HINT:
This is the purpose of the ºthrottle position sensorº.
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Refer to DTC P0120 on page 05-102.
DTC No.DTC Detection ConditionTrouble Area
P0121
Condition (a) continues for 2.0 seconds:
(a) Difference between VTA1 and VTA2 deviates from thresh-
old
Throttle position sensor
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECM uses the throttle position sensor to monitor the throttle valve opening angle.
This sensor includes 2 signals: VTA1 and VTA2. VTA1 is used to detect the throttle opening angle and VTA2
is used to detect malfunctions in VTA1. There are several checks that the ECM performs to confirm proper
operation of the throttle position sensor and VTA1.
There is a specific voltage difference between VTA1 and VTA2 for each throttle opening angle.
If the voltage output difference between the VTA1 and VTA2 deviates from the normal operating range, the
ECM interprets this as a malfunction of the throttle position sensor. The ECM will turn on the MIL and will
set a DTC.
FAIL-SAFE
If the Electronic Throttle Control System (ETCS) has a malfunction, the ECM cuts off current to the throttle
control motor. The throttle control valve returns to a predetermined opening angle (approximately 16) by
the force of the return spring. The ECM then adjusts the engine output by controlling the fuel injection (inter-
mittent fuel-cut) and ignition timing in accordance with the accelerator pedal opening angle to enable the
vehicle to continue at a minimal speed.
If the accelerator pedal is depressed firmly and slowly, the vehicle can be driven slowly.
If a ºpassº condition is detected and then the ignition switch is turned OFF, the fail-safe operation will stop
and the system will return to normal condition.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
Read freeze frame data using the hand-held tester or the OBD II scan tool. Freeze frame data records the
engine conditions when a malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help deter-
mine if the vehicle was running or stopped, 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.

If ECT and IAT greater than -8.34°C (17°F) at engine start; 2
minutes or more after starting engine, ECT sensor value is
20°C (68°F) or less (2 trip detection logic)
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor is used to monitor the temperature of the engine coolant.
The resistance of the sensor varies with the actual coolant temperature. The ECM applies a voltage to the
sensor and the varying resistance of the sensor causes the signal voltage to vary. The ECM monitors the
ECT signal voltage after engine start-up.
If, after sufficient time has passed, the sensor still reports that the
engine is not warm enough for closed-loop fuel control, the ECM interprets this as a fault in the sensor or
cooling system and sets a DTC.
Example:
The ECT is 0C (32F) at engine start. After 5 minutes running time, the ECT sensor still indicates that the
engine is not warm enough to begin active feedback control of the air-fuel ratio. The ECM interprets this as
a fault in the sensor or cooling system and sets a DTC.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
If DTCs P0115, P0116, P0117, P0118 and P0125 are output simultaneously, engine coolant tempera-
ture sensor circuit may be open or short. Perform the troubleshooting of DTC P0115, P0117 or P0118
first.
Read freeze frame data using the hand-held tester or the OBD II scan tool. Freeze frame data records
the engine conditions when a malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can
help determine if the vehicle was running or stopped, 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.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECM estimates the coolant temperature based on starting temperature, engine loads, and engine
speeds. The ECM then compares the estimated temperature with the actual ECT. When the estimated cool-
ant temperature reaches 75C (167F), the ECM checks the actual ECT. If the actual ECT is less than 75C
(167F), the ECM will interpret this as a fault in the thermostat or the engine cooling system and set a DTC.
