The 2017 powertrain control/emissions diagnosis (pc/ed) manual has been revised for diagnosing electronic throttle body (etb). For all etb concerns, the appropriate diagnostic must be completed before throttle body replacement. If a concern is intermittent and no dtcs are present, refer to historical dtcs and the pc/ed, section 3 no dtcs present index chart for further information.

What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
