Description and operation
Description

The Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) System consists of a throttle body with an integrated control motor and throttle position sensor (TPS). Unlike the existing mechanical throttle system that controls the throttle valve by using wire cable connected to the accelerator pedal, the ETC system controls the opening and closing of the throttle valve by the ECM with ETC motor according to the APS (Accelerator Position Sensor) signal mounted to electronic accelerator pedal module. The TPS signal is used to provide feedback regarding throttle position to the ECM. Also, the ETC system has the benefit of implementing cruise control function without additional external cruise control modules/cables.

Throttle Position Sensor (TPS)

1.

Connect the KDS on the Data Link Connector (DLC).

2.

Start the engine and measure the output voltage of TPS 1 and 2 at C.T. and W.O.T.

ETC Motor

1.

Switch "OFF" the ignition.

2.

Disconnect the ETC module connector.

3.

Measure resistance between the ETC module terminals 3 and 6.

4.

Check that the resistance is within the specification.

Specification: 0.3 - 100 [20°C(68°F)]

Removal
1.

Switch "OFF" the ignition and disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal.

2.

Remove the alternator assembly.

(Refer to Engine Electrical System - "Alternator")

3.

Remove the intercooler outlet hose & pipe.

(Refer to Engine Mechanical System - "Intercooler")

4.

Disconnect the ETC module connector (A).

5.

Disconnect the coolant hose (B).

6.

Remove the ETC module from the engine after loosening the installation bolt (C).

Electronic throttle body Installation bolt :

9.8 - 11.8 N·m (1.0 - 1.2 kgf·m, 7.2 - 8.7 lb·ft)

Cleaning
1.

Remove the ETC Module.

(Refer to Engine Control System - "ETC System")

2.

Keep the ETC module plate (A) open.

3.

Clean the pollutant in the throttle body with a soft cloth moistened by cleaning fluid.

  

Do not spray cleaning fluid directly onto ETC module. Use a lint free cloth moistened by cleaning fluid.

Be careful not to clean the coating fluid around the shaft. If coating fluid is removed, idling control failure may occur due to inflow of foreign substance or excessive air leakage.

4.

After cleaning, reinstall the ETC module and then perform the ETC module learning procedure.

(Refer to Engine Control System - "ETC System" - Adjustment)

Installation
  

Install the component to the specified torques.

Note that internal damage may occur when the component is dropped. If the component has been dropped, inspect before installing.

1.

Install in the reverse order of removal.

Adjustment
ETC module learning procedure

Be sure to perform the ETC module learning procedure when replacing or reinstalling the ETC module.

1.

Wait for 1 minute with the ignition switch ON.

2.

Start the engine and hold the idle status for 15 minutes.

3.

Wait for 1 minute with the ignition switch OFF.

4.

Restart the engine, and check that the idle speed is stable.

  

If the ETC module learning procedure is not performed after replacing or reinstalling it, MIL illumination with DTCs may occur.

Troubleshooting

Kia Stinger (CK) 2018-2023 Service Manual: Changing a tire with TPMS

If you have a flat tire, the Low Tire Pressure telltale will come on. Have the flat tire repaired by an authorized Kia dealer as soon as possible or replace the flat tire with the spare tire. CAUTION - Repair Agents Never use a puncture-repairing agent not approved by Kia to repair and/or inflate a low pressure tire. The sealant not approved by Kia may damage the tire pressure sensor.

Kia Stinger (CK) 2018-2023 Service Manual: Starting the engine with a smart key

1.Carry the smart key or place it inside the vehicle. 2.Make sure the parking brake is firmly applied 3.Place the shift lever in P (Park). Depress the brake pedal fully. You can also start the engine when the shift lever is in the N (Neutral) position. 4.Press the engine start/stop button while depressing the brake pedal. 5.Do not wait for the engine to warm up while the vehicle remains stationary.
