Circuit Description

This circuit monitors the Delivered Trottle Position Input for proper operation.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

DTC C0266 can set anytime the ignition is in the RUN position and the EBCM does not recieve a Delivered Throttle Position Input.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

    • The TCS is disabled
    • The traction control indicator is turned on

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

    • The condition for the DTC is no longer present and the scan tool clear DTC function is used
    • 100 ignition cycles have passed with no DTCs detected

Diagnostic Aids

    • Thoroughly inspect the wiring and the connectors. Failure to carefully and fully inspect the wiring and the connectors can result in misdiagnosis. Misdiagnosis may cause replacement of parts without repairing the malfunction.
    • If an intermittent malfunction exists, refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in Electrical Diagnosis.
