Nissan Altima 2007-2012 Service Manual: P2118 throttle control motor
Description
The throttle control motor is operated by the ECM and it opens and closes the throttle valve.
The current opening angle of the throttle valve 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 properly in response to driving condition.

P1574 ASCD vehicle speed sensor
Description
The ECM receives two vehicle speed signals via CAN communication line. One is
sent from combination
meter, and the other is from TCM (Transmission control module). The ECM uses
these signals for ASCD control.
Refer to EC-67, "System Description" for ASCD functions.
