DTC P2101:00: Notes

DTC P2101:00 Throttle valve actuator circuit range/performance problem
DETECTION CONDITION 
  • If any of the following conditions continue for a specified period of time or more the PCM detects a malfunction in the throttle valve actuator.
    • The voltage of the motor power supply is 4 V or less  while the motor relay is on.
    • There is a system error in the electrical throttle control system of the PCM.

    Diagnostic support note 

  • This is a continuous monitor (CCM).
  • The check engine light illuminates if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition during the first drive cycle.
  • FREEZE FRAME DATA (Mode 2)/Snapshot data is available.
  • The DTC is stored in the PCM memory.
FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION 
  • Stops the idle air control.
  • Stops the drive-by-wire control and sets to a throttle valve opening angle necessary for the minimum driveability.
  • Limits the vehicle speed to less than 20 km/h {12 mph}  .
POSSIBLE CAUSE 
  • PCM connector or terminals malfunction
  • Main relay malfunction
  • Short to ground or open circuit in main relay power supply circuit:
    • Short to ground in wiring harness between the following terminals:
      • EGI MAIN 40 A fuse-Main relay terminal D
      • EGI MAIN 40 A fuse-Main relay terminal A
    • EGI MAIN 40 A fuse malfunction
    • Open circuit in wiring harness between the following terminals:
      • Battery positive terminal-Main relay terminal D
      • Battery positive terminal-Main relay terminal A
  • Short to ground or open circuit in main relay control circuit:
    • Short to ground in wiring harness between the following terminals:
      • ENG INJ 25 A fuse-PCM terminal 1B
      • ENG INJ 25 A fuse-PCM terminal 1A
      • Main relay terminal E-PCM terminal 1Q
    • ENG INJ 25 A fuse malfunction
    • Open circuit in wiring harness between the following terminals:
      • Main relay terminal C-PCM terminal 1B
      • Main relay terminal C-PCM terminal 1A
      • Main relay terminal E-PCM terminal 1Q
  • TP sensor No. 1 and/or related circuit malfunction
  • TP sensor No. 2 and/or related circuit malfunction
