This video covers cleaning an electronic throttle body, specifically the Toyota Corolla throttle body on the 2002 - 2008 Corolla. To replace an electronic throttle body, or if you are considering how to replace throttle body (Toyota Corolla years 2005 - 2008) or how to clean electronic throttle body or how to clean a drive by wire throttle body, there are certain steps that should be taken to do this safely and prevent potential damage to the electronic motor or position sensor.
This tune up item is a necessary step especially if you are having bad throttle body symptoms which include poor gas mileage, rough idling, weak acceleration etc. Throttle body related codes P2107, P2108, P2111, P2112, P2118 and P2119 may be easily repaired by cleaning the throttle body, except if parts are damaged or there's a short in the circuit.
This how to clean an electronic throttle body video also specifically covers other Toyota with the 1ZZFE engine and not just the 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008 Toyota Corolla.

The type of cleaning where you just use the pressure cleaners that you hang on the hood of your car, and the borescope to check the amount of build up in the cylinders. Have a good one sir, one love ✊🏾🇳🇬

Thank you so much, I bought a used car almost a year ago, and the acceleration is weird. For example, if I'm coming from a full stop and I press on the gas pedal, it will go then significantly slow down, and it takes maybe 10-15 sec to start accelerating properly. And no mechanic has been able to tell me what it is. Thank God for you and KZfaq 😭

@DIYAutoworksNG 2 жыл бұрын

You don't need a scanner for the idle relearn, but there is an idle relearn procedure. Which you should do if you moved the butterfly plate by hand or took it out of vehicle to clean as I did. Here it is: Warm up the car. Shut it off. Put the key in the ignition. Turn the key to the On position, but don't start the engine. Wait a few seconds, turn it off. Repeat the above step again. But instead of turning off, start the engine. Engage the parking brake. Set the gear in Drive. Wait 5-10 mins. Shut off the car.

Good question. It would appear so, however, there are general safety measures for working on hybrid vehicles which have the capacity to deliver fatal electric shocks. Because I haven't really worked on hybrids, I'd say you do a bit more digging for TB cleaning on hybrid cars.

Can you do this without removing the throttle body? Just sprang and wiping? I'm afraid to break seals on those old hoses

@DIYAutoworksNG 2 жыл бұрын

You can, though the back side of the butterfly plate will be difficult to clean. Genuine concern there on old hoses. I cleaned the PCV valve on this same car recently, and the hose to it had become hard and simply cracked while I was trying to fit it back 😠. Had to make a dash to pick up the hose and refit.

Your Corolla is drive by wire meaning it does not have an IACV. So in summary, it does not have.

You should open the valve and remove the dirt on valve edge and the area valve touchs while it is closed.

This can be done after remounting using the gas pedal to depress the butterfly plate. Although aggressive blasting usually melts it off.

Isn't the throttle body on the 2010 Corolla electronic? I can't exactly relate to manual adjustment of idle on the car using a screw. I recommend should changing your mechanic. Gone are the days of adjusting idle from the throttle body. The ECU controls everything with input from several sensors. Except I'm missing something, it's rather an idle relearn or throttle body reset procedure that should apply.

@DIYAutoworksNG 2 жыл бұрын

It's because drive by wire uses a motor to control the butterfly plate as against the spring mechanism used in drive by cable. Pushing the butterfly plate by hand can distort the caliberation of the motor, could also have the risk of stripping gears if not done correctly and lastly, if the vehicle is powered, because the butterfly plate is motor controlled, it could catch anything in its part and bite down with intense force. E.g. chop off a finger if it gets caught.
