Throttle Body

The repair process starts with removal of the air cleaner outlet pipe followed by disconnecting of the electronic throttle control electrical connector. The throttle body (TB) requires installation after the replacement of its four securing bolts and discarded TB gasket. The installation of the throttle body requires the use of a new TB gasket and the bolts should be tightened to 10 Nm (89 lb-in). The service ends with step-by-step implementation of the removal process where you must avoid using any tool to maintain throttle plate position to prevent bore and plate damage.

Safety measures must take priority before servicing a throttle body since highly flammable mixtures exist within fuel-related components. The first step is to detach the air cleaner outlet tube as well as unplug the electronic throttle body (TB) electrical connector. Work on removing the bolts which connect the electronic TB. The reinstallation process requires bolt torque to 10 Nm (89 lb-in) while you should check the TB gasket status for potential replacement. Understand that damage may arise from cleaning the throttle body and finishing the installation by returning to the initial removal steps while avoiding contact between the bore and plate.

The service of the throttle body requires the removal of both the air cleaner assembly and air cleaner outlet tube. The electronic throttle body (TB) electrical connector needs its red clip to be pulled out before any disconnect operations. The throttle body requires the removal of its four securing bolts before the TB gasket should be thrown away. The installation process involves using a new TB gasket and putting the throttle body into position before tightening the four bolts in two stages to 9 Nm (80 lb-in) then turning them 90 degrees more. Reconnect the electronic TB electrical connector by using the red clip and reinstall the air cleaner assembly and air cleaner outlet tube consequently.

A technician should start throttle body servicing and repair efforts by taking off the air cleaner outlet pipe. Detach the electronic throttle control electrical connector first then remove the four bolts which secure the throttle body. The gasket of the throttle body must be discarded so you should install a fresh gasket during reassembly. Proceed with installation by torquing the bolts to 10 Nm (89 lb-in) then follow the reverse steps of removal to finish the process.

The vehicle requires removal of the throttle body for cleaning procedures as any stationary materials used to maintain throttle plate opening can generate damage to bore and plate components. Start by unpiping the air cleaner outlet followed by electronic throttle control electrical connector disconnection. After securing the throttle body with four bolts users need to remove them before disposing of the old throttle body gasket. Apply a brand new gasket during throttle body installation and follow up by tightening bolts to 10 Nm (89 lb-in). Complete the installation by doing the opposite of what was done during removal.

Start the throttle body service and repair by taking out the air cleaner outlet pipe. The service requires the disconnection of the electronic throttle control electrical connector. After removing the four bolts from the throttle body you should take out the component along with the old gasket which becomes waste. During the TB installation process you must use a fresh TB gasket together with a torque setting of 10 Nm (89 lb-in) for bolts. The service and repair process ends when you reverse the steps you used for removal.

Reinstall the air cleaner assembly and air cleaner outlet tube.

Place a new throttle body gasket, position the throttle body, and tighten the four bolts in two stages: first to 10 Nm (89 lb-in), then tighten an additional 90 degrees.

Avoid smoking or open flames near fuel-related components due to the presence of highly flammable mixtures, which can lead to personal injury.

Inspect the throttle body gasket and replace it with a new one if necessary.

The TB must be removed from the vehicle for cleaning.

Exercise caution as the throttle body bore and plate area have a special coating that cannot be cleaned, and avoid any open flames or smoking near fuel-related components due to the risk of ignition.

Reverse the removal procedure to complete the installation.
