P1238, P2119 ELECTRIC THROTTLE CONTROL ACTUATOR





Description
Electric throttle control actuator consists of throttle control motor, throttle position sensor, etc.
The throttle control motor is operated by the ECM and it opens and closes the throttle valve.
The throttle position sensor detects the throttle valve position, and sends the voltage signal to the ECM. The
ECM judges the current opening angle of the throttle valve from this signal and opens/closes the throttle valve in response to driving conditions via the throttle control motor.
