Circuit Description

The throttle body assembly contains an idle speed control (ISC) motor that is used to control the engine speed at idle. The engine control module (ECM) commands the ISC motor to adjust the throttle angle for idle speed control. The throttle position (TP) sensor and the ISC motor position sensor are also integrated into the throttle body assembly. Both of the position sensors share a common 5-volt reference circuit and a common low reference circuit. Each position sensor has an individual signal circuit, which provides the ECM with a signal voltage proportional to throttle plate movement. If the ECM detects the ISC motor position sensor signal voltage is too low, this DTC sets.
