Hey all. I am looking for the procedure to clean the throttle body on my 2015 pathfinder. I have the FSM except for the "FWD" index doc and I can't find any mention of how to clean it. Most youtube people say don't move the butterfly or you will mess it up. Others just jam their finger in there and move it. Some remove the throttle body entirely from the car to spray it with throttle body cleaner, some just spray it as it is on the car. I understand i probably have to do the Accelerator Pedal Released Position & Throttle Valve Closed Position Learning once done. I just want to do it right.

What's wrong with it?
I have a 2002 Pathy and cannot remember the last time I accessed the throttle body.
It has never given me a problem, and hasn't been cleaned or touched in years. Runs great.
If there's nothing wrong, then leave it alone, I'd say.
