DESCRIPTION
The idle speed is controlled by the Electronic Throttle Control System (ETCS). The ETCS is comprised of a throttle actuator, which operates the throttle valve, and a throttle position sensor, which detects the opening amount of the throttle valve. The ECM controls the throttle actuator to adjust the throttle valve opening amount so that the idle speed is maintained at the target idle speed.
DTC No. | Detection Item | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area | MIL | Note |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
P210900 | Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor "A" Minimum Stop Performance | The Throttle Air Flow F/B Value* approaches its limit even though the actual intake air amount during idling is within the normal range (up to 1.5 times the normal amount) (5 trip detection logic). *: Data List item | Throttle body with motor assembly | - | SAE: P2109 |

MONITOR DESCRIPTION
If there are deposits in the throttle valve, a decrease in the ISC flow rate may cause engine stall or unstable idling. Therefore, the necessary ISC flow rate for idling is maintained using the throttle air flow feedback. The ECM stores this DTC if the Throttle Air Flow F/B Value approaches its limit. The ECM begins monitoring for the DTC detection conditions when the following preconditions are met:

PROCEDURE
1. | CHECK ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P210900) |
(a) Read the DTCs.
Powertrain > Engine > Trouble Codes Result | Proceed to |
---|---|
P210900 is output | A |
P210900 and other DTCs are output | B |
HINT:
If any DTCs other than P210900 are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.
B | GO TO DTC CHART |
|
2. | READ FREEZE FRAME DATA (THROTTLE AIR FLOW F/B VALUE) |
(a) Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
(c) Turn the GTS on.
(d) Using the GTS, check "Throttle Air Flow F/B Value" in the Freeze Frame Data.

HINT:
Be sure to confirm "Throttle Air Flow F/B Value" in the Freeze Frame Data as it is used when confirming whether the malfunction has been successfully repaired.

3. | INSPECT THROTTLE BODY WITH MOTOR ASSEMBLY |
(a) Check for foreign matter between the throttle valve and the housing.

4. | REMOVE FOREIGN MATTER (CLEAN THROTTLE BODY WITH MOTOR ASSEMBLY) |
(a) Clean off any deposits inside of the throttle body with motor assembly.

*c | When valve fully opened | *d | Do not directly apply cleaner |
*e | Deposits | - | - |
(1) Push open the throttle valve and wipe off any deposits from the valve and bore using a cloth soaked in non-residue solvent.

5. | READ VALUE USING GTS (THROTTLE AIR FLOW F/B VALUE) |
(a) Perform "Inspection After Repair" after cleaning the throttle body with motor assembly.
Click here
(b) Enter the following menus.
Powertrain > Engine > Data List Tester Display |
---|
Throttle Air Flow F/B Value |
(c) According to the display on the GTS, read the Data List.
OK:
The value is half of "Throttle Air Flow F/B Value" recorded in the Freeze Frame Data or less.

The front and side supplemental restraint systems (SRS) include different types of air bags. Please verify the different types of air bags which are equipped on your vehicle by locating the “SRS AIRBAG” location indicators. These indicators are visible in the area where the air bags are installed.
The air bags are installed in the following locations:
The steering wheel hub (driver air bag) The front passenger dashboard (front passenger air bag) The outboard sides of the front seatbacks (side air bags) The front and rear window pillars, and the roof edge along both sides (curtain air bags)
