P2119
1UR-FSE ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM: SFI SYSTEM: P2119: Throttle Actuator Control Throttle Body Range / Performance
P2119 - Throttle Actuator Control Throttle Body Range / Performance
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The Electronic Throttle Control System (ETCS) is composed of the throttle actuator, Throttle Position (TP) sensor, Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) sensor, and ECM. The ECM operates the throttle actuator to regulate the throttle valve in response to driver inputs. The TP sensor detects the opening angle of the throttle valve, and provides the ECM with feedback so that the throttle valve can be appropriately controlled by the ECM.
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECM determines the actual opening angle of the throttle valve from the TP sensor signal. The actual opening angle is compared to the target opening angle commanded by the ECM. If the difference between these two values is outside the standard range, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction in the ETCS. The ECM then illuminates the MIL and sets the DTC.
If the malfunction is not repaired successfully, the DTC is set when the accelerator pedal is quickly released (to close the throttle valve) after the engine speed reaches 5000 rpm by fully depressing the accelerator pedal (fully open the throttle valve).

TYPICAL ENABLING CONDITIONS
TYPICAL MALFUNCTION THRESHOLDS
CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN
1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
2. Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the Techstream on.
3. Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure) Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.
4. Turn the engine switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
5. Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the Techstream on [A].
6. Start the engine.
7. Idle the engine for 20 seconds.
8. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes.
9. Read the DTCs [B].
HINT
- If a DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
- If a DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.
10. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness.
11. Input the DTC: P2119.
12. Check the DTC judgment result.
HINT
- If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
- If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE or UNKNOWN, fully depress and release the accelerator pedal 3 times, and then check the DTC judgment result [C].
13. If the test result is INCOMPLETE or UNKNOWN and no DTC is output, perform a universal trip and check for permanent DTCs Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.
HINT
- If a permanent DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
- If no permanent DTC is output, the system is normal.
FAIL-SAFE
When this DTC or other DTCs relating to ETCS (Electronic Throttle Control System) malfunctions are set, the ECM enters fail-safe mode. During fail-safe mode, the ECM cuts the current to the throttle actuator and the throttle valve is returned to a 7° throttle angle by the return spring. The ECM then adjusts the engine output by controlling the fuel injection (intermittent fuel-cut) and ignition timing in accordance with the accelerator pedal opening angle to allow the vehicle to continue running at a minimal speed. If the accelerator pedal is depressed firmly and gently, the vehicle can be driven slowly.
The ECM continues operating in fail-safe mode until a pass condition is detected, and the engine switch is then turned off.

Refer to DTC P2102 P2102.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT
- Read freeze frame data using the Techstream. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
- Refer to "Data List / Active Test" [Throttle Position Commanded, Throttle Position No. 1, Throttle Motor Current, Throttle Motor Duty (Open) and Throttle Motor Duty (Close)] Data List / Active Test.
PROCEDURE
1. CHECK ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P2119)
(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the engine switch on (IG).
(c) Turn the Techstream on.
(d) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes.
(e) Read DTCs.
Result
HINT
If any DTCs other than P2119 are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.
B -- GO TO DTC CHART SFI System
A -- Continue to next step.
2. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (THROTTLE POSITION)
(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the engine switch on (IG).
(c) Turn the Techstream on.
(d) Clear DTCs Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.
(e) Turn the engine switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
(f) Turn the engine switch on (IG).
(g) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Data List / All Data / Throttle Position No. 1 and Throttle Position Command.
(h) Check the values displayed on the Techstream while fully depressing and releasing the accelerator pedal quickly.
Result
HINT
When a DTC is output, the system changes to fail-safe mode. Therefore, only use the data up until the time the DTC is stored for confirmation.
B -- INSPECT THROTTLE BODY (VISUALLY CHECK THROTTLE VALVE)
A -- Continue to next step.
3. INSPECT THROTTLE BODY (RESISTANCE OF THROTTLE ACTUATOR)
(a) Disconnect the E21 throttle body connector.
(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance:
NG -- REPLACE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY
OK -- Continue to next step.
4. INSPECT THROTTLE BODY (VISUALLY CHECK THROTTLE VALVE)
(a) Check for contamination between the throttle valve and housing. If necessary, clean the throttle body. Also, check that the throttle valve moves smoothly.
OK:
Throttle valve is not contaminated with foreign objects and moves smoothly.
NG -- REPLACE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY
OK -- Continue to next step.
5. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (THROTTLE POSITION)
(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the engine switch on (IG).
(c) Turn the Techstream on.
(d) Clear DTCs Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.
(e) Turn the engine switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
(f) Turn the engine switch on (IG).
(g) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Data List / All Data / Throttle Position No. 1, Throttle Position No. 2 and Throttle Position Command.
(h) Check the values displayed on the Techstream while wiggling the ECM wire harness.
(i) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes.
(j) Check for DTCs.
