Check Engine: P1601 - P1603 - P0221 S70

S70 2000 N/A

Check engine MIL came on with right after I've experienced misfiring

Read the stored codes:

P1601: ETS Throttle motor electrical malfunction

P1603: IAC Valve closing signal

P0221: Throttle pedal switch B circuit

Question: Is there a common problem that links all those codes together?

Thanks guys

You will want to check/clean the electrical connector at the throttle body. Some have used zip ties to keep the connector tight.

Keeping it running is better than buying new

Thx for the reply Klaus.

CEL in on again with now a rough idle and engines rpm goes up and down with 4 more additional DTCs stored. See below

Just in case, I disconnected the ETM connector and I cleaned it with contact cleaner but no changes.

I googled the problem and according to the symptoms, it seems that the ETM (electronic throttle module) could be the culprit.

It's the original unit with the white label on it, I never had problems with it until now and it has never been touched AFAIK.

My car is a 2000 model with 185K on the clock and according to the several posts that I've read, the ETM issue is well known with models produced in 1999, 2000 & 2001.

Now hunting for a used good one!

P1600: ETS malfunction. (electronic throttle system)
P1610: Ignition discharge module (IDM) Group D
P1620: ETS warning lamp output intermittent or erratic operation
P1651: Maximum torque exceeded fuel cut off triggered
