(b) Apply a light coat of spindle oil or gasoline to 2 new O±
rings and install them to each injector.
(c) Apply a light coat of spindle oil or gasoline on the place
where a delivery pipe touches an O±ring of the injector.
(d) While turning the injector clockwise and counterclock-
wise, push it to the delivery pipe. Install the 6 injectors.
(e) Position the injector connector outward.
(f) Place the 3 spacers in position on the intake manifold.
(g) Apply a light coat of spindle oil or gasoline on the place
where a intake manifold touches an O±ring of the injector.

ON±VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. REMOVE ENGINE COVER
Remove the 4 nuts and engine cover.
2. INSPECT SYSTEM OPERATION
(a) Check that the throttle linkage moves smoothly.
(b) Inspect the throttle control motor for operating sound.
(1) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(2) When turning the accelerator pedal position sensor
lever, check the running sound of the motor. Also,
check that there is no friction sound.
If operation is not as specified, check the throttle control motor,
wiring and ECM.
(c) Inspect the throttle position sensor and accelerator pedal
position sensor function.
(1) Connect the LEXUS hand±held tester to the DLC3.
(2) When turning the accelerator pedal position sensor
lever to the full±open position, check that the
throttle valve opening percentage (THROTTLE
POS) of the CURRENT DATA showns the standard
value.
Throttle valve opening percentage: 60 % or more
If operation is not as specified, check that the throttle position
sensor, accelerator pedal position sensor, wiring and ECM.

sensor. (See page SF±37)
(c) Reconnect the throttle position sensor connector.
5. INSPECT ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SEN-
SOR
(a) Disconnect the accelerator pedal position sensor con-
nector.
(b) Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between ter-
minals VC and E2.
Resistance: 1.2 ± 3.2 kW at 20°C (68°F)
If the resistance is not as specified, replace the accelerator ped-
al position sensor. (See page SF±37)

REPLACEMENT
NOTICE:

To prevent deterioration, do not shock the throttle
position sensor and accelerator pedal position sen-
sor.

Mixing of the foreign objects may cause the gear lock-
ing, so thoroughly check that there is no stuck of any
foreign objects and clean up if any.
1. REPLACE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR
(a) Remove the 2 set screws and throttle position sensor.
(b) Reinstall the throttle position sensor.
(1) Check that the throttle valve is under the condition
of the opener opening angle (about 3.5°).
(2) Install the sensor to the place where is at 30° ro-
tated to the right from the specified installation posi-
tion.
(3) Gradually turn sensor counterclockwise until it
touches the throttle valve shaft and temporarily
torque the 2 set screws.
(c) Adjust the throttle position sensor.
(1) Connect the throttle position sensor connector.
NOTICE:
At this time, do not connect the throttle control motor con-
nector.
(2) Connect the LEXUS hand±held tester or OBDII
scan tool to the DLC3.
(3) Turn the ignition switch ON.
NOTICE:
After turning the ignition switch ON, do not depress the ac-
celerator pedal.
(4) While reading the value of the throttle valve opening
percentage (THROTTLE POS) of the CURRENT
DATA, turn the throttle position sensor slowly to left
and set the sensor at the center value of the stan-
dard value, and then torque the screws.
Torque: 1.7 N´m (17.5 kgf´cm, 15 in.´lbf)
Standard throttle valve opening percentage:

NOTICE:
At the time of tightening the screw, as the sensor itself
tends to turn causing to slanting, check that it is within the
standard value after having finished the torque.
(5) Fully close the throttle valve with a screwdriver and
check that the value of the throttle valve opening
percentage (THROTTLE POS) of the CURRENT
DATA stays with the standard value.
Standard throttle valve opening percentage:
10 ± 14 %
If the throttle valve opening percentage is not as specified, re-
peat steps (4) through (5).
(6) Paint the sensor set screws.
(7) Turn the ignition switch OFF.
(8) Disconnect the LEXUS hand±held tester or OBDII
scan tool from the DLC3.
(9) Disconnect the throttle position sensor connector.
2. REPLACE THROTTLE CONTROL MOTOR
(a) Remove the throttle position sensor.
(b) Remove the throttle control motor.
(1) Disconnect the connector from the bracket.
(2) Remove the 5 screws, bracket and cover.
(3) Remove the 3 screws and throttle control motor.
(c) Reinstall the throttle control motor.
(1) Apply the grease thinly on the whole surface of the
gear teeth.
NOTICE:
Do not apply the grease other than specified because
grease has been already applied to the component to be re-
placed.
(2) Align the protrusions of the motor with the position-
ing pin holes of the throttle body.
(3) Rotate the motor to the direction marked with an ar-
row and temporarily install the set screw ºAº under
the condition that there is no wobbles in the motor
and the positioning pin.
(4) Tighten the 3 set screws.
