Avensis defective throttle valve

Hi, I'm having some trouble with my 2003 Toyota Avensis, gasoline engine, only 61121 km on the clock. I've noticed higher fuel consumption lately and the car's been starting poorly. I've hooked it up to a diagnostic tool and it's showing a defective throttle valve. I reckon it's the accelerator pedal module playing up. Anyone else experienced this?

A 2003 Toyota Avensis with a gasoline engine and low mileage was experiencing higher fuel consumption and poor starting. A diagnostic tool indicated a defective throttle valve, leading to suspicion of a faulty accelerator pedal module. After consulting with others, the owner took the car to a workshop where the accelerator pedal module was confirmed as the issue and subsequently replaced, resolving the problem.

Did this summary help you solve your problem?

Hey, I've got an Avensis too, though I can't recall the exact year. Sounds similar to an issue I had a while back. Any chance you've checked the throttle position sensor?

Thanks for getting back to me. I haven't checked the throttle position sensor specifically. Is that something that can be tested easily, or am I better off just replacing the accelerator pedal module outright?

Well, from my experience, similar symptoms ended up being a faulty accelerator pedal module. At that point I'd suggest taking it to a workshop.

Thanks for the insight! Turns out you were spot on. Took it to the shop, they confirmed the accelerator pedal module was defective, the repair cost me 205€. Runs like a dream now!
