The document provides troubleshooting steps for a P0068 DTC related to a correlation issue between the mass air flow sensor (MAFS) and throttle position sensor (TPS) signals. The steps include checking the TPS resistance, inspecting connectors, verifying sensor waveforms match specifications, and substituting known good components like the TPS, MAFS, or ECM/PCM as needed. If the repair is successful, the final step is to clear any stored codes and verify through test driving that the issue is resolved without codes returning.

(1) IG "OFF". (2) Disconnect HO2S(S2) connector. (3) Measure resistance between terminal 3 and 4 of HO2S(S2) (Component Side) Specification : ITEM Specification Heater Resistance(Ω) Approx. 9.0Ω at 20°C (68°F)
(4) Is the measured resistance within specification?
Substitute with a known - good ECM/PCM and check for proper operation. If the problem is corrected, replace ECM/PCM and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
Substitute with a known - good HO2S(S2) and check for proper operation. If the problem is corrected, replace HO2S(S2) and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR
After a repair, it is essential to verify that the fault has been corrected. 1. Connect scan tool and select "Diagnostic Trouble Codes(DTCs)" mode. 2. Clear the DTCs and Operate the vehicle within DTC Enable conditions in General information. 3. Are any DTCs present ?
Go to the applicable troubleshooting procedure.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION The Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) is mounted on the throttle body and detects the opening angle of the throttle plate. The TPS has a variable resistor (potentiometer) whose characteristic is the resistance changing according to the throttle angle. During acceleration, the TPS resistance between the reference 5V and the signal terminal decreases and output voltage increases; during deceleration, the TPS resistance increases and TPS output voltage decreases. The ECM/PCM supplies a reference 5V to the TPS and the output voltage increases directly with the opening of the throttle valve. The TPS output voltage will vary from 0.2~0.8V at closed throttle to 4.3~4.8V at wide-open throttle. The ECM/PCM determines operating conditions such as idle (closed throttle), part load, acceleration/deceleration, and wide-open throttle from the TPS. Also The ECM/PCM uses the Mass Air Flow Sensor (MAFS) or Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor (MAPS) signal along with the TPS signal to adjust fuel injection duration and ignition timing.
DTC DESCRIPTION If the sensor input value of TPS is lower or higher than the threshold value which is depending on MAF more 300sec, ECM/PCM sets DTC P0068.
DTC DETECTING CONDITION
Item Detecting Condition Possible Cause • Rationality check DTC Strategy (Correlation of actual and secondary load) Enable • Correction factor for secondary load > 1.2 or Correction factor Conditions for secondary load < 0.8 • Poor connection Threshold • TPS • Time for secondary load adaptation > 300s Value • MAFS Diagnostic • ECM/PCM • 1sec Time MIL ON • 2 driving cycle Condition
1. Connect scantool to Data Link Connector(DLC). 2. Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature. 3. Monitor the "TPS and MAFS" parameters on the scantool.
4. Is parameter displayed within specifications?
Fault is intermittent caused by poor contact in the sensor’s and/or ECM’s connector or was repaired and ECM/PCM memory was not cleared. Thoroughly check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, tamination, deterioration, or damage. Repair or replace as necessary and go to "Verification of vehicle Repair" procedure.
Go to "Terminal and Connector Inspection" procedure.
TERMINAL AND CONNECTOR INSPECTION
1. Many malfunctions in the electrical system are caused by poor harness and terminals. Faults can also be caused by interference from other electrical systems, and mechanical or chemical damage. 2. Thoroughly check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or damage. Page 112 of 753 3. Has a problem been found?
Repair as necessary and go to "Verification of vehicle Repair" procedure.
(4) Is the measured resistance within specifications?
Go to "Check ECM/PCM" as below.
Check TPS for contamination, deterioration, or damage. Substitute with a known-good TPS and check for proper operation. If the problem is corrected, replace TPS and then go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure. Page 113 of 753 2. Check ECM/PCM. (1) Key "OFF". (Don't disconnect sensors.) (2) Select "vehicle scopemeter" in the menu, and connect channel A of scantool with terminal 1 of TPS harness connector. (3) Connect channel B of scantool with terminal 3 of MAFS harness connector. (4) Engine start. And check the signal waveforms with stepping on accelerator pedal.
(5) Is the signal waveform within specifications?
Substitute with a known-good ECM/PCM and check for proper operation. If the problem is corrected, rep ECM/PCM and then go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
Substitute the sensor which outputs abnormal waveform with a known-good sensor and check for proper operation. If the problem is corrected, replace the sensor and then go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" proce
