If the reading is in specification, but the actuator does not operate, replace the throttle body assy.
If the reading is out of the specification, remove the ECU and check the wiring for continuity between main harness connector.
Special Tool - Hand Tester: 57001-1394
Disconnect the ECU and actuator connectors.

Piston Ring End Gap Inspection
Place the piston ring [A] inside the cylinder (upper
crankcase), using the piston to locate the ring squarely
in place. Set it close to the bottom of the cylinder, where
cylinder wear is low.
Measure the gap [B] between the ends of the ring with a
thickness gauge.
Piston Ring End Gap ...
Bolts, Nuts and Fasteners Tightness Inspection
Check the tightness of the bolts and nuts listed here. Also,
check to see that each cotter pin is in place and in good
condition.
NOTE
For the engine fasteners, check the tightness of them
when the engine is cold (at room temperature).
If there are loose fasteners, retighten them to ...
