DTC P2101-00; Throttle Valve Actuator Control Motor Circuit Range/Performance Problem: Notes

DETECTION CONDITION AND POSSIBLE CAUSE

DTC P2101:00 Throttle valve actuator control motor circuit range/performance problem
DETECTION CONDITION
  • The PCM turns the main relay on, but if the input voltage is 6.0 V or less, then the PCM determines that the main relay control circuit voltage is low.
  • 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/Snapshot data is available.
  • DTC is stored in the PCM memory.
FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION
  • Restricts the upper limit of the engine speed.
  • Stops the drive-by-wire control (throttle valve is open at approx. 8 ° by return spring force).
POSSIBLE CAUSE
  • Short to ground or open circuit in main relay power supply circuit:
    • MAIN 200 A fuse and/or ENG.MAIN 40 A fuse malfunction
  • ENGINE2 15 A fuse malfunction
  • Short to ground in wiring harness between the following terminals:
    • Main relay terminal C-PCM terminal 1CK
    • Main relay terminal C-PCM terminal 2S
      • Main relay terminal E-PCM terminal 2K
  • PCM connector or terminals malfunction
  • Open circuit in wiring harness between the following terminals:
    • Main relay terminal C-PCM terminal 1CK
    • Main relay terminal C-PCM terminal 2S
      • Main relay terminal E-PCM terminal 2K
  • Throttle valve actuator and/or related circuit malfunction
  • Throttle valve actuator malfunction
  • PCM malfunction
