What is the throttle body reset method for the Camry?
2 Answers
The throttle body reset method for the Camry is as follows: 1. Turn on the ignition switch without starting the engine, wait for 10 seconds, then fully depress the accelerator pedal and hold it for more than 15 seconds without releasing. 2. After releasing the accelerator pedal, turn off the vehicle power and wait for 15-20 seconds, then turn on the ignition switch and start the engine. The throttle body reset is now complete. 3. If the idle speed becomes higher after the reset, disconnect the negative terminal of the battery for a few minutes to clear the control unit memory, then reconnect it. 4. The Camry throttle body reset requires removing the EFI fuse and the throttle body fuse.
After cleaning the throttle body myself last time, the idle speed kept fluctuating. I researched solutions for several days. The simplest method is the key reset procedure: First, disconnect the negative battery terminal for five minutes. Then turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine, wait until all dashboard lights illuminate and then turn off (about 2-3 minutes). Finally, turn off the key and restart the engine. I tried this method on my 2015 Camry, and the cold start RPM stabilized immediately. For vehicles with start-stop function, remember to disable it before disconnecting the negative terminal to avoid triggering fault codes.
