DTC 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 DTC P2100 or P2119 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.
