PINPOINT TEST G240048p4 : THROTTLE BODY MOTOR CIRCUIT (VEHICLES WITHOUT SUPERCHARGER)



Pinpoint Tests

CAUTION: When probing connectors to take measurements in the course of the pinpoint tests, use the adaptor kit, part number 3548-1358-00.

NOTE:
- When performing electrical voltage or resistance tests, always use a digital multimeter (DMM) accurate to 3 decimal places, and with an up-to-date calibration certificate. When testing resistance, always take the resistance of the DMM leads into account.
- Check and rectify basic faults before beginning diagnostic routines involving pinpoint tests.

PINPOINT TEST G240048p4 : THROTTLE BODY MOTOR CIRCUIT (VEHICLES WITHOUT SUPERCHARGER)

G240048t19 : CHECK THE THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL MOTOR SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR SHORT CIRCUIT TO GROUND
1. Disconnect the throttle body electrical connector, PI26.
2. Measure the resistance between:

Throttle body connector Battery
PI26, harness side
Pin 05 Negative terminal

Is the resistance less than 10,000 ohms?

-> YES
REPAIR the short circuit. CLEAR the DTC and test the system for normal operation.

-> NO
GO to Pinpoint Test G240048t20.
