EASED POSITION LEARNING
DescriptionINFOID:0000000006217746
Accelerator Pedal Released Position Learning is a function of ECM to learn the fully released position of the
accelerator pedal by monitoring the accelerator pedal pos ition sensor output signal. It must be performed each
time the harness connector of the accelerator pedal position sensor or ECM is disconnected.
Work ProcedureINFOID:0000000006217747
1.START
1. Check that accelerator pedal is fully released.
2. Turn ignition switch ON and wait at least 2 seconds.
3. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
4. Turn ignition switch ON and wait at least 2 seconds.
5. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.

DescriptionINFOID:0000000006217748
Throttle Valve Closed Position Learning is a function of ECM to learn the fully closed position of the throttle
valve by monitoring the throttle position sensor output signal. It must be performed each time the harness con-
nector of the electric throttle control actuator or ECM is disconnected or elec tric throttle control actuator inside
is cleaned.
Work ProcedureINFOID:0000000006217749
1.START
WITH CONSULT-III
1. Turn ignition switch ON.
2. Select “CLSD THL POS LEARN” in “WORK SUPPORT” mode.
3. Follow the instructions on the CONSULT-III display.
4. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
Check that throttle valve moves during the above 10 seconds by confirming the operating sound.
WITHOUT CONSULT-III
1. Start the engine.
NOTE:
Engine coolant temperature is 25 °C (77 °F) or less before engine starts.
2. Warm up the engine. NOTE:
Raise engine coolant temperature until it reaches 65 °C (149 °F) or more.
3. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds. Check that throttle valve moves during the above 10 seconds by confirming the operating sound.
