Conditions for Setting the DTC

P1516

The indicated throttle position does not match the predicted throttle position for greater than 0.5 s.

P2101

The indicated throttle position does not match the predicted throttle position for greater than 0.3 s.

P2119

The ECM determines that the throttle blade did not return to the rest position within 0.720 s.

P2176

The difference between the predicted and the actual throttle position is greater than a calibrated amount for greater than 2 s.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

* DTCs P1516, P2101, and P2176 are Type A DTCs.

* DTC P2119 is a Type C DTC.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

* DTCs P1516, P2101, and P2176 are Type A DTCs.

* DTC P2119 is a Type C DTC.

Diagnostic Aids

* If the Throttle Sweep Test is not available on the scan tool, observe the scan tool TAC Motor parameter while performing the following tests:

- Slowly depress the accelerator pedal to WOT and then slowly return the pedal to closed throttle. Repeat the procedure several times.

- Rapidly depress the accelerator pedal from the rest position to the wide open throttle position (WOT) and release pedal. Repeat the

procedure several times.

The TAC Motor parameter should display Enabled. If Disabled is displayed, continue diagnosis in Circuit/System Testing.

* Inspect for a condition in which the throttle valve may have been held open. For example, ice may have formed in the throttle bore causing

the throttle valve not to close.

* A high resistance condition on the throttle position and throttle actuator control circuits could cause a DTC to set.

* A low battery condition may cause a DTC to set.
