Circuit Description
The throttle position signal is used by the ASM to control the actual throttle position that is requested by the EBCM.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | DTC C0237 will set if the ASM is not receiving a reference voltage. |
| • | DTC C0237 will set if the reference signal is outside of a specified range. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | A malfunction DTC is stored. |
| • | The TCS is disabled. |
| • | The amber TCS indicator will turn on. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | Condition for DTC is no longer present and scan tool clear DTC function is used. |
| • | 100 ignition cycles have passed with no DTCs detected. |
Diagnostic Aids
| • | It is very important that a thorough inspection of the wiring and connectors be performed. Failure to carefully and fully inspect wiring and connectors may result in misdiagnosis, causing part replacement with reappearance of the malfunction. |
| • | If an intermittent malfunction exists refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in Wiring Systems. |
