The ETCS (Electronic Throttle Control System) has a dedicated power supply circuit. The voltage (+BM) is monitored and when it is low (less than 4 V), the ECM determines that there is a malfunction in the ETCS and cuts off the current to the throttle actuator.

The throttle actuator is operated by the ECM, and opens and closes the throttle valve using gears. The opening angle of the throttle valve is detected by the Throttle Position (TP) sensor, which is mounted on the throttle body. The TP sensor provides feedback to the ECM in order that it can control the throttle actuator, and therefore the throttle valve, appropriately in response to driver inputs.

The fuel trim is related to the feedback compensation value, not to the basic injection time. The fuel trim consists of both the short-term and the long-term fuel trims.

The throttle actuator is operated by the ECM and opens and closes the throttle valve using gears.

The opening angle of the throttle valve is detected by the Throttle Position (TP) sensor, which is mounted on the throttle body. The TP sensor provides feedback to the ECM. This feedback allows the ECM to appropriately control the throttle actuator and monitor the throttle opening angle as the ECM responds to driver inputs.

The Swirl Control Valve (SCV) position sensor is a non-contact type.

The position sensor measures the opening angle of the SCV. The sensor is reliable and accurate, as it is electrically controlled by Hall elements.

In order to obtain a high purification rate of the carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbon (HC) and nitrogen oxide (NOx) components in the exhaust gas, a TWC (Three-Way Catalytic Converter) is used. For the most efficient use of the TWC, the air-fuel ratio must be precisely controlled so that it is always close to the stoichiometric air-fuel level. For the purpose of helping the ECM to deliver accurate air-fuel ratio control, a Heated Oxygen (HO2) sensor is used.

The ECM activates the DC motor for Swirl Control Valve (SCV), which opens and closes SCV. The ECM activates the DC motor based on engine rpm, coolant temperature, engine load signals and other conditions. When the voltage of the DC motor deviates from the standard range, the ECM determines that a malfunction has occurred and outputs a DTC.

The Throttle Position (TP) sensor is mounted on the throttle body, and detects the opening angle of the throttle valve. This sensor is a non-contact type, and uses Hall-effect elements, in order to yield accurate signals, even in extreme driving conditions, such as at high speeds as well as very low speeds.

When the ECM has requested an SCV close operation but the SCV's actual opening angle is more than 20° for 1 second, DTC P2004 is output. When the ECM has requested an SCV open operation but the SCV's actual opening angle is less than 35° for 1 second, DTC P2006 is output.

The ECM determines the battery power according to the voltage of the BATT terminal while the engine is running (not cranking).
