| DTC Code | DTC Name |
|---|---|
| P2111 | Throttle Actuator Control System - Stuck Open |
| P2112 | Throttle Actuator Control System - Stuck Closed |
DESCRIPTION
The throttle actuator is operated by the ECM, and opens and closes the throttle valve using an electric motor and gears. The opening angle of the throttle valve is detected by the throttle position sensor, which is mounted on the throttle with motor body assembly. The throttle position 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.
Tech Tips
This electronic throttle control system does not use a throttle cable.
| DTC No. | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
|---|---|---|
| P2111 | ECM signals throttle actuator to close, but the actuator is stuck (1 trip detection logic) |
|
| P2112 | ECM signals throttle actuator to open, but the actuator is stuck (1 trip detection logic) |
|
FAIL-SAFE
When either of these DTCs, 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, 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 angle, to allow the vehicle to continue running at a minimal speed. If the accelerator pedal is depressed gently, the vehicle can be driven slowly.
Fail-safe mode continues until a pass condition is detected, and the engine 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
CHECK ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P2111 OR P2112)
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the engine switch on (IG).
Turn the tester on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / DTC.
Read DTCs.
| Result | Proceed to |
|---|---|
| P2111 or P2112 is output | A |
| P2111 or P2112 and other DTCs are output | B |
Tech Tips
If any DTCs other than P2111 or P2112 are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.

INSPECT THROTTLE WITH MOTOR BODY ASSEMBLY (VISUALLY CHECK THROTTLE VALVE)
Check for foreign objects between the throttle valve and the housing. If necessary, clean the throttle with motor body assembly. Then check that the throttle valve moves smoothly.
| OK |

READ VALUE USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (THROTTLE POSITION)
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the engine switch on (IG).
Turn the tester on.
Clear the DTCs Click here.
Turn the engine switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
Turn the engine switch on (IG).
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 tester while wiggling the ECM wire harness.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / DTC.
Check for DTCs.
| Result | Proceed to |
|---|---|
| Value in Data List changes when wire harness is wiggled, or DTC is output* | A |
| Other than above | B |
*: As the DTC was stored due to a change in the contact resistance of the connector, repair or replace the wire harness or connector Click here.

CHECK WHETHER DTC OUTPUT RECURS (DTC P2111 OR P2112)
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the engine switch on (IG).
Turn the tester on.
Clear the DTCs Click here.
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.
