitted ranges?
