DTC    P2102    Throttle Actuator Control Motor Circuit Low

DTC    P2103    Throttle Actuator Control Motor Circuit High

for Preparation Click here


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 (TP) sensor, which is mounted on the throttle body. The TP sensor provides feedback to the ECM. This feedback allows the ECM to appropriately control the throttle actuator and monitor the throttle opening angle as the ECM responds to driver inputs.

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

DTC No.
DTC Detection Condition
Trouble Area
P2102
Both of the following conditions continue for 2.0 seconds
(1 trip detection logic):
  1. (a) The throttle actuator duty ratio 80% or more
  2. (b) The throttle actuator current is below 0.5 A
  1. Open in throttle actuator circuit
  2. Throttle actuator (built into throttle body assembly)
  3. ECM
P2103
Either of the following conditions (a) and (b) are met
(1 trip detection logic):
  1. (a) A hybrid IC diagnosis signal failure
  2. (b) A hybrid IC current limiter port failure
  1. Short in throttle actuator circuit
  2. Throttle actuator (built into throttle body assembly)
  3. Throttle valve
  4. Throttle body assembly
  5. ECM


FAIL-SAFE

When either of these DTCs, as well as other DTCs relating to ETCS (Electronic Throttle Control System) malfunctions, is 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 5.5° 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 opening angle, to allow the vehicle to continue running at a minimal speed. If the accelerator pedal is depressed firmly and gently, the vehicle can be driven slowly.
Fail-safe mode continues until a pass condition is detected, and the ignition switch is then turned off.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT:
  1. 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.
  2. The throttle actuator current (Throttle Motor Current) and the throttle actuator duty ratio (Throttle Motor Duty (Open) / Throttle Motor Duty (Close)) can be read using the Techstream. However, the ECM shuts off the throttle actuator current when the ETCS malfunctions.

1.INSPECT THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY (RESISTANCE OF THROTTLE ACTUATOR)

3.INSPECT THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY (VISUALLY CHECK THROTTLE VALVE)

  1. Check for foreign objects between the throttle valve and housing.

OK:
No foreign objects between the throttle valve and housing



NG

OK


4.INSPECT THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY (THROTTLE VALVE)

  1. Check if the throttle valve opens and closes smoothly.

OK:
Throttle valve opens and closes smoothly.
