Diagnostic Test

  1. ACTIVE DTC 
    NOTE:

    Diagnose and repair P2100-ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL CIRCUIT if set with P2107-ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL MODULE PROCESSOR DTC before continuing.

    1. Check for any related TSBs.
    2. Verify the PCM is at the latest calibration (flash level).
      NOTE:

      An intermittent loss of power to the PCM without performing an ETC Relearn procedure may cause this DTC to set.

    3. Flash the Powertrain Control Module in accordance with the Service Information if any updates are available.
    4. Start the engine.
    5. Allow the engine to reach normal operating temperature.
    6. Operate the accelerator pedal. (do not exceed 3500 RPM)
    7. Test drive the vehicle for 10 miles on a flat road surface.
      NOTE:

      Diagnose and repair DTC P2100-ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL CIRCUIT before continuing.

      • Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .

      No 

      • Go To  5
  5. (K124) ETC POSITIVE CIRCUIT SHORTED TO THE (K126) ETC NEGATIVE CIRCUIT 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Measure the resistance between the (K124) ETC Positive circuit and the (K126) ETC Negative circuit at the Throttle Body harness connector.

      Is the resistance below 100 Ohms?

      Yes 

      • Repair the short between the (K124) ETC Positive circuit and the (K126) ETC Negative circuit.
      • Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .

      No 

      • Go To  6
  6. (K124) ETC POSITIVE CIRCUIT OPEN 
    CAUTION:

    Do not probe the PCM harness connectors. Probing the PCM harness connectors will damage the PCM terminals resulting in poor terminal to pin connection. Install the GPEC Diagnostic Adaptor to perform the diagnosis.

    1. Connect the (special tool #10436, Adapter, GPEC Diagnostic).
    2. Measure the resistance of the (K124) ETC Positive circuit from the Throttle Body harness connector to the GPEC Adaptor.

      Is the resistance below 5.0 Ohms?

      Yes 

      • Go To  7

      No 

  7. (K124) ETC POSITIVE CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND

    1. Measure the resistance between ground and the (K124) ETC Positive circuit at the Throttle Body harness connector.

      Is the resistance below 100 Ohms?

      Yes 

      • Repair the short to ground in the (K124) ETC Positive circuit.
      • Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .

      No 

      • Go To  8
  8. (K126) ETC NEGATIVE CIRCUIT OPEN
