Diagnosis Procedure

  1. CHECK DTC PRIORITY 

    If DTC P2101 is displayed with DTC P2100 or P2119, first perform the confirmation procedure for DTC P2100 or P2119.

    Is applicable DTC detected?

    YES

    Perform diagnosis of applicable.

    NO

    GO TO 2.

  2. CHECK THROTTLE CONTROL MOTOR RELAY INPUT SIGNAL 

    Check the voltage between ECM harness connector terminals as per the following conditions.

    Is the inspection result normal?

    YES

    GO TO  5.

    NO

    GO TO 3.

  3. CHECK THROTTLE CONTROL MOTOR RELAY INPUT SIGNAL CIRCUIT 
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect ECM harness connector.
    3. Disconnect IPDM E/R harness connector.
    4. Check the continuity between ECM harness connector and IPDM E/R harness connector.

    YES

    GO TO 7.

    NO

    Repair or replace error-detected parts.

  7. CHECK ELECTRIC THROTTLE CONTROL ACTUATOR VISUALLY 
    1. Remove the intake air duct. Refer to Exploded View .
    2. Check if foreign matter is caught between the throttle valve and the housing.

    Is the inspection result normal?

    YES

    GO TO 8.

    NO
