SYMPTOM CHART

WARNING: When touching the throttle valve, surely shut off the driving circuits of the throttle valve. In the event that the throttle valve is operated, a finger might be injured as the result of being caught by the throttle valve.

CAUTION:
- During diagnosis, a DTC associated with other systems may be set when the ignition switch is turned on with connector(s) disconnected. On completion, confirm all systems for DTC(s). If DTC(s) are set, erase them all.
- Disconnecting the battery cables or removing the combination meter will erase the learned value of the fuel gauge. To recover the learned value, input a vehicle speed (by actually driving the vehicle or inputting a simulated vehicle speed), and stop the vehicle. This will complete the learning process.


NOTE:
- Check that the ECM ground circuit is normal before checking for the cause of the problem.
- When the racing (2,000 to 5,000 r/min or more) continues on the vehicle stopped with no load during the specified time or more, the increase in the engine speed might be limited. This comes from the engine protection and control functions and is not a malfunction.
