Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview.

Diagnostic Test

1. DTC IS ACTIVE

NOTE: If this DTC sets intermittently, it is possible that the controller is overheating in extremely hot temperatures. This is considered a normal protection operation. No repair is necessary.

NOTE: Low battery voltage can cause excessive current draw in very hot and cold ambient temperatures. Make sure the battery can pass a load test before continuing. Review Freeze Frame information to determine the ambient temperature when the DTC set.

NOTE: This DTC may be set by other DTCs. If P2119 is set with no other DTCs, this does not indicate a faulty Throttle Body.

NOTE: Diagnose and repair any Throttle Position sensor, system voltage, or 5 volt supply DTCs before continuing with this test.

NOTE: Engine coolant temperature must be between 5° C (41° F) and 110° C (230° F), intake air temperature must be greater than 5° C (41° F), and battery voltage must be greater than 10 volts when performing the ETC Relearn function. If these parameters are not met during the relearn process, this DTC may set.

NOTE: Engine coolant temperature must be between 5° C (41° F) and 110° C (230° F), intake air temperature must be greater than 5° C (41° F), and battery voltage must be greater than 10 volts when programming the PCM. If these parameters are not met during the reprogram process, this DTC may set.

Start the engine and allow it to reach normal operating temperature.

WARNING: When the engine is operating, do not stand in direct line with the fan. Do not put your hands near the pulleys, belts, or fan. Do not wear loose clothing. Failure to follow these instructions can result in personal injury or death.

With the scan tool, select View DTCs.

2. THROTTLE PLATE INSPECTION
Turn the ignition off.
Remove the air cleaner assembly.
Check for any signs of a foreign material (ice or dirt) on the throttle plate or in the throttle bore that can cause the throttle plate to stick.
Attempt to manually open and close the throttle plate. Use an appropriate tool that will not damage or mar the throttle body.
Were any problems found?

With the scan tool, perform the ETC Relearn function.
Cycle the ignition off for at least 10 seconds.
Start the engine and allow it to reach normal operating temperature.

WARNING: When the engine is operating, do not stand in direct line with the fan. Do not put your hands near the pulleys, belts, or fan. Do not wear loose clothing. Failure to follow these instructions can result in personal injury or death.

4. THROTTLE FOLLOWER TEST
Ignition on, engine not running.
With a scan tool, perform the Throttle Follower Test and monitor the TP Sensor 1 and TP Sensor 2 voltages.
Slowly press the throttle pedal down.
The voltage for TP Sensor 1 should start at approximately 0.5 volts and increase to approximately 3.3 volts.
The voltage for TP Sensor 2 should start at approximately 4.4 volts and decrease to approximately 1.7 volts.
