DTC P2118: Throttle Actuator Control Motor Current Range / Performance [10/2013 - ]: Fail-Safe

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

When this DTC or other DTCs relating to electronic throttle control system malfunctions, are stored, the ECM enters fail-safe mode. During fail-safe mode, the ECM cuts the current to the throttle actuator, and the throttle valve is returned to a 5.5° throttle angle by the return spring. The ECM stops the engine and the vehicle can be driven using solely the hybrid system. If the accelerator pedal is depressed firmly and gently, the vehicle can be driven slowly. Fail-safe mode continues until a pass condition is detected, and the power switch is then turned off.
