4. Connect a test lamp between the TAC motor control 2 circuit terminal A and B+. The test lamp should NOT illuminate.
瀚慖f the test lamp illuminates, test the control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the engine control module.
5. Test for greater than 3.5 V between TAC motor control 1 circuit terminal B and TAC motor control 2 circuit terminal A.
瀚慖f the voltage is less than the specified value, test the motor control 2 circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal,
replace the engine control module.
6. Ignition OFF, connect the EL 34730-405 - Injector Test Lamp between the TAC motor control 1 circuit terminal B and TAC motor control 2
circuit terminal A of the throttle body harness connector. Observe the injector test lamp while turning the ignition ON for 5 s and then OFF.
Verify the injector test lamp illuminates brightly and then turns OFF.
瀚慖f the injector test lamp does not illuminate, replace the engine control module.
7. If all circuits test normal, replace the throttle body.

Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
The engine control module (ECM) controls the throttle valve by applying a varying voltage to the control circuits of the throttle actuator control
(TAC) motor. The ECM monitors the duty cycle that is required to actuate the throttle valve. The ECM monitors the throttle position (TP) sensors 1
and 2 to determine the actual throttle valve position.
