Problem verification:

Problem verification
?1.
Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

?2.
Clear the DTC with the HDS.


?3.
Check the parameter(s) below with the HDS.

Do the current condition(s) match the threshold?

     
YES
     
     
     
The failure is duplicated. Go to step 2.
     
NO
     
     
     
Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the throttle body and the PCM. If the freeze data/on-board snapshot of this DTC is recorded, try to reproduce the failure under the same conditions with the freeze data/on-board snapshot.?
2.
Determine possible failure area (SG3 line, others):

Determine possible failure area (SG3 line, others)
?1.
Check for Pending or Confirmed DTCs with the HDS.

P0123 TP Sensor A Circuit High Voltage
      
P0223 TP Sensor B Circuit High Voltage
     

Are DTC P0123 and P0223 indicated at the same time?

     
YES
     
     
     
Go to step 5.
     
NO
     
     
     
Go to step 3.
3.
Determine possible failure area (THL2 line, throttle body):

Determine possible failure area (THL2 line, throttle body)
?1.
Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

?2.
Disconnect the following connector.
Throttle body 6P connector

?3.
Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

?4.
Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.
Test condition
Vehicle ON mode
 
Throttle body 6P connector: disconnected
Test point 1
Throttle body 6P connector No. 4
Test point 2
Body ground


Is there about 5.0 V?

     
YES
     
     
     
     
NO
     
     
     
Go to step 4.
4.
Open wire check (THL2 line):

Open wire check (THL2 line)
?1.
Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

?2.
Jump the SCS line with the HDS.


?3.
Disconnect the following connector.
PCM connector B (51P)

?4.
Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.
Test condition
Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
 
Throttle body 6P connector: disconnected
 
PCM connector B (51P): disconnected
Test point 1
Throttle body 6P connector No. 4
Test point 2
PCM connector B (51P) No. 47


Is there continuity?

     
YES
     
     
     
The THL2 wire is OK. Update the PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good PCM, then recheck. If DTC P0223 goes away and the PCM was updated, troubleshooting is complete. If DTC P0223 goes away and the PCM was substituted, replace the original PCM.?
     
NO
     
     
     
Repair an open in the THL2 wire between the PCM (B47) and the throttle body.?
5.
Open wire check (SG3 line):

Open wire check (SG3 line)
?1.
Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

?2.
Jump the SCS line with the HDS.


?3.
Disconnect the following connectors.
PCM connector B (51P)
Throttle body 6P connector

?4.
Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.
Test condition
Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
 
PCM connector B (51P): disconnected
 
Throttle body 6P connector: disconnected
Test point 1
Throttle body 6P connector No. 3
Test point 2
PCM connector B (51P) No. 49


Is there continuity?

     
YES
     
     
     
The SG3 wire is OK. Update the PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good PCM, then recheck. If DTC P0223 goes away and the PCM was updated, troubleshooting is complete. If DTC P0223 goes away and the PCM was substituted, replace the original PCM.?
     
NO
     
     
     
Repair an open in the SG3 wire between the PCM (B49) and the throttle body.?
