DTC P2118: Throttle Actuator Current Range/ Performance Problem
- Disconnect the throttle actuator control module 16P connector.
- Measure resistance between throttle actuator control module 16P connector terminals No. 1 and No. 8.Fig 1: Measuring Resistance Between Throttle Actuator Control Module 16P Connector Terminals No. 1 And 8

Is there about 1.0 Ω or less?
YES -Go to step 3.
NO -Substitute a known-good throttle actuator control module (see APP SENSOR REPLACEMENT ), then go to step 6 and recheck. If DTC P2118 is not indicated, replace the original throttle actuator control module (see APP SENSOR REPLACEMENT ), then go to step 6.
- Disconnect the throttle body 6P connector.
- At the throttle body side, measure resistance between throttle body 6P connector terminals No. 5 and No. 6 with the throttle fully closed.Fig 2: Measuring Resistance Between Throttle Body 6P Connector Terminals No. 5 And 6 With Throttle Fully Closed

Is there about 1.0 Ω or less?
YES -Go to step 5.
NO -Repair short in the wires between the throttle body and the throttle actuator control module (motor drive lines), then go to step 6.
- Replace the throttle body (see THROTTLE BODY REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ).
- Reconnect all connectors.
- Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
- Reset the ECM/PCM with the HDS.
- Do the ECM/PCM idle learn procedure (see ECM/PCM IDLE LEARN PROCEDURE ).
- Turn the ignition switch OFF.
- Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
- Slowly press the accelerator pedal to the floor.
- Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.
Is DTC P2118 indicated?
YES -Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the throttle body and the throttle actuator control module, then go to step 1.
NO -Troubleshooting is complete. If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs are indicated, go to the INDICATED DTCS TROUBLESHOOTING .
