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:
