P2104





COMPONENT LOCATION





GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Electronic Throttle Control(ETC) system is made of the components throttle body, Throttle Position Sensor(TPS)1&2 and Accelerator Position Sensor(APS) 1&2. The throttle body contains the actuator, the throttle plate and the throttle position sensor (potentiometer), which are integrated in one housing. The actuator consists of a DC motor with a two-stage gear. 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 control the throttle valve opening angle properly in response to the driving condition.

DTC DESCRIPTION

ECM recognizes vehicle state as forced idle under detecting condition, and sets P2104. MIL(Malfunction Indication Lamp) turns on.

DTC DETECTING CONDITION





SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM





MONITOR SCANTOOL DATA

1. Connect scantool to DLC(Data Link Connector)
2. IG "ON" & Monitor that any different DTC(Diagnostic Trouble Code) is existed.
(There will be at least one more DTC which causes this DTC P2104 to retrieve )
3. P2104 will be stored in addition to related ETS codes.
Repair the cause of the related codes and perform ETS initialization before troubleshooting P2104.
4. Is the same DTC occurred ?
YES
>Substitute with a known-good ECM and check for proper operation. If the problem is corrected,replace ECM and then go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.

NOTE:
There is a memory reset function on scantool that can erase optional parts automatically detected and memorized by ECM.
Before or after testing ECM on the vehicle, use this function before reusing the ECM

NO
> Go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.

** Procedure of ETS Initialization
1. Erase the trouble codes on ECM
2. Turn the ignition key off and keep this condition until the main relay is turned off.(10 sec.)
3. Turn ignition key on more than 1second to record the throttle motor position on the EEPROM

VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR

After a repair, it is essential to verify that the fault has been corrected.
1. Connect scan tool and select "Diagnostic Trouble Codes(DTCs)" mode
2. Press F5(INFO) and confirm that "DTC Readiness Flag" indicates "Complete". If not, drive the vehicle within conditions noted in the freeze frame data or enable conditions
3. Read "DTC Status" parameter
4. Is "History (Not Present)" fault displayed?
YES
> System performing to specification at this time. Clear the DTC
NO
> Go to the applicable troubleshooting procedure.
