Malibu V6-3.5L VIN 8 (2004)
-
Battery saver mode-After a predetermined time without engine RPM, the PCM commands the battery saver mode. During the battery saver
mode, the TAC module removes the voltage from the motor control circuits, which removes the current draw used to maintain the idle position
and allows the throttle to return to the spring loaded default position.
Reduced Engine Power Mode
When the PCM detects a condition with the TAC system, the PCM may enter a reduced engine power mode. Reduced engine power may cause one or
more of the following conditions:
-
Acceleration limiting-The PCM will continue to use the accelerator pedal for throttle control; however, the vehicle acceleration is limited.
-
Limited throttle mode-The PCM will continue to use the accelerator pedal for throttle control; however, the maximum throttle opening is
limited.
-
Throttle default mode-The PCM will turn off the throttle actuator motor and the throttle will return to the spring loaded default position.
-
Forced idle mode-The PCM will perform the following actions:
-
Limit engine speed to idle by positioning the throttle position, or by controlling the fuel and spark if the throttle is turned off.
-
Ignore the accelerator pedal input.
-
Engine shutdown mode-The PCM will disable fuel and de-energize the throttle actuator.
