What does an electronic throttle control system adjustment fault mean?
1 Answers
The throttle, commonly referred to as the accelerator, is a controllable valve used to regulate the engine's air intake. Fault causes include excessive carbon buildup on the throttle body, the throttle not being in the fully closed position, faults in the throttle position actuator or its circuit/connectors, throttle control module failure, accelerator pedal misalignment, or faults in the electronic control module (PCM or ECM). Additional relevant information is as follows: Fault Diagnosis: Given the presence of a fault indicator light, use a K81 diagnostic tool to read the fault code only. Fault Code: The fault code is P2103. According to the repair manual, the description for DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) P2103 is that the throttle actuator current is 10A or higher for 0.1 seconds, or the throttle actuator current is 7A or higher for 0.68 seconds. The faulty components are the throttle actuator circuit and the throttle actuator.
