DTC47, 48Sub±Throttle Position Sensor Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
This sensor detects the opening angle of the sub±throttle valve and sends the appropriate signals to the ECU.
If a trouble signal is input, the ECU prohibits TRAC control.

When any of the following (1) through (3) is detected:
(1) Deviation of 5 steps or more to the closedside of the idle step during sub±throttleinitial check.
(2) Voltage at terminal IDL2 switch is OFF evenafter sub±throttle is driven to fully closedposition during
sub±throttle initial check 4.
(3) Voltage at terminal VSH is 1.45 V or morefor at least 0.15 sec. while idle switch is ON.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1Is diagnostic trouble code output for the engine?
Perform diagnostic trouble code check on page EG±523 or EG±305 .
Repair circuit indicated by the code output.
2Check voltage between terminal VSH or TRAC ECU and body ground.
C
OK
P1. Remove TRAC ECU with connectors still con-
nected.
2. Remove intake air duct.
3. Disconnect step motor connector.
4. Turn ignition switch on.
Measure voltage between terminal VSH or TRAC ECU
and body ground, when the sub±throttle valve is turned
from fully opened position to fully closed position.
In addition, as the sub±throttle valve is turned, the
voltage should increase gradually w ith out interrup-
tion.
Go to step
.
3Check for open and short in harness and connector between terminal VSH of TRAC ECU and
terminal VTO2 of ECM (See page IN±33).
Repair or replace harness or connector.
