P2119

DTC P2119

Circuit Description

During Battery Saver mode, the powertrain control module (PCM) determines if the throttle plate is returning to the correct de-energized position. If the PCM determines the throttle plate is not at the correct position during battery saver mode, this DTC is set.

DTC Descriptor

This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:

DTC P2119 Throttle Closed Position Performance

Conditions for Running the DTC

* The ignition is ON, and the engine is OFF.
* The ignition voltage is more than 8.5 volts.
* The battery Saver mode is active.
* DTC P2119 runs continuously once each time the above conditions are met.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The PCM detects that the commanded and the actual throttle positions are not within a calibrated range of each other.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The PCM stores conditions which were present when the DTC set as Failure Records only. This information will not be stored as Freeze Frame Records.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

* The DTC becomes history when the conditions for setting the DTC are no longer present.
* The history DTC clears after 40 malfunction free warm-up cycles.
* The PCM receives a clear code command from the scan tool.

Diagnostic Aids

* Inspect for mechanical conditions or binding that may be temperature related.
* Components may not move freely in extreme heat or cold due to the presence of contaminants or ice formation.

Test Description

Step 1 - Step 8:

The number below refers to the step number on the diagnostic table.
8. More than one ETC system related DTC may set. This is due to the many redundant tests run continuously on this system. Locating and repairing one individual condition may correct more than one DTC. Keep this in mind when reviewing captured DTC info.
