V70 XC 2001 ETM or not ETM? Topic is solved

[antonevane]

I have an issue with my V70 XC 2001. I went through the most ETM topics and still couldn't figure it out what is wrong with my car yet.
After start car might have a so called limp mode on the low RPM and after computer reduce throttle (or close it completely) and I can go not more then 5 - 15 miles (rolling from hill adds the speed )

I have a yellow sticker ETM.
I did VIDA ETM test differences was not more then 0.79%.
According XeModex flow chart pulled ETM fuse it looks like ETM works fine (I heard just one click in the end)

Any suggestions what do I need to check?

I pulled the following codes using VIDA for different events

The first set of VIDA codes:
ECM-903C Reconfiguration emission system - Information
ECM-904D Text message - Information
ECM-9190 Throttle position (TP) - Faulty current
ECM-91A7 Throttle position (TP) - Faulty control
ECM-91F0 Throttle position (TP) - Faulty current
ECM-903F Throttle position (TP) - Signal missing

The second set of VIDA codes
ECM-903C Reconfiguration emission system - Information
ECM-904D Text message - Information
ECM-902A Communication with throttle unit - Signal too low
ECM-917F Accelerator pedal position - Faulty signal
ECM-9190 Throttle position (TP) - Faulty current
CEM-1A5D Communication with ETM control module Signal missing


The third set of VIDA code
ECM-903C Reconfiguration emission system - Information
ECM-902A Communication with throttle unit - Signal too low
ECM-917F Accelerator pedal position - Faulty signal
ECM-9190 Throttle position (TP) - Faulty current

Have you cleared the codes to see how fast they come back?

[antonevane]

Hi abscate, the ENGINE SERVICE URGENT REQUIRED message returned immediately once I started engine. (no power)
I will plug VIDA tomorrow to see what the codes are.

[antonevane]

Ok, After clearing the codes and battery reset I see the following

I have read the vida codes:
ECM-903C Reconfiguration emission system - Information
ECM-904D Text message - Information
ECM-903F Throttle position (TP) - Signal missing
ECM-9190 Throttle position (TP) - Faulty current
CEM-1A5D Communication with ETM control module Signal missing
Checking compression
Checking fuel and residual pressures
Checking injectors
Checking spark plugs
Checking the freewheel on a generator (GEN)
Checking three-way catalytic converter (TWC) and exhaust system


It looks like it might be corroded/lose connection or ETM failure
Has anyone seen something similar?

[abscate]

Yeah, that looks like your ETM has crapped out

ECM-9190 Throttle position (TP) - Faulty current
Means that motor of throttle actuator has issues.

I'm looking to have a used ETM.....
Can I avoid reprogramming?

Has anyone reprogrammed used ETM?
Is there a way to download software from the car

[abscate]

If you match part numbers exactly there is some chance that a used ETM will go in and work. It's roughly a 50% chance based on reports here. The gentleman above, Henry, aka double bug, programs these over the Internet too.

Xemodex is the another option and FCP sells refurbed ETMs as well.

[antonevane]

To match exact part I need to have part from the same model/year car to have a similar software.

Xemodex is just a TPS upgrade as far as I understand.
Will they do a rebuild too if I send them my ETM?

Since I already have a yellow label ETM I don't know if Xemodex will help.
Looks like ETM has been replaced once and my option is refurb ETM.

[doublebug]

ideal is the same model year and engine type.
But since there are some firmware upgrade levels so different levels do not work with each other.
I mean ETM and ECM should have the same firmware upgrade level.
