      If any DTCs other than P2119 are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.

    B → See step   9 

    A: Go to next step 

  2. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (THROTTLE POSITION) 
    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
    3. Turn the Techstream on.
    4. Clear DTCs. Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR [09/2012 - ] .
    5. Turn the engine switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
    6. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
    7. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Data List / Gas Throttle / Throttle Position No.1 and Throttle Position Command.
    8. Check the values displayed on the Techstream while fully depressing and releasing the accelerator pedal quickly.
      RESULT

      Result Proceed to
      Throttle Position No.1 does not change A
      Throttle Position No.1 changes even a little B

      HINT: 

      When a DTC is output, the system changes to fail-safe mode. Therefore, only use the data up until the time the DTC is stored for confirmation.

    B → See step   4 

    A: Go to next step 

  3. INSPECT THROTTLE BODY (RESISTANCE OF THROTTLE ACTUATOR) 
    1. Disconnect the E21 throttle body connector.

    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      2 (M+) - 1 (M-) 20°C (68°F) 0.3 to 100 Ω

    NG → See step   7 

    OK: Go to next step 

  4. INSPECT THROTTLE BODY (VISUALLY CHECK THROTTLE VALVE) 
    1. Check for contamination between the throttle valve and housing. If necessary, clean the throttle body. Also, check that the throttle valve moves smoothly.

      OK

      Throttle valve is not contaminated with foreign objects and moves smoothly.

    NG → See step   7 

    OK: Go to next step 

  5. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (THROTTLE POSITION) 
    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
    3. Turn the Techstream on.
    4. Clear DTCs. Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR [09/2012 - ] .

      As the DTC was stored due to a change in the contact resistance of the connector, repair or replace the wire harness or connector. Refer to ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT INSPECTION PROCEDURE [09/2012 - ] .

    B → See step   8 

    A: Go to next step 

  6. REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (ECM - THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY)
