P1236 NISSAN Meaning
The throttle control motor is operated by the Engine Control Module (ECM) and it opens and closes the throttle valve. The current throttle valve opening angle is detected by the throttle position sensor and it provides feedback to the ECM to control the throttle control motor to make the throttle valve opening angle correctly in response to the driving condition.
