SFI SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:P2119

DTC Code DTC Name
P2119 Throttle Actuator Control Throttle Body Range / Performance

DESCRIPTION

The electronic throttle control system 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 target opening angle (1 trip detection logic)

  • Electronic throttle control system

  • ECM

FAIL-SAFE

When this DTC, as well as other DTCs relating to electronic throttle control system malfunctions, is set, the ECM enters fail-safe mode. During fail-safe mode, the ECM cuts the current to the throttle actuator off, and the throttle valve is returned to a 6° 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 at a minimal speed. If the accelerator pedal is depressed slowly, 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

Tech Tips

Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can be helpful in determining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, whether the engine was warmed up or not, whether the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, as well as other data recorded at the time of a malfunction.

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P2119)


    1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the ignition switch on (IG).

    3. Turn the tester on.

    4. Select the following menu items: Powertrain / Engine and ECT/ DTC.

    5. Read the DTCs.

      Tech Tips

      If any DTCs other than P2119 are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.

  2. CHECK WHETHER DTC OUTPUT RECURS (DTC P2119)


    1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3 (Procedure "A").

    2. Turn the ignition switch on (IG) (Procedure "B").

    3. Turn the tester on (Procedure "C").

    4. Clear the DTCs Click here (Procedure "D").

    5. Allow the engine to idle for 15 seconds (Procedure "E").

      CAUTION:

      Perform the procedures "F" and "G" below with great care. Failure to do so may result in the vehicle unexpectedly rolling away.

    6. Securely apply the parking brake and move the gear selector lever to the D position (Procedure "F").

    7. While depressing the brake pedal securely, fully depress the accelerator pedal for 5 seconds (Procedure "G").

    8. Select the following menu items on the tester: Powertrain / Engine and ECT (Procedure "H").

    9. Read the DTCs (Procedure "I").

      Tech Tips

      The voltage output of the throttle position sensor can be checked during procedure "G" using the intelligent tester. Variations in the voltage output indicate that the throttle actuator is in operation. To check the voltage Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Throttle Position No. 1 or Throttle Position No. 2.

      OK
      No DTC output.
