DTC P2103 Throttle Actuator Control Motor Circuit High

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

DTC Detection Condition:

Throttle motor is operated by the ECM and it opens and closes the throttle valve.

The opening angle of the throttle valve is detected by the throttle position sensor which is mounted on the throttle body and it provides feedback to the ECM to control the throttle motor in order to the throttle valve opening angle properly in response to driving condition.

If this DTC is stored, the ECM shuts down the power for the throttle motor, and the throttle valve is fully closed by the return spring.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT: Read freeze frame data using hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool. Because freeze frame records the engine conditions when the malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, it is useful for determining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, the engine was warmed up or not, the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, etc. at the time of the malfunction.

Step 1 - 2:

Step 3 - 4:

Hand-held tester

Step 1 - 3:

OBD II scan tool (excluding hand-held tester)

CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS

HINT:
Hand-held tester only:
By putting the vehicle's ECM in check mode, 1 trip detection logic is possible instead of 2 trip detection logic and sensitivity to detect open circuits is increased. This makes it easier to detect intermittent problems.

a. Clear the DTCs.
b. Set the check mode.
c. Perform a simulation test.
d. Check the connector and terminal.
e. Handle the connector.
