Mazda Factory OBD-II DTC P0487 Code Diagnostic Procedure

P0487 Intake throttle valve control circuit malfunction
DETECTION CONDITION
•  The PCM monitors that the intake throttle valve position using intake throttle valve position sensor. If the target intake throttle valve position is not equal to intake throttle valve position sensor signal, the PCM determines that the intake throttle valve control circuit malfunction
POSSIBLE CAUSE
•  Open circuit between intake throttle valve terminal C and PCM terminal 247.
•  Short to ground circuit between intake throttle valve terminal C and PCM terminal 247
•  Open circuit between intake throttle valve terminal D and PCM control relay terminal E
•  Intake throttle valve malfunction
•  Intake throttle valve stuck

Diagnostic procedure

STEP INSPECTION ACTION
1
VERIFY FREEZE FRAME DATA HAS BEEN RECORDED
•  Has the FREEZE FRAME DATA been recorded?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Record the FREEZE FRAME DATA on the repair order, then go to the next step.
2
VERIFY REPAIR INFORMATION AVAILABILITY
•  Verify related service repair information availability.
•  Is any related repair information available?
Yes
Perform repair or diagnosis according to the available repair information.
If the vehicle is not repaired, go to the next step.
No
Go to the next step.
3
IDENTIFY TRIGGER DTC FOR FREEZE FRAME DATA
•  Is DTC P0487 on FREEZE FRAME DATA?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Go to troubleshooting procedures for DTC in FREEZE FRAME DATA.
4
INSPECT INTAKE THROTTLE VALVE CONNECTOR
•  Turn the engine switch off.
•  Verify that the intake throttle valve connector is connected securely.
•  Is connector okay?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Connect the connector securely, then go to Step 8.
5
INSPECT INTAKE THROTTLE VALVE CONNECTOR FOR POOR CONNECTION
•  Disconnect the intake throttle valve connector.
•  Inspect for poor connection (such as damaged, pulled-out terminals, corrosion).
•  Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Repair or replace suspected terminal, then go to Step 8.
No
Go to the next step.
6
INSPECT OPERATION OF INTAKE THROTTLE VALVE
•  Remove the intake throttle valve with connector connected.
•  Connect the M-MDS to DLC-2.
•  Turn the engine switch to the ON position (Engine off).
•  Access EGR_TV PID.
•  Visually inspect the intake throttle operation using the EGR_TV PID of simulation function.
•  Does the intake throttle valve move smoothly?
Yes
Go to Step 8.
No
Clean the intake throttle valve, then go to the next step.
7
INSPECT INTAKE THROTTLE VALVE ACTUATOR
•  Inspect the intake throttle valve actuator.
•  Is the intake throttle valve actuator normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Replace the air pipe (air bypass valve and intake throttle valve component), then go to the next step.
8
VERIFY THAT DTC P0487 TROUBLESHOOTING IS COMPLETED
•  Make sure to reconnect all disconnected connectors.
•  Clear the DTC from the PCM memory using the M-MDS.
•  Start the engine and warm-up to normal operating temperature.
•  Retrieve the DTC using the M-MDS.
•  Is the PENDING CODE same DTC present?
Yes
Replace PCM, then go to the next step.
No
Go to the next step.
9
VERIFY AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE
