P2119 – Throttle Actuator Control Throttle Body Range/Performance

What is the P2119 Code? The P2119 is a generic OBD-II trouble code that indicates a problem with the throttle actuator control (TAC) system. Specifically, it means "Throttle Actuator Control Throttle Body Range/Performance". This code is triggered when the powertrain control module (PCM) detects that the throttle valve is not in the expected position based

P2112 – Throttle Actuator Control System – Stuck Closed

What is P2112? P2112 is a generic OBD-II diagnostic trouble code that indicates the throttle actuator control system is stuck in the closed position. This code applies to vehicles with electronic throttle control (drive-by-wire) systems. In our workshop, we've encountered the P2112 throttle actuator control system fault code across various car makes, but it seems

P2111 – Throttle Actuator Control System – Stuck Open

Introduction The P2111 OBD-II trouble code indicates that the powertrain control module (PCM) has detected the throttle actuator control system is stuck in the open position. This is a serious code that can put the vehicle into "limp mode" with reduced power or prevent it from starting altogether as a safety precaution. Continuing to drive

P2110 – Throttle Actuator Control System – Forced Limited RPM

Code Urgency and Driving Considerations Code P2110 indicates a serious issue with the throttle actuator control system that has forced the engine control module (ECM) into a "limp home" mode, limiting engine RPM. While it may be possible to continue driving cautiously for a short distance, it's recommended to diagnose and repair the underlying issue

P2109 – Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor A Minimum Stop Performance

What is Code P2109? P2109 is a generic OBD-II diagnostic trouble code (DTC) that stands for "Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor 'A' Minimum Stop Performance". It indicates that the powertrain control module (PCM) has detected a fault with the throttle position sensor (TPS) or accelerator pedal position sensor (APPS) minimum stop performance. In our workshop, we've encountered

P2108 – Throttle Actuator Control Module Performance

What is Code P2108? OBD-II diagnostic trouble code (DTC) P2108 stands for "Throttle Actuator Control Module Performance". This code indicates that the powertrain control module (PCM) has detected a malfunction with the throttle actuator control system. In our workshop, we've seen the P2108 code pop up quite frequently, especially on European makes like Volkswagen, Audi,

P2106 – Throttle Actuator Control System – Forced Limited Power

What is Code P2106? P2106 is a generic powertrain diagnostic trouble code that indicates the engine control module (ECM) has detected a major failure in the throttle actuator control system and has gone into a "forced limited power" mode, also known as "limp mode" or "fail-safe mode". This code is triggered when the ECM receives

P2105 – Throttle Actuator Control System – Forced Engine Shutdown

What is Code P2105? P2105 is an OBD-II diagnostic trouble code (DTC) defined as "Throttle Actuator Control System – Forced Engine Shutdown". This code indicates that the powertrain control module (PCM) has detected a serious fault in the electronic throttle control (ETC) system and has commanded the throttle valve to close, forcing the engine into

P2104 – Throttle Actuator Control System – Forced Idle

Code Urgency and Drivability The P2104 code indicates a serious issue with the throttle actuator control (TAC) system that is forcing the engine to remain at idle. When this code is triggered, the vehicle will have very limited or no throttle response and may fail to start. Driving the vehicle is not advisable as the
