M20D-FKS ENGINE CONTROL SFI SYSTEM P210018 Throttle Actuator "A" Control Motor Circuit Current Below Threshold P210019 Throttle Actuator "A" Control Motor Circuit Current Above Threshold
DESCRIPTION
The throttle actuator is operated by the ECM and opens and closes the throttle valve using gears.
The opening angle of the throttle valve is detected by the throttle position sensor, which is mounted on the throttle body with motor assembly. The throttle position sensor provides feedback to the ECM. This feedback allows the ECM to appropriately control the throttle actuator and monitor the throttle opening angle as the ECM responds to driver inputs.

| P210018 | Throttle Actuator "A" Control Motor Circuit Current Below Threshold | Both of the following conditions are met for 2 seconds or more (1 trip detection logic):
·
The throttle actuator drive duty cycle is 80% or higher. ·
The throttle actuator current is less than 0.5 A. |

MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECM monitors the electrical current through the electronic actuator, and detects malfunctions and open circuits in the throttle actuator based on this value. If the current is outside the standard range, the ECM determines that there is a malfunction in the throttle actuator. In addition, if the throttle valve does not operate properly (for example, it is stuck open), the ECM will determine there is a malfunction, illuminate the MIL and store a DTC.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN
- HINT:
- ·
After repair has been completed, clear the DTC and then check that the vehicle has returned to normal by performing the following All Readiness check procedure.
·When clearing the permanent DTCs, refer to the "CLEAR PERMANENT DTC" procedure.
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON.
Turn the GTS on.
Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
Turn the ignition switch to ON [A].
Turn the GTS on.
Start the engine.
With the vehicle stationary, fully depress the accelerator pedal and quickly release it [B].
Check that 16 seconds or more have elapsed since the accelerator pedal was first depressed.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes [C].
Read the pending DTCs.
- HINT:
- ·
If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
·If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness.
Input the DTC: P210018 or P210019.
Check the DTC judgment result.
| GTS Display | Description |
|---|---|
| NORMAL | ·
DTC judgment completed ·
System normal |
| ABNORMAL | ·
DTC judgment completed ·
System abnormal |
| INCOMPLETE | ·
DTC judgment not completed ·
Perform driving pattern after confirming DTC enabling conditions |
- HINT:
- ·
If the judgment result is NORMAL, the system is normal.
·If the judgment result is ABNORMAL, the system is malfunctioning.
·If the judgment result is INCOMPLETE, perform steps [B] through [C] again.
·[A] to [C]: Normal judgment procedure.
The normal judgment procedure is used to complete DTC judgment and also used when clearing permanent DTCs.
·When clearing the permanent DTCs, do not disconnect the cable from the battery terminal or attempt to clear the DTCs during this procedure, as doing so will clear the universal trip and normal judgment histories.
FAIL-SAFE
When these DTCs are stored, the ECM enters fail-safe mode. During fail-safe mode, the ECM cuts the current to the throttle actuator, and the throttle valve is returned to a 7.5° throttle valve opening angle by the return spring. The ECM then adjusts the engine output by controlling the fuel injection (intermittent fuel-cut) and ignition timing, in accordance with the accelerator pedal opening angle, to allow the vehicle to continue running at a minimal speed. If the accelerator pedal is depressed firmly and gently, the vehicle can be driven slowly.
Fail-safe mode continues until a pass condition is detected, and the ignition switch is turned off.
WIRING DIAGRAM
CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
- HINT:
- ·
The throttle actuator current (Throttle Motor Current) and the throttle actuator duty ratio (Throttle Motor Duty Ratio (Open) / Throttle Motor Duty Ratio (Close)) can be read using the GTS. However, the ECM shuts off the throttle actuator current when the electronic throttle control system malfunctions.
·Read Freeze Frame Data using the GTS. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as Freeze Frame Data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, Freeze Frame Data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
