The Electronic Throttle Control(ETC) system consists of the throttle body, Throttle Position Sensor(TPS)1&2 and Accelerator Position Sensor(APS) 1&2. TPS1&2 are sharing the same source voltage and ground. The ECM controls the throttle motor to open and close the throttle valve. The TPS1 output voltage increases smoothly in proportion with the throttle valve opening angle after starting. TPS2 output voltage decreases in inverse proportion with the throttle valve opening angle after starting. The TPS provides feedback to the ECM to control the throttle motor in order to control the throttle valve opening angle properly in response to the driver's demands.
Checking output signals from TPS 1 and 2 under detecting condition, if output signals difference between TPS1 and TPS2 are detected more than 8% for the specified number of times., ECM sets P2135.
