DTC P2111 Throttle Actuator Control System - Stuck Open |
DTC P2112 Throttle Actuator Control System - Stuck Closed |
DESCRIPTION
The throttle actuator is operated by the ECM and opens and closes the throttle valve using gears. The opening angle of the throttle valve is detected by the throttle position sensor, which is mounted on the throttle body. The throttle position sensor provides feedback to the ECM so that the ECM can control the throttle actuator (throttle valve) appropriately in response to driver inputs.- HINT:
- This ETCS (Electronic Throttle Control System) does not use a throttle cable.
DTC No. | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
P2111 | Throttle actuator does not close even when the ECM commands it to close (1 trip detection logic). |
|
P2112 | Throttle actuator does not open even when the ECM commands it to open (1 trip detection logic). |
|
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECM determines that there is a malfunction in the ETCS when the throttle valve remains at a fixed angle despite a high drive current from the ECM. The ECM illuminates the MIL and stores a DTC.If the malfunction is not repaired successfully, a DTC is stored when the accelerator pedal is fully depressed and released quickly (to fully open and close the throttle valve) after the engine is next started.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN

- Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the intelligent tester on.
- Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC operation).
- Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the intelligent tester on [A].
- Start the engine and fully depress and release the accelerator pedal quickly (to fully open and close the throttle valve).
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / DTC [B].
- Read the pending DTCs.
- HINT:
- If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
- If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Utility / All Readiness.
- Input the DTC: P2111 or P2112.
- Check the DTC judgment result.
Intelligent Tester Display Description NORMAL - DTC judgment completed
- System normal
ABNORMAL - DTC judgment completed
- System abnormal
INCOMPLETE - DTC judgment not completed
- Perform driving pattern after confirming DTC enabling conditions
N/A - Unable to perform DTC judgment
- Number of DTCs which do not fulfill DTC preconditions has reached ECU memory limit
- HINT:
- If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
- If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
- DTC judgment completed
- If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE or N/A, perform steps [A] through [B] again and, if necessary, drive the vehicle for a period of time.
FAIL-SAFE
When either of these DTCs or other DTCs relating to ETCS (Electronic Throttle Control System) malfunctions are stored, the ECM enters fail-safe mode. During fail-safe mode, the ECM cuts the current to the throttle actuator and the throttle valve is returned to a 6.5° throttle angle by the return spring. The ECM then adjusts the engine output by controlling the fuel injection (intermittent fuel-cut) and ignition timing in accordance with the accelerator pedal position to allow the vehicle to continue at a minimal speed. If the accelerator pedal is depressed firmly and gently, the vehicle can be driven slowly.The ECM continues operating in fail-safe mode until a pass condition is detected, and the ignition switch is then turned off.
WIRING DIAGRAM
Refer to DTC P2102 (HILUX_TGN26 RM000000PFU0PBX_07.html).INSPECTION PROCEDURE
- HINT:
- Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
- Refer to "Data List / Active Test" [Throttle Position Command, Throttle Position No. 1, Throttle Motor Current, Throttle Motor Duty (Open), Throttle Motor Duty (Close)] (HILUX_TGN26 RM000000SXS056X.html).
1.CHECK FOR ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P2111 OR P2112) |
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON.
Turn the intelligent tester on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / DTC.
Read the DTCs.
Result Result Proceed to P2111 or P2112 is output A P2111 or P2112 and other DTCs are output B - HINT:
- If any DTCs other than P2111 or P2112 are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.

2.INSPECT THROTTLE BODY WITH MOTOR ASSEMBLY (VISUALLY CHECK THROTTLE VALVE) |
Check for contamination between the throttle valve and housing. If necessary, clean the throttle body. Also, check that the throttle valve moves smoothly.
- OK:
- Throttle valve is not contaminated with foreign objects and moves smoothly.

OK | |
3.READ VALUE USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (THROTTLE POSITION) |
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON.
Turn the intelligent tester on.
Clear the DTCs (HILUX_TGN26 RM000000PDK0XTX.html).

Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / All Data / Throttle Position No. 1, Throttle Position No. 2 and Throttle Position Command.
Check the values displayed on the intelligent tester while wiggling the ECM wire harness.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / DTC.
Check for DTCs.
