- Open throttle slowly.
- Specified value: Infinity ohms
If resistance is NOT OK:
- Disconnect 8-pin harness connector for throttle valve control module -J338-.
- Check wiring for open circuit between ECM/test box and 8-pin harness connector.
- Connector terminal 3 to ECM/test box socket 69
- Connector terminal 7 to ECM/test box socket 67
- Specified value: max. 1.5 ohms
- Check wiring for short circuit between ECM/test box and 8-pin harness connector.
- Connector terminal 7 to ECM/test box socket 69
- Specified value: Infinity ohms
- Reconnect throttle valve control module harness connector.
If wiring is OK:
- Replace throttle valve control module -J338-.
