Summary
The  Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED) manual has been revised  for diagnosing electronic throttle bodies (ETBs). The ETC_ACT and  ETC_DSD PIDs should not used to diagnose possible ETB concerns. The IDS  has a limited refresh rate when reading these PIDs and cannot display  quickly enough to validate a concern. The PCM automatically monitors  these inputs more accurately and will set diagnostic trouble codes  (DTCs) when appropriate. Using these PIDs for diagnostics will lead to  inaccurate results and improper ETB replacements. If a concern is  intermittent and no DTCs are present, refer to historical DTCs and the  PC/ED, Section 3 No DTCs Present Index chart for further information.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!
