| 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 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 | The ECM signals the throttle actuator to close, but the actuator is stuck (1 trip detection logic) |
|
| P2112 | The ECM signals the throttle actuator to open, but the actuator is stuck (1 trip detection logic) |
|
CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the power switch on (IG) and turn the tester on.
Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC operation).
Turn the power switch off and wait for 30 seconds.
Turn the power switch on (IG) and turn the tester on [A].
Put the engine in inspection mode (maintenance mode) 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 [B].
Read the pending DTCs.
Tech Tips
If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Utility / All Readiness.
Input the DTC: P2111 or P2112.
Check the DTC judgment result.
| Tester Display | Description |
|---|---|
| NORMAL |
|
| ABNORMAL |
|
| INCOMPLETE |
|
| N/A |
|
Tech Tips
If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
FAIL-SAFE
When either of these DTCs, as well as other DTCs relating to 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 6° throttle angle by the return spring. The ECM stops the engine and the vehicle can be driven using solely the hybrid system. 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 power 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 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.
PROCEDURE
CHECK ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P2111 OR P2112)
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the power switch on (IG).
Turn the tester on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / DTC.
Read the DTCs.

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 contamination between the throttle valve and the housing. If necessary, clean the throttle with motor body assembly. And check that the throttle valve moves smoothly.
| OK |
|---|
| Throttle valve is not contaminated with foreign objects and moves smoothly. |

READ VALUE USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (THROTTLE POSITION)
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the power switch on (IG).
Turn the tester on.
Clear the DTCs Click here.
Turn the power switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
Turn the power switch on (IG) and turn the tester on.
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 |
