DTC P2119

Throttle actuator control throttle body range/performance problem

DETECTION CONDITION

The PCM compares the TP with default TP when the ignition switch is turned off. If the TP is higher than the default TP, the PCM determines that there is a throttle valve return spring malfunction.

Diagnostic support note

This is a continuous monitor (CCM).
The MIL illuminates if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition in two consecutive drive cycles or in one drive cycle while the DTC for the same malfunction has been stored in the PCM.
PENDING CODE is available if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition during the first drive cycle.
FREEZE FRAME DATA (Mode 2/Mode 12) is available.
The DTC is stored in the PCM memory.

POSSIBLE CAUSE

Drive-by-wire control system malfunction
Throttle actuator malfunction
Throttle valve malfunction
PCM malfunction
