P2101-ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL MOTOR PERFORMANCE
For a complete wiring diagramRefer to Section 8W.
When Monitored:
With the vehicle running, ETC Motor not in Limp Home mode, and the TPS adaptation is complete.
Set Condition:
The PCM recognizes too large of an error between the actual position of the Throttle Plate and the Set Point
position. One trip fault and the code will set within 5 seconds. Three good trips to turn off the MIL ETC light is
flashing.
Possible Causes
THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY
