Throttle Body

The presence of highly flammable mixtures in fuel-related components requires that servicing the throttle body should be done in areas free of smoking and open flames to protect personal safety. Service of the electronic throttle body requires treating it as an entire unit because separate components lack replacement or maintenance functions. Cleaning the throttle body bore and plate area is not necessary since the special coating requires protection from damage. The service begins with uninstalling the air cleaner outlet tube and continues with the sequential removal of all listed parts. The installation of the throttle body consists of performing the opposite sequence of removal steps.

The first step to repair the throttle body requires users to remove the accelerator control splash shield by removing its bolts. The first step requires you to disconnect both the throttle body from the air cleaner outlet tube and unplug the throttle position sensor electrical connector. Unfasten all components of the accelerator controls starting with the accelerator cable followed by the speed control cable and the return spring. During servicing of the throttle body it becomes necessary to remove and discard the TB gasket. Unscrew the bolts to remove the throttle body and its attached throttle body gasket. Use a new throttle body gasket after installation when you perform the opposite sequence of removal steps. Tighten the throttle body bolts through two sequential steps by reaching 9 Nm (80 lb-in) then continuing to rotate for 90 degrees. Maintain safety measures because the throttle body bore features a special coating that cannot be cleaned alongside the necessity to avoid exposure to open flames or smoking near fuel-related components due to ignition risks.

Service and repair work on the throttle body should commence with ensuring safety by staying clear of fuel-related components from open flames and smoking since they contain highly flammable mixtures. Remote the air cleaner outlet pipe before disconnecting the electronic throttle control and throttle position sensor electrical connectors. After breaking loose the four bolts which keep the throttle body in place you should remove them and toss out the TB gasket. The installation requires a fresh TB gasket which you should install together with the four bolts before tightening them starting at 9 Nm (80 lb-in) followed by an additional 90-degree rotation. The final step requires reattaching the air cleaner outlet pipe after reconnecting both electronic throttle control and throttle position sensor electrical connectors to the throttle body.

When servicing the throttle body you must maintain safety protocols by resisting both smoking and open flames in the vicinity of fuel components because these areas harbor flammable fuel combinations. The servicing process starts by removing the air cleaner outlet pipe before disconnecting the electronic throttle control and throttle position (TP) sensor electrical connectors. The throttle body (TB) must be taken off by removing its four securing bolts following gasket discarding. You must install a fresh gasket when putting the TB into place with the four bolts that need to be tightened in two sequences starting from 9 Nm (80 lb-in) followed by an additional 90-degree rotation. Reattach the air cleaner outlet pipe together with reconnection of the electronic throttle control and TP sensor electrical connectors to the throttle body.

Inspect the throttle body gasket and replace it if necessary.

Remove the four bolts securing the throttle body and discard the throttle body gasket.

First to 9 Nm (80 lb-in), then tighten an additional 90 degrees.

Discard the TB gasket.

Disconnect the electronic throttle body electrical connector and the throttle position sensor electrical connector.

Remove the bolts securing the electronic throttle body along with the gasket, ensuring to discard the old gasket.

Begin by removing the air cleaner outlet tube.

Yes, the throttle body bore and plate area have a special coating and should not be cleaned.

Detach the air cleaner outlet tube from the throttle body and disconnect the Throttle Position (TP) sensor electrical connector.

Inspect the throttle body gasket and replace it if necessary.

Inspect and, if necessary, install a new throttle body gasket.

Disconnect the two throttle body electrical connectors.

Ensure to tighten the bolts to 10 Nm (89 lb-in) and use a new intake manifold-to-electronic throttle body gasket.

The next step is to remove the air cleaner outlet tube.

Remove the four throttle body (TB) bolts and the throttle body itself, discarding the TB gasket.

Remove the bolts securing the electronic TB and the gasket, discarding the old gasket.

Remove the nut and set the wiring harness bracket aside.

Reconnect the TAC and TP sensor electrical connectors.

Discard the TB gasket.

Reconnect the TAC and TP sensor electrical connectors.

Reconnect the TAC and TP sensor electrical connectors, reinstall the air cleaner outlet tube, and finally reconnect the negative battery cable.
