There are 2 designs for the tac parallel and inline.
P2101 throttle actuator control motor circuit range performance.
When the driver presses the accelerator pedal the accelerator pedal position sensor app sends a signal to the engine s control module pcm telling the pcm how much.
What does that mean.
The motor housing is integrated into the main housing.
The parallel design has the motor under the bore parallel to the plate shaft.
Power supply for the throttle control motor is provided to the ecm via the throttle control motor relay.
Both electrical and mechanical issues cannot be overlooked in the troubleshooting stage especially when dealing with an intermittent problem.
P2101 description the throttle actuator is operated by the engine control module ecm and it opens and closes the throttle valve.
P2101 is typically set because of electrical ta a circuit issues but can be caused by mechanical issues such as a mechanically stuck throttle blade on the electrically driven throttle actuator.
This can happen for multiple reasons and a mechanic needs to diagnose the specific cause for this code to be triggered in your situation.
This error code is a generic trouble code meaning it applies to all.
Obd ii code p2101 is defined as a throttle actuator a control motor circuit range performance the electronic throttle control system etcs controls the throttle valve opening.
P2101 ford description the electronic throttle actuator control tac is a dc motor controlled by the powertrain control module.
P2101 is a diagnostic trouble code dtc for throttle actuator control motor circuit range performance.
Power supply for the throttle control.
Throttle actuator control motor current range performance.
