- Slowly press the accelerator pedal to the floor.
- Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.
Are any Temporary DTCs or DTCs indicated?
YES - If DTC P2118 is indicated, check for poor connections or loose terminals at the throttle body and the PCM, then go to step 1. If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs are indicated, go to the indicated DTC'S TROUBLESHOOTING .
NO - Troubleshooting is complete.
- Update the PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good PCM (see PCM UPDATING AND SUBSTITUTION FOR TESTING ).
- Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.
Are any Temporary DTCs or DTCs indicated?
