Title: 2UZ-FE ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM: SFI SYSTEM: P2111,P2112; Throttle Actuator Control System - Stuck Open; 2007 MY LX470 [08/2006 -        ]

DTC

P2111

Throttle Actuator Control System - Stuck Open

DTC

P2112

Throttle Actuator Control System - Stuck Closed

DESCRIPTION

The throttle actuator is operated by the ECM, and it opens and closes the throttle valve using gears. The opening angle of the throttle valve is detected by the throttle position sensor, which is mounted on the throttle body. The throttle position sensor provides feedback to the ECM to control the throttle actuator and set the throttle valve angle in response to driver inputs.

HINT:

This Electronic Throttle Control System (ETCS) does not use a throttle cable.

DTC No.

DTC Detection Conditions

Trouble Areas

P2111

ECM tries to close throttle valve but throttle position is stuck

(1 trip detection logic)

  • Throttle actuator
  • Throttle body
  • Throttle valve

P2112

ECM tries to open throttle valve but throttle position is stuck

(1 trip detection logic)

  • Throttle actuator
  • Throttle body
  • Throttle valve

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The ECM determines that there is a malfunction in the ETCS when the throttle valve remains at a fixed angle despite a high drive current from the ECM. The ECM illuminates the MIL and sets a DTC.

If the malfunction is not repaired successfully, a DTC is set when the accelerator pedal is fully depressed and released quickly (to fully open and close the throttle valve) after the engine is next started.

FAIL-SAFE

When any of these DTCs, as well as other DTCs relating to Electronic Throttle Control System (ETCS) malfunctions, are set, the ECM enters fail-safe mode. During fail-safe mode, the ECM cuts the current to the throttle actuator off, and the throttle valve is returned to a 7°throttle angle by the return spring. The ECM then adjusts the engine output by controlling the fuel injection (intermittent fuel-cut) and ignition timing, in accordance with the accelerator pedal opening angle, to allow the vehicle to continue at a minimal speed.

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 ignition switch is then turned OFF.

WIRING DIAGRAM

Refer to DTC P2102 2007 MY LX470 [08/2006 -        ]; 2UZ-FE ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM: SFI SYSTEM: P2102,P2103; Throttle Actuator Control Motor Circuit Low+ .

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT:

Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. Freeze frame data records the engine conditions when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was running or stopped, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

PROCEDURE

1.

CHECK ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P2111 OR P2112)

(a) Connect the intelligent tester to the CAN VIM. Then connect the CAN VIM to the DLC3.

(b) Turn the ignition switch ON and turn the intelligent tester ON.

(c) Enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DTC INFO / CURRENT CODES.

(d) Read the DTCs.

HINT:

If any DTCs other than P2111 or P2112 are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.

2.

CHECK THROTTLE BODY (VISUALLY CHECK THROTTLE VALVE)

(a) Check for foreign matter between the throttle valve and housing. If necessary, clean the throttle body.

Also, check that the throttle valve moves smoothly.

OK:

No foreign matter between the throttle valve and the housing, and throttle valve can move smoothly.

NG

REPLACE THROTTLE BODY

OK

3.

CHECK WHETHER DTC OUTPUT RECURS (DTC P2111 OR P2112)

(a) Connect the intelligent tester to the CAN VIM. Then connect the CAN VIM to the DLC3.

(b) Turn the ignition switch ON and turn the intelligent tester ON.

(c) Clear the DTC 2007 MY LX470 [08/2006 -        ]; 2UZ-FE ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM: SFI SYSTEM: DTC CHECK / CLEAR .

(d) Start the engine, and depress and release the accelerator pedal quickly (fully open and close the throttle valve).

(e) Enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DTC INFO / CURRENT CODES.

(f) Read DTC.
