SFI SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:P2102, P2103

DTC Code DTC Name
P2102 Throttle Actuator Control Motor Circuit Low
P2103 Throttle Actuator Control Motor Circuit High

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 sensor, which is mounted on the throttle body with motor 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 ETCS (Electronic Throttle Control System) does not use a throttle cable.

DTC No. DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
P2102

Conditions (a) and (b) are met for 2.0 seconds (1 trip detection logic):

(a) Throttle actuator duty ratio is 80% or more.

(b) Throttle actuator current is below 0.5 A.

  • Open in throttle actuator circuit

  • Throttle actuator

  • ECM
P2103

Either condition is met (1 trip detection logic):


  • There is a hybrid IC diagnosis signal failure.

  • There is a hybrid IC current limiter port failure.

  • Short in throttle actuator circuit

  • Throttle actuator

  • Throttle valve

  • Throttle body with motor assembly

  • ECM

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The ECM monitors the electrical current flowing through the electronic actuator and detects malfunctions and open circuits in the throttle actuator based on this value. If the current is outside the standard range, the ECM determines that there is a malfunction in the throttle actuator. In addition, if the throttle valve does not function properly (for example, if it is stuck on), the ECM determines that there is a malfunction. The ECM then illuminates the MIL and stores a DTC.

Example:

When the electrical current is below 0.5 A and the throttle actuator duty ratio is 80% or more, the ECM interprets this as the current being outside the standard range, illuminates the MIL and stores DTC P2102.

If the malfunction is not repaired successfully, the DTC is stored when the engine is quickly revved to a high rpm several times after the engine is started and has idled for 5 seconds.

FAIL-SAFE

When either of these DTCs 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° opening 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 turned off.

Tech Tips


  • 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.


  • 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 GTS. However, the ECM shuts off the throttle actuator current when the ETCS malfunctions.
