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 it 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 to control the throttle actuator and set the throttle valve angle in response to driver inputs.

HINT:
This Electronic Throttle Control System (ETCS) does not use a throttle cable.

DTC No.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The ECM concludes 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 will illuminate the MIL and set a DTC.
To activate the monitor, start the engine and fully depress/fully release the accelerator pedal quickly (fully open/fully close the throttle valve).

FAIL-SAFE

If the ETCS has a malfunction, the ECM cuts off current to the throttle actuator. The throttle valve returns to a predetermined opening angle (approximately 16°) by the force of 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 opening angle to enable the vehicle to continue at a minimal speed.
If the accelerator pedal is depressed firmly and slowly, the vehicle can be driven slowly.
If a "pass" condition is detected and then the engine switch is turned off, the fail-safe operation will stop and the system will return to normal.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT:
Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. Freeze frame data records the engine conditions when a malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was running or stopped, 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.

2.CHECK THROTTLE BODY (VISUALLY CHECK THROTTLE VALVE)

  1. Check for foreign matter between the throttle valve and housing. If necessary, clean the throttle body.
    Also, check that the throttle valve moves smoothly.

    OK:
    No foreign matter between the throttle valve and the housing, and throttle valve can move smoothly.
