DTC P2106


DTC P2106	Throttle actuator control system-forced limited power
DETECTION CONDITION	• The PCM monitors the throttle actuator control current when the ignition switch is on. If the control current is less than 8 A or more than 11 A, the PCM determines that the throttle actuator control system is under forced limited power. Diagnostic support note • This is a continuous monitor (CCM). • The MIL illuminates if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition in the first drive cycle. • PENDING CODE is available if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition. • FREEZE FRAME DATA is available. • The DTC is stored in the PCM memory.
POSSIBLE CAUSE	• Throttle actuator malfunction • Connector or terminal malfunction • Open circuit in wiring harness between throttle body terminal A and PCM terminal 1B • Short to power supply in wiring harness between throttle body terminal A and PCM terminal 1B • Short to GND in wiring harness between throttle body terminal A and PCM terminal 1B • Open circuit in wiring harness between throttle body terminal B and PCM terminal 1C • Short to power supply in wiring harness between throttle body terminal B and PCM terminal 1C • Short to GND in wiring harness between throttle body terminal B and PCM terminal 1C • PCM malfunction


STEP	INSPECTION		ACTION
1	VERIFY FREEZE FRAME DATA HAS BEEN RECORDED • Has FREEZE FRAME DATA been recorded?	Yes	Go to the next step.
1		No	Record the FREEZE FRAME DATA on the repair order, then go to the next step.
2	VERIFY RELATED REPAIR INFORMATION AVAILABILITY • Verify related service repair information availability. • Is any related repair information available?	Yes	Perform repair or diagnosis according to the available repair information. • If the vehicle is not repaired, go to the next step.
2		No	Go to the next step.
3	INSPECT THROTTLE BODY CONNECTOR FOR POOR CONNECTION • Turn the ignition switch off. • Disconnect the throttle body connector. • Inspect for poor connection (such as damaged/pulled-out pins, corrosion). • Is there any malfunction?	Yes	Repair or replace the terminal, then go to Step 9.
3		No	Go to the next step.
4	INSPECT THROTTLE ACTUATOR CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO GND • Turn the ignition switch off. • Inspect for continuity between the following circuits: – Throttle body terminal A (wiring harness-side) and body GND – Throttle body terminal B (wiring harness-side) and body GND • Is there continuity?	Yes	Repair or replace the wiring harness for a possible short to GND, then go to Step 9.
4		No	Go to the next step.
5	INSPECT THROTTLE ACTUATOR CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO POWER SUPPLY • Turn the ignition switch to the ON position (Engine off). • Measure the voltage between the following circuits: – Throttle body terminal A (wiring harness-side) and body GND – Throttle body terminal B (wiring harness-side) and body GND • Is the voltage B+?	Yes	Repair or replace the wiring harness for a possible short to power supply, then go to Step 9.
5		No	Go to the next step.
6	INSPECT THROTTLE ACTUATOR • Inspect the throttle actuator. (See Resistance Inspection.) • Is there any malfunction?	Yes	Replace the throttle body, then go to Step 9. (See INTAKE-AIR SYSTEM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
6		No	Go to the next step.
7	INSPECT PCM CONNECTOR FOR POOR CONNECTION • Turn the ignition switch off. • Disconnect the PCM connector. • Inspect for poor connection (such as damaged/pulled-out pins, corrosion). • Is there any malfunction?	Yes	Repair or replace the terminal, then go to Step 9.
7		No	Go to the next step.
8	INSPECT THROTTLE ACTUATOR CIRCUIT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT • Turn the ignition switch off. • Inspect for continuity between the following circuits: – Throttle body terminal A (wiring harness-side) and PCM terminal 1B (wiring harness-side) – Throttle body terminal B (wiring harness-side) and PCM terminal 1C (wiring harness-side) • Is there continuity?	Yes	Go to the next step.
8		No	Repair or replace the wiring harness for a possible open circuit, then go to the next step.
9	VERIFY TROUBLESHOOTING OF DTC P2106 COMPLETED • Make sure to reconnect all disconnected connectors. • Clear the DTC from the PCM memory using the WDS or equivalent. • Start the engine. • Is the same DTC present?	Yes	Replace the PCM, then go to the next step. (See PCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
9		No	Go to the next step.
10	VERIFY AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE • Perform the "AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE". (See AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE.) • Are any DTCs present?	Yes	Go to the applicable DTC inspection. (See DTC TABLE.)
10		No	DTC troubleshooting completed.
