What is the trouble code for a throttle actuator?

What is the trouble code for a throttle actuator?

This code can be related to a Throttle Actuator Control System malfunction, but normally another issue is setting this code. Trouble code P2106 is triggered by the PCM when it receives an abnormal signal from various components.

Is the throttle actuator controlled by the PCM?

The Throttle Actuator Control System is duty cycle controlled by the PCM and the function of the system is limited when other fault codes are detected. The severity of this code can be moderate to severe based on the specific malfunction.

What does P2106 mean on a throttle actuator?

This code may be related to Throttle Actuator Control System malfunction, but in many cases, there is another issue that sets this code. P2106 is triggered when the PCM receives an abnormally signal from different components.

What are the parts of a throttle control system?

The typical electronic throttle control system usually consists of three main parts – the first is the accelerator pedal module, a throttle body valve that needs to be controlled by an electric motor to determine the opening and closing times, and a powertrain or engine control module.

What are signs or throttle actuator problem?

Signs of a Bad Throttle Body Rough Idling. If you notice your car’s engine stays between 500 to 100 RPM and the engine vibrates frequently, it may be due to a dirty throttle body. Check Engine Light. As soon as the car’s onboard computer detects a problem with the throttle body, it will cause the check engine light to illuminate. Poor Engine Performance.

Where is the throttle control sensor located?

A throttle position sensor (TPS) is a sensor used to monitor the air intake of a engine. The sensor is usually located on the butterfly spindle/shaft so that it can directly monitor the position of the throttle.

Where is the throttle actuator?

The throttle actuator is located at the intake manifold air inlet between the air intake tube and main intake manifold body on top of the engine toward the front in most cases.

What is an actuator control system?

An actuator control system is any electronic, electrical, or electromechanical system used to activate an actuator and control the direction, extent, and duration of its output. Actuator control systems may take the form of extremely simple, manually-operated start-and-stop stations, or sophisticated, programmable computer systems.
