Code No. P0657: Throttle Valve Control Servo Relay Circuit Malfunction










OPERATION



  • Battery voltage is applied to the throttle valve control servo relay terminal (terminal No. 4).
  • Battery voltage is applied to the throttle valve control servo relay terminal (terminal No. 2) from the engine control relay (terminal No. 2).
  • Engine-ECU (terminal No. 84) applies current to the throttle valve control servo relay coil by turning ON the power transistor in the unit in order to turn the relay ON.
  • When the throttle valve control servo relay turns ON, battery voltage is supplied by the throttle valve control servo relay (terminal No. 3) to the engine-ECU (terminal No. 72).

FUNCTION



  • When the ignition switch ON signal is input into the engine-ECU, the engine-ECU turns ON the throttle valve control servo.

TROUBLE JUDGMENT


Check Condition
  • Battery positive voltage is higher than 8.3 V.
Judgement Criterion
  • The power line voltage of the electronic controlled throttle system should be 6.0 V or less.

PROBALE CAUSES



  • Failed throttle valve return spring
  • Open/short circuit or harness damage in throttle valve control servo circuit or loose connector contact.
  • Failed engine-ECU
