Throttle/Fuel Inhibit A Circuit Range/Performance

The throttle/fuel inhibit A signal is electrically intact but its value does not match the system context — for example asserted while the immobilizer reports OK, or de-asserted while a hybrid HV interlock is active. The ECM cannot trust the signal.

Affected components

  • Throttle inhibit a

Common causes

  • High likelihood: Requesting module sending an inconsistent value
  • Low likelihood: Sensor element aged beyond calibration window
  • Low likelihood: Sensor mounting loose - signal damping

Diagnostic notes

  • The malfunction indicator lamp may illuminate
