Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

DTC P0068

Step Action Value(s) Yes No
Schematic Reference: Engine Controls Schematics
Connector End View Reference: Engine Control Module (ECM) Connector End Views or Engine Controls Connector End Views
1 Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle? - Go to Step 2  Go to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle in Vehicle DTC Information
2 Are DTCs P0121, P0122, P0123, P0221, P0222, P0223, P0101, P0102, P0103, P0106, P0107, P0108, or P0638 also set? - Go to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle in Vehicle DTC Information Go to Step 3

  1. Observe the Freeze Frame/Failure Records for this DTC.
  2. Turn OFF the ignition.
  3. Start the engine.
  4. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records.
Did the DTC fail this ignition?
- Go to Step 4  Go to Intermittent Conditions
4 Inspect for the following conditions:
  • Vacuum hoses for splits, kinks, and proper connections as shown on Vehicle Emission Control Information label
  • Any type of leak or restriction
  • Air leaks at the throttle body mounting area and the intake manifold sealing surfaces
  • Restrictions in the air intake system, including filter

Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 12  Go to Step 5

IMPORTANT: Observe the TP sensors 1 and 2 angle parameter with a scan tool.
  1. Start the engine.
  2. Apply accelerator pedal slightly and record TP 1 and 2 angles.
  3. Turn OFF the ignition.
Is the difference between TP sensor 1 angle and TP sensor 2 angle less than the specified value?
3% Go to Step 10  Go to Step 6 
6 Test the throttle position (TP) sensor 1 5-volt reference circuit for high resistance. Refer to Circuit Testing andWiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 12  Go to Step 7 
7 Test the TP sensor low reference circuit for high resistance. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 12  Go to Step 8 
8 Test the TP sensor 1 signal circuit for high resistance. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 12  Go to Step 9 
9 Test the TP sensor 2 signal circuit for high resistance. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 12  Go to Step 10 
10 Inspect the throttle body for the following conditions:
  • A loose or damaged throttle blade
  • A broken throttle shaft

Did you find a condition?
- Go to Step 11  -
11 Replace the throttle body assembly. Refer to Throttle Body Assembly Replacement .
Did you complete the replacement?
- Go to Step 12  -

  1. Clear the DTCs with a scan tool.
  2. Turn OFF the ignition for 30 seconds.
  3. Start the engine.
  4. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records.
Did the DTC fail this ignition?
- Go to Step 3  Go to Step 13

IMPORTANT: More than one throttle actuator control (TAC) system-related DTC may set. This is due to the many redundant tests run continuously on this system. Locating and repairing one individual condition may correct more than one DTC. Be aware of this when reviewing Captured Info.
Observe the Capture Info with a scan tool.Are there any DTCs that have not been diagnosed?
