Code No.79 Throttle position sensor (1st channel) system Probable cause
The throttle valve controller determines a failure, and sends it result to the engine-ECU.
Range of check
D Ignition switch: ON
D System voltage: 8 V or more
Set conditions
D Output voltage of the sensor remains 0.2 V for one second.
or
D Output voltage of the sensor remains 4.9 V for one second.
or
D Output voltage of the throttle position sensor (1st and 2nd channels) remains
outside 4 ± 6 V for four seconds.
D Malfunction of the throttle position sensor (1st channel)
D Open circuit or short-circuited harness wire in the
throttle position sensor (1st channel), or poor
connector contact
D Malfunction of the throttle valve controller
D Malfunction of the engine-ECU
NG
Repair
OK
Replace the throttle valve controller.
MUT-II Data list
Is code No. 14, 91 or 92 output?
Yes
Follow INSPECTION PROCEDURE
FOR DIAGNOSIS CODE.
No
Check the throttle position sensor. (Re-
fer to P.13A-103.)
