P0223 Throttle Position Sensor 2 Signal Circuit High Input

COMPONENT LOCATION

img

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
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.
DTC DESCRIPTION
Checking output signals from TPS2 every 8.5 sec. under detecting condition, if an output signal is above 4.75V for more than 0.1 sec., ECM sets P0223.

MONITOR GDS DATA
1.
Connect GDS to Data Link Connector(DLC).
2.
IG “ON”.
3.
Select “DTC” button, and then Press “DTC Status” to check DTC’s information from the DTCs menu.
4.
Read “DTC Status” parameter.

5.
Is parameter displayed “Present fault”?
 

img

â–¶ Go to “Terminal and Connector inspection” procedure.

img

▶ Fault is intermittent caused by poor contact in the sensor’s and/or ECM’s connector or was repaired and ECM memory was not cleared. Thoroughly check connectors for looseness, poor connection, ending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or damage. Repair or replace as necessary
TERMINAL AND CONNECTOR INSPECTION
1.
Many malfunctions in the electrical system are caused by poor harness and terminals. Faults can also be caused by interference from other electrical systems, and mechanical or chemical damage.
2.
Thoroughly check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or damage.
3.
Has a problem been found?
 

img

â–¶ Repair as necessary and go to “Verification of Vehicle Repair” procedure .

img

â–¶ Go to ” Signal Circuit Inspection ” procedure.

 

SIGNAL CIRCUIT INSPECTION
â–  Check voltage
1.
IG “OFF” and disconnect ETC Motor & TPS connector.
2.
IG “ON”.
3.
Measure voltage between TPS2 signal terminal of ETC Motor & TPS harness connector and chassis ground.
 Approx. 0V

4.
Is the measured voltage within specification ?
 

img

â–¶ Go to “Ground Circuit Inspection” procedure.

img

â–¶ Go to “Check short to battery in harness” as follows.

 

â–  Check short to battery in harness
1.
IG “OFF” and disconnect ETC Motor & TPS connector and ECM connector.
2.
Measure resistance between TPS2 signal and TPS power terminals of ETC Motor & TPS harness connector.(Measurement “A”)
3.
Measure resistance between TPS2 signal and ETC motor(+) terminals of ETC Motor & TPS harness connector.(Measurement “B”)
4.
Measure resistance between TPS2 signal and ETC motor(-) terminals of ETC Motor & TPS harness connector.(Measurement “B”)
 Infinite

â–¶ Go to “Ground Circuit Inspection” procedure.

img

â–¶ Repair short to battery in harness, and go to “Verification of Vehicle Repair” procedure.

 

GROUND CIRCUIT INSPECTION
â–  Check open in harness
1.
IG “OFF” and disconnect ECTS connector and then IG “ON”.
2.
Measure voltage between TPS power terminal of ETC Motor & TPS harness connector and chassis ground.(Measurement “A”)
3.
Measure voltage between TPS power and TPS ground terminals of ETC Motor & TPS harness connector.(Measurement “B”)
 Voltage difference between measurement “A” and “B” is below 200mV.

4.
Is the measured voltage within specification ?
 

img

â–¶ Go to “Component Inspection” procedure.

img

â–¶ Repair contact resistance or open in harness
COMPONENT INSPECTION
â–  Check TPS resistance
1.
IG “OFF” and disconnect ETC Motor & TPS connector.
2.
Measure resistance between TPS power and TPS ground terminals of ETC Motor & TPS connector.(component side)
 1.6 ~ 2.4kΩ

â–¶ Substitute with a known – good ECM and check for proper operation. If the problem is corrected, replace ECM and go to “Verification of Vehicle Repair” procedure.
   
 
There is a memory reset function on GDS that can erase optional parts automatically detected and memorized by ECM. Before or after testing ECM on the vehicle, use this function to reuse the ECM on the others

img

â–¶ Substitute with a known – good ECT motor & TPS and check for proper operation. If the problem is corrected, replace ECT motor & TPS and go to “Verification of Vehicle Repair” procedure.

※ Procedure of ETS Initialization
Erase the trouble codes on ECM
Turn the ignition key off and keep this condition until the main relay is turned off.(It will take 10sec.)
Turn ignition key on more than 1second to record the throttle motor position on the EEPROM
