DTC 524286 ETC Wire Shorted/Fail
Conditions for Setting the DTC
Throttle Position Sensor
Check Condition-Ignition ON
Fault Condition-Actual and desired throttle position greater than 10%
Battery voltage greater than 9 volts
MIL-On during active fault
Circuit Description
Dual throttle position sensors (TPS) are used with the electronic throttle control (ETC) to determine
throttle plate position. The TPS values are used by the ECM to determine if the throttle is opening and
closing as commanded. This fault will set if the ECM detects a problem with the ETC TPS, malfunctioning
throttle control motor or sticking throttle valve assembly.
