When abnormality is detected
Engine-ECU compares output voltage of the throttle
position sensor (main) and throttle position sensor
(sub) to check for abnormality in the throttle position
sensor. If the engine-ECU detects the abnormality,
the emergency should be prevented by performing
the fuel-safe control.
• When 1-system malfunctions
The engine ECU should perform the throttle valve
position control by only using the signal hav-
ing no malfunctions. Depressing the accelera-
tor pedal half way can perform the control.
Performing the fuel cut can increase the
engine rotation speed.
• When 2-system malfunctions
The engine ECU should cut the energization of
the throttle valve control servo. At that time,
the spring built in the throttle valve can slightly
open the throttle valve. This allows the engine
ECU to control the engine output.
