DTC B1534 Mitshubishi

Sensor Reference Voltage C Circuit-Open

Sensor Reference Voltage C Circuit-Open

Description

The Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) system uses two Throttle Position Sensors (TPS) to monitor the throttle blade position. The Throttle Position Sensors 1 and 2 are located within the Throttle Body assembly. Each sensor has a 5-Volt reference circuit, a low reference circuit, and a signal circuit. Processors are also used to monitor the ETC system data. The processors are located within the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). Each signal circuit provides the processors with a signal voltage proportional to throttle blade movement. The processors share and monitor data to verify that the indicated TPS calculation is correct.
