■The structure, equipment, or performance status that is found to be in a state of nonconformity and the cause of such nonconformity
Due to improper programming of the engine control unit, the contact points of the throttle position sensor may wear prematurely due to repeated minute movements, causing wear powder to accumulate. As a result, the correct throttle position could not be recognized due to the wear particles deposited on the contact points, causing the engine speed to fluctuate, which could result in the engine warning light illuminating, and in the worst case, the engine could stall.
■Details of improvement measures
All vehicles will have the engine control unit program rewritten to the countermeasure program and the throttle position sensor replaced with a new one.
