P2173

DTC P2173






GENERAL DESCRIPTION
ETC (Electronic Throttle Control Valve) is the device controlling amount of air to engine according to driver's intension. Different from the existing mechanical throttle valve which is composed of accelerator pedal and connecting wire cable, ETC consists of a motor, a throttle body and a throttle position sensor. Receiving input signals from electronic accelerator pedal module, PCM lets ETC motor control throttle valve. With ETC, cruise control system works without any additional device.

DTC DESCRIPTION
Comparing real intake air flow and the intake air flow calculated by ETS, under detecting condition, if the difference of air flow more than threshold is detected for more than 3.9 sec., PCM sets P2173. MIL (Malfunction Indication Lamp) turns on when the malfunction lasts till 1 driving cycle.

SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM

MONITOR SCANTOOL DATA
1. Connect Scantool to DLC.(Data Link Connector)
2. Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature.




3. Monitor "TPS1&2, MAPS,MAFS" parameters on Scantool

YES - Fault is intermittent caused by poor contact in Sensor`s and/or PCM`s connector or was repaired and PCM memory was not cleared. Thoroughly check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or damage. Repair or replace as necessary and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure

NO - Go to "System Inspection" procedure.

SYSTEM INSPECTION
1. Visual Inspection
a. Check the air hose between MAFS and throttle body is torn or installation.
b. Check deforamtion, crack or installation of throttle valve(body)
c. Has a problem been found?

YES - Substitute with a known-good Air hose or throttle body and check for proper operation.If the problem is corrected,replace air hose or throttle body and then go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.

NO - Substitute with a known-good PCM and check for proper operation. If the problem is corrected,replace PCM and then go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.

NOTE: There is a memory reset function on Scantool that can erase optional parts automatically detected and memorized by PCM.Before or after testing PCM on the vehicle, use this function to reuse the PCM on the others

Procedure of ETS Initialization
1. Erase the trouble codes on PCM
2. Turn the ignition key off and keep this condition until the main relay is turned off. (It will takes 10 seconds)
3. Turn ignition key on more than 1 second to record the throttle motor position on the EEPROM

VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR
After a repair, it is essential to verify that the fault has been corrected.
1. Monitor and record the Freeze Frame Data for the Diagnostic Trouble Code(DTC) which has been diagnosed.
2. Using a Scantool, Clear the DTCs
3. Operate the vehicle within conditions noted in the freeze frame data or enable conditions
4. Monitor that all readiness test have been verified as "Complete".
5. Are any DTCs present?

YES - Go to the applicable troubleshooting procedure.

NO - System is performing to specification at this time.
