DTC 45 46 Main Throttle Position Sensor Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
This circuit is not directly related to the TRAC control, but as it has an influence on TRAC control when trouble
occurs in this circuit, it is used to switch off the TRAC system as a fail safe function.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT: The main throttle position sensor signal is transmitted to the TRAC ECU from ECM, so if an error occurs
at the engine side, the TRAC ECU also detects it.
If diagnostic trouble code No.41 is being output for the engine troubleshoot the engine first.
Remove TRAC ECU with connectors still con-
nected.
Disconnect the vacuum hose from the throttle
opener, and apply the vacuum to the throttle open-
er.
Is diagnostic trouble code output for the engine?
Turn ignition switch ON.
Measure voltage between terminal IDL1 of TRAC ECU
and body ground, when the main throttle valve is fully clo-
sed and fully open.
