DTC    P2119    Throttle Actuator Control Throttle Body Range / Performance

for Preparation Click here


SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The Electronic Throttle Control System (ETCS) is composed of the throttle actuator, Throttle Position (TP) sensor, Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) sensor, and ECM (Included in HV Control ECU). The ECM operates the throttle actuator to regulate the throttle valve in response to driver inputs. The TP sensor detects the opening angle of the throttle valve, and provides the ECM with feedback so that the throttle valve can be appropriately controlled by the ECM.

DTC No.
DTC Detection Condition
Trouble Area
P2119
Throttle valve opening angle continues to vary greatly from target opening angle (1 trip detection logic)
  1. ETCS
  2. HV control ECU

FAIL-SAFE

When this DTC, as well as other DTCs relating to ETCS (Electronic Throttle Control System) malfunctions, is set, the ECM (Included in HV Control ECU) 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 6° 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 engine switch is then turned to off.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT:
Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, 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.

1.CHECK ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P2119)

  1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

  1. Turn the ignition switch ON.

  1. Turn the tester ON.

  1. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / DTC.

  1. Read DTCs.

    HINT:
    If any DTCs other than P2119 are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.

2.CHECK WHETHER DTC OUTPUT RECURS (DTC P2119)

  1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

  1. Put the engine in inspection mode (Click here).

  1. Start the engine.

  1. Turn the tester ON.

  1. Clear DTCs (Click here).

  1. Allow the engine to idle for 15 seconds.

    CAUTION:
    Exercise extreme care and take precautions at steps (f) and (g) below. Failure to do so may result in the vehicle unexpectedly rolling away.

  1. Securely apply the parking brake and move the gear selector lever to the D position.

  1. While depressing the brake pedal securely, fully depress the accelerator pedal for 5 seconds.

  1. On the tester, enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / DTC.

  1. Read DTCs.

    HINT:
    The output voltage of the throttle position sensor can be checked during step (g) using the intelligent tester. Variations in the output voltage indicate that the throttle actuator is in operation. To check the output voltage using the intelligent tester, enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Data List / Throttle POS #1.

    OK:
    No DTC output.
