DTC P2119 Throttle Actuator Control Throttle Body Range / Performance |
DESCRIPTION
The Electronic Throttle Control System (ETCS) is composed of the throttle actuator, throttle position sensor, accelerator pedal position sensor and ECM. The ECM operates the throttle actuator to regulate the throttle valve in response to driver inputs. The throttle position sensor detects the opening angle of the throttle valve, and provides the ECM with feedback so that the throttle valve can be appropriately controlled by the ECM.| DTC No. | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
| P2119 | Throttle valve opening angle continues to vary greatly from the target opening angle (1 trip detection logic). |
|
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECM determines the actual opening angle of the throttle valve from the throttle position sensor signal. The actual opening angle is compared to the target opening angle calculated by the ECM. If the difference between these two values is outside the standard range, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction in the ETCS. The ECM then illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC.If the malfunction is not repaired successfully, the DTC is stored when the accelerator pedal is quickly released (to close the throttle valve) after the engine speed reaches 5000 rpm by the accelerator pedal being fully depressed (fully opening the throttle valve).
FAIL-SAFE
When this DTC 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 7° 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.

Refer to DTC P2102 (Click here).INSPECTION PROCEDURE
- HINT:
- Refer to "Data List / Active Test" [Throttle Position Commanded, Throttle Position No. 1, Throttle Motor Current, Throttle Motor Duty (Open) and Throttle Motor Duty (Close)] (Click here).
- Read freeze frame data using the GTS. 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.
| 1.CHECK FOR ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P2119) |
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON.
Turn the GTS on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes.
Read the DTCs.
Result Result Proceed to P2119 is output A P2119 and other DTCs are output B - HINT:
- If any DTCs other than P2119 are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.

| 2.READ VALUE USING GTS (THROTTLE POSITION) |
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON.
Turn the GTS on.
Clear the DTCs (Click here).
Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
Turn the ignition switch to ON.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / All Data / Throttle Position No. 1 and Throttle Position Command.
Check the values displayed on the GTS while fully depressing and releasing the accelerator pedal quickly.
Result Result Proceed to Throttle Position No. 1 does not change A Throttle Position No. 1 changes even a little B - HINT:
- When a DTC is output, the system changes to fail-safe mode. Therefore, only use the data up until the time the DTC is stored for confirmation.

| 3.INSPECT THROTTLE BODY WITH MOTOR ASSEMBLY (RESISTANCE OF THROTTLE ACTUATOR) |
Inspect the throttle body with motor assembly (Click here).
|
| ||||
| OK | |
| 4.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 with motor assembly. Also, check that the throttle valve moves smoothly.
- OK:
- Throttle valve is not contaminated with foreign objects and moves smoothly.
|
| ||||
| OK | |
| 5.READ VALUE USING GTS (THROTTLE POSITION) |
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON.
Turn the GTS on.
Clear the DTCs (Click here).
Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
Turn the ignition switch to ON.
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 GTS while wiggling the ECM wire harness.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes.
Check for DTCs.
Result Result Proceed to Value in Data List changes when wire harness is wiggled, or DTC is output A Other than above B

| 8.CHECK WHETHER DTC OUTPUT RECURS (DTC P2119) |
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON.
Turn the GTS on.
Clear the DTCs (Click here).
Allow the engine to idle for 15 seconds or more.
Fully depress and release the accelerator pedal several times quickly.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes.
Read the DTCs.
Result Result Proceed to No DTC is output A DTC P2119 is output B
