ECD SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:P2141, P2142

DTC Code DTC Name
P2141 Diesel Throttle Motor Circuit Low
P2142 Diesel Throttle 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 diesel throttle body assembly.

DTC No. Detection Item DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area MIL Memory

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, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

PROCEDURE


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


    1. Inspect the diesel throttle body assembly.

  2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (DIESEL THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY - ECM)


    1. Disconnect the diesel throttle body assembly connector.

    2. Disconnect the ECM connector.

    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      Y1-2 (M+) - C60-6 (M+) Always Below 1 Ω
      Y1-1 (M-) - C60-5 (M-) Always Below 1 Ω
      Y1-2 (M+) or C60-6 (M+) - Body ground and other terminals Always 10 kΩ or higher
      Y1-1 (M-) or C60-5 (M-) - Body ground and other terminals Always 10 kΩ or higher

    4. Reconnect the diesel throttle body assembly connector.

  5. CONFIRM WHETHER MALFUNCTION HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY REPAIRED


    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

    3. Turn the GTS on.

    4. Clear the DTCs.


      Powertrain > Engine and ECT > Clear DTCs

    5. Turn the ignition switch off and wait for 30 seconds.

    6. Start the engine.

    7. Idle the engine for 5 seconds or more.

    8. Turn the GTS on.

    9. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes.

    10. Confirm that the DTC is not output.
