DESCRIPTION
The idle speed is controlled by the Electronic Throttle Control System (ETCS). The ETCS is comprised of a throttle actuator, which operates the throttle valve, and a throttle position sensor, which detects the opening amount of the throttle valve. The ECM controls the throttle actuator to adjust the throttle valve opening amount so that the idle speed is maintained at the target idle speed.
DTC No. | Detection Item | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area | MIL | Memory | Note |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
P210900 | Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor "A" Minimum Stop Performance | The Throttle Air Flow F/B Value* approaches its limit even though the actual intake air amount during idling is within the normal range (up to 1.5 times the normal amount) (1 trip detection logic). *: Data List item | Throttle body with motor assembly | Does not come on | DTC stored | SAE Code: P2109 |

MONITOR DESCRIPTION
If there are deposits in the throttle valve, a decrease in the ISC flow rate may cause engine stall or unstable idling. Therefore, the necessary ISC flow rate for idling is maintained using the throttle air flow feedback. The ECM stores this DTC if the Throttle Air Flow F/B Value approaches its limit. The ECM begins monitoring for the DTC detection conditions when the following preconditions are met:

PROCEDURE
1. | CHECK ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P210900) |
(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the engine switch on (IG).
(c) Turn the Techstream on.
(d) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes.
(e) Read the DTCs.
Powertrain > Engine > Trouble Codes Result | Proceed to |
---|---|
DTC P210900 is output | A |
DTC P210900 and other DTCs are output | B |
HINT:
If any DTCs other than P210900 are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.
B | GO TO DTC CHART |
|
2. | READ FREEZE FRAME DATA |
(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the engine switch on (IG).
(c) Using the Techstream, check "Throttle Air Flow F/B Value" in the freeze frame data.

HINT:
Be sure to confirm "Throttle Air Flow F/B Value" in the freeze frame data as it is used when confirming whether the malfunction has been successfully repaired.

3. | INSPECT THROTTLE BODY WITH MOTOR ASSEMBLY |
(a) Check for foreign matter between the throttle valve and the housing.
*1 | Throttle Body with Motor Assembly | *2 | Bore |
*3 | Valve | - | - |
*a | Reference | *b | Throttle Body with Motor Assembly Cross-section Diagram |
*c | When valve fully opened | *d | Deposits |
HINT:
The illustrations are for reference. Actual parts may differ.
Result | Proceed to |
---|---|
Foreign matter between the throttle valve and housing | A |
No foreign matter between the throttle valve and housing | B |
HINT:
Perform "Inspection After Repair" after replacing the throttle body with motor assembly.

B | REPLACE THROTTLE BODY WITH MOTOR ASSEMBLY |
|
4. | REMOVE FOREIGN MATTER (CLEAN THROTTLE BODY WITH MOTOR ASSEMBLY) |
(a) Clean off any deposits from the inside of the throttle body with motor assembly.
*1 | Throttle Body with Motor Assembly | *2 | Bore |
*3 | Valve | - | - |
*a | Reference | *b | Throttle Body with Motor Assembly Cross-section Diagram |
*c | When valve fully opened | *d | Do not directly apply cleaner |
*e | Deposits | - | - |
(1) Push open the throttle valve and wipe off any carbon from the valve and bore using a cloth soaked in non-residue solvent.
NOTICE:

5. | READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (THROTTLE AIR FLOW F/B VALUE) |
(a) Perform "Inspection After Repair" after cleaning the throttle body with motor assembly.
Click here
(b) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(c) Turn the engine switch on (IG).
(d) Turn the Techstream on.
(e) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Data List / Throttle Air Flow F/B Value.
Powertrain > Engine > Data List Tester Display |
---|
Throttle Air Flow F/B Value |
(f) Read the value.
OK:
The value is half of "Throttle Air Flow F/B Value" recorded in the freeze frame data or less.
HINT:
Perform "Inspection After Repair" after replacing the throttle body with motor assembly.
