THROTTLE VALVE CONTROL




System Configuration Diagram


When engine is running


Engine-ECU actuates the throttle valve control servo to fully open the throttle valve. In a driving range in which the exhaust gas recirculation control is being effected, the throttle valve closes to create a vacuum in the inlet manifold.

When engine is stopped


Engine-ECU actuates the throttle valve control servo to fully close the throttle valve for 3 seconds. This cuts off the flow of intake air and prevents the engine from run on (dieseling).

When a problem develops


If the engine-ECU detects a serious problem, it immediately closes the throttle valve fully to stop the engine.
