DTC P0638 THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL RANGE/PERFORMANCE (BANK 1)

DTC P0638 THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL RANGE/PERFORMANCE (BANK 1)

OUTLINE OF DIAGNOSIS

Judge NG when the target opening angle and actual opening angle is mismatched or the current to motor is more than specified duty for specified time continuously.

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION


(1)

Motor

(3)

Engine control module (ECM)

(2)

Throttle position sensor

(4)

Drive circuit



ENABLE CONDITION

Secondary Parameters Enable Conditions
Ignition switch

ON

Normal operation of electric control throttle

ON



GENERAL DRIVING CYCLE

Always perform the diagnosis continuously when the electric control throttle is operating.

DIAGNOSTIC METHOD

Judge OK and clear NG when the malfunction criteria below are completed.

Judgment Value

Malfunction Criteria Threshold Value
Difference between target opening angle and actual opening angle

Less than 3.5°

Output duty to drive circuit

Less than 95%



Time Needed for Diagnosis:

Target opening angle and actual opening angle: 250 milliseconds (For NG) 2000 milliseconds (For OK)

Output duty to drive circuit: 2000 milliseconds


(1)

Difference between target opening angle and actual opening angle (°)

(2)

Target throttle opening angle (°)

(3)

NG area

Malfunction Indicator Light Illumination: Illuminates as soon as malfunction occurs.

DTC CLEAR CONDITION


When the OK idling cycle was completed 40 times in a row

When “Clear Memory” was performed (Only engine stopped)


MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT CLEAR CONDITION


When the OK driving cycle was completed 3 times in a row

When “Clear Memory” was performed (Only engine stopped)


FAIL SAFE

Stop the current to electric control throttle motor. (Fix the throttle opening angle to 6°.)

ECM OPERATION AT DTC SETTING

Memorize the freeze frame data. (For test mode $02)
