DTC P2100: Throttle Actuator Control Motor Circuit (open)

CIRCUIT OPERATION

Controls the current that is applied from the ECM (terminals No. 15, No. 16) to the throttle actuator control motor (terminals No. 1, No. 2).

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

ECM varies the direction and the amperage of the current that is applied to the throttle actuator control motor in order to control the opening of the throttle valve.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS

The voltage difference between the throttle position sensor output voltage and the throttle position sensor output at the throttle actuator control motor relay off is smaller than the specified value.

DTC SET CONDITIONS

Check Conditions

Battery positive voltage is higher than 8.3 volts.
The output voltage of the throttle position sensor (main) minus the proposed output voltage becomes 0.1 volt or more.
The output voltage of the throttle position sensor (sub) minus the proposed output voltage becomes 0.1 volt or more.
The drive duty of the throttle actuator control motor is 100 percent or more.
Except while during cranking.

Judgement Criterion

For 0.4 second, the difference between the output voltage of throttle position sensor (main) and the learning value of the middle-opened degree is 0.2 volt or less.

For 0.4 second, the difference between the output voltage of throttle position sensor (sub) and the learning value of the middle-opened degree is 0.2 volt or less.

FAIL-SAFE AND BACKUP FUNCTION

Throttle opening degree position is in default position.

Open throttle actuator control motor circuit, harness damage or connector damage.
ECM failed.

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

MB991958: Scan tool (M.U.T.-III Sub Assembly)

MB991824: V.C.I.
MB991827: USB Cable
MB991910: Main Harness A

STEP 1. Check harness connector B-11 at throttle actuator control motor for damage.

Q. Is the harness connector in good condition?

	Go to Step 2.

	Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection . Then go to Step 9.

STEP 2. Check the throttle actuator control motor.

(1)Disconnect the connector B-11.

(2)Measure the resistance between throttle actuator control motor side connector terminal No. 1 and No. 2.
Standard value: 0.3 - 80 Ω [at 20°C (68°F)]

Q. Is the measured resistance between 0.3 and 80 Ω [at 20°C (68°F)]?

Go to Step 3.

Replace the throttle body assembly. Then go to Step 9.

STEP 3. Check harness connector B-10 at ECM for damage

Q. Is the harness connector in good condition?

	Go to Step 4.

	Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection . Then go to Step 9.

STEP 4. Check the continuity at ECM harness side connector B-10.

(1)Disconnect the connector B-10 and measure at the harness side.

(2)Measure the continuity between terminals No. 71, No. 83 and ground.

Continuity (2 ohms or less)

Q. Does continuity exist?

Go to Step 5.

Repair harness wire between ECM connector B-10 (terminals No. 71, No. 83) and ground because of open circuit or harness damage. Then go to Step 9.

STEP 5. Check harness connector B-09 at ECM for damage.

Q. Is the harness connector in good condition?

	Go to Step 6.

	Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection . Then go to Step 9.

STEP 6. Check for open circuit and harness damage between throttle actuator control motor connector B-11 (terminal No. 1) and ECM connector B-09 (terminal No. 15).

Q. Is the harness wire in good condition?

	Go to Step 7.

	Repair it. Then go to Step 9.

STEP 7. Check for open circuit and harness damage between throttle actuator control motor connector B-11 (terminal No. 2) and ECM connector B-09 (terminal No. 16).

Q. Is the harness wire in good condition?

	Go to Step 8.

	Repair it. Then go to Step 9.

STEP 8. Using scan tool MB991958, read the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).

caution

To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before connecting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958.

(1)Connect scan tool MB991958 to the data link connector.
(2)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3)After the DTC has been deleted, read the DTC again.
(4)Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q. Is DTC P2100 set?

Replace the ECM. When the ECM is replaced, register the ID code. Refer to GROUP 42B, ID Code Registration Necessity Judgment Table <Vehicles with KOS>

or GROUP 42C, ID Codes Registration Judgment Table <Vehicles with WCM>

. Then go to Step 9.

It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent. Refer to GROUP 00, How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions

STEP 9. Using scan tool MB991958, read the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).

caution

To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before connecting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958.

Q. Is DTC P2100 set?

Retry the troubleshooting.

The inspection is complete.
