What causes the p2111 fault code to go up?

What causes the p2111 fault code to go up?

Weak batteries can cause the current at the electronic throttle motors to go up. Higher than normal under hood temperatures have been known to contribute to this as well. Marginal/weak batteries have been known to set an intermittent P2111 fault code.

When to set the p2111 code on the TAC?

Code P2111 can be set when: the idle position set inside the memory of the PCM does not match the stored TPS voltage when it was closed (idle), or it does not match the actual voltage being sent back from the TPS when the TAC/ETC motors are commanded to the closed position. Note: This code is particularly common on late model Fords.

What does electronic throttle control ( etc ) light mean?

Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Light – Meaning, Function & Causes Back in the day, your vehicle’s throttle body had a wire that connected to the pedal. When you pushed the pedal, you opened the throttle body, and you increased the amount of air that enters your engine.

Can a malfunction indicator light come on at the same time?

While driving, the malfunction indicator light and the electronic throttle control light will both come on at the same time, (the mil will be steady and the etc light will be flashing) and the feeling of a sudden reduction of power.

What does the p2112 code on a car mean?

The P2112 code tells us that the throttle body actuator control system has found a stuck closed throttle plate. When the throttle plate is stuck closed, it will not allow air into the intake manifold system. The Engine Control Unit (ECU) detects the throttle plate actuator stuck closed and triggers a Check Engine Light to be set on the dashboard.

When to set the p2112 Ford engine light?

This hard stop setting is not adjustable and is set to result in less airflow than the minimum engine airflow required at idle. The P2112 code is set when the throttle plate is at a lower angle than commanded. Need more information on how to fix the P2112 FORD code?

What does the p2112 odb2 diagnostic code mean?

All our repairs are backed by our 12-month / 12,000-mile warranty. P2112 is a general ODB2 diagnostic trouble code indicating a fault with the throttle actuator control system. This code may be seen with other throttle body codes. The P2112 code tells us that the throttle body actuator control system has found a stuck closed throttle plate.

When is the p2112 Ford throttle actuator code detected?

Most auto repairs shops charge between $75 and $150 per hour. When is the P2112 FORD code detected? The electronic Throttle Actuator Control (TAC) is a DC motor controlled by the Powertrain Control Module ( PCM ). There are 2 designs for the TAC, parallel and inline. The parallel design has the motor under the bore parallel to the plate shaft.
