2009 Toyota Venza Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to install the throttle body assembly and ensure proper functionality on 2009 Toyota Venza?

  A: The installation process of the throttle body assembly begins with putting a new gasket on the intake manifold along with securing the fuel tube bracket through a bolt torqued at 7.5 Nm (76 kgf-cm, 66 in-lbf). The installation begins with attaching the throttle body assembly through 4 bolts which must be torqued to 10 Nm (102 kgf-cm, 7 ft-lbf). Subsequently, connect the 2 water by-pass hoses and the throttle body assembly connector. Fasten the fuel tube to its associated clamp. Link the air cleaner cap sub-assembly to the throttle body assembly and tighten the hose band before fastening it with two bolts secured to 5.0 Nm (51 kgf-cm, 44 in-lbf). You should connect the ventilation hose to the cylinder head cover and the mass air flow meter connector while installing the wire harness clamp to the air cleaner cap and the hose to its clamp. A vacuum switching valve assembly No. 1 receives installation with the addition of engine coolant followed by a verification of coolant leaks. The installation sequence includes No. 1 engine cover sub-assembly and cool air intake duct seal with the outer cowl top panel sub-assembly and windshield wiper motor and link. The service procedure concludes with installation of the No. 2 engine under cover followed by the No. 1 engine under cover. The negative (-) battery cable needs to be removed from the terminal for at least sixty seconds before the repair process begins. This procedure applies to ECM, throttle body assembly replacements and throttle body component installations as well as throttle body cleaning work. Set the ignition key to ON position but avoid depressing the accelerator pedal and if the pedal is used need to execute the earlier procedure. Use the Techstream connected to DLC3 to delete stored DTCs after which you should check for MIL illumination and test engine start-up.

Inside the Powertrain / Engine ECT / Data List / Throttle Sensor Position menu find the value and verify it exceeds 60%. A final test drive should be conducted to validate all systems operate as expected.
