Has anyone had this code come up? The light just came on and the car runs fine. What can I check/clean/replace?

 I replaced the oil cooler 1 month ago, it sat for 3 weeks before I could get to it and the battery died. One of my keyless entries doesn't connect anymore, the batteries are good and transmitting. Could the battery dying effect these things?

You are going to be asked what car/trim/engine/year you have so it will save time if you add it to your profile.

Have you tried putting new batteries in the key that has stopped working?

I haven't replaced the battery in the keyless entry, but I was able to check and see that it worked (they have this thing at the auto parts store that will light up if its transmitting). The car battery has been replaced and the cables cleaned.

Is there not a note about re-seting it back to car in your manual mate.  I have the older typr i'r one and once in a blue moon i have to pair it back up with the car.  Somthing like turn the ignition on and hold key button for 10 seconds......Somthing like that anyway have a look at you manual mate.

Right mate just found an on line free pdf onwers manual and this is what it says:


Synchroniz ing remote control
In the event of malfunctions, synchronize
remote control:
z Switch on ignition; system will then remain
in synchronizing mode for 30 seconds.
z Briefly press button p or q on the remote
control unit while the unit is in the ignition.
z The central locking system locks and
unlocks to show that the remote control
has been synchronized.

If you want the rest of the manual p.m mate and i will send you the link as i'm not sure we are allowed to put the link up on here for copyright laws.

Thanks, I will try it and let you know

The error relates to the drive-by-wire throttle control system.

I would check the electrical connections to the throttle control on the throttle body. Might well be worth giving the throttle body a clean in case it is sticking.

I would get the fault cleared using an OBDII reader and see if it comes back in the first instance. It could have appeared due to the dead battery, I suppose.

K, got the keyless resynchronized. thank you.

the car has been driven for over a month since the dead battery, everything good and no check engine light. We went to get the emission certification for it and they said it had a "manufacturer specific code", so it failed. As we were leaving the check engine light came on.
  I haven't had the chance to clean the throttle body, but will in the next few days. I'll make sure all the wires are good then too.
thanks

I'm glad we don't get failed here for just a stored fault code.

It does raise the question, in my mind, of whether something they did during the inspection caused the problem.

The throttle control system consists of two independent pedal position sensors on the accelerator pedal, two independent position sensors on the throttle body itself and a servo motor to move the throttle.

Normally, if one of the position sensors fails you get a "limp home" functionality where it won't give you much over idle throttle since the system cannot be sure there won't be an uncommanded full throttle "Toyota" scenario. I would say in this case, as the vehicle drives normally, it might be a problem of it sticking mechanically or the motor being lazy.

If cleaning the throttle up doesn't help I would have a look at the live data as you move the throttle over the whole range. You should see all 4 position signals moving smoothly over the full range of throttle movement.

  Forgot to post earlier. Cleaning the throttle body seems to have helped. It wasn't that dirty, but maybe it was hanging up a bit. It hasn't sent a code and was able to pass. Thanks a lot.
