P2106-ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL SYSTEM - FORCED LIMITED POWER





For a complete wiring diagram refer to the Wiring Information Electrical Diagrams.

- When Monitored:
Ignition on and ETC motor is working.

- Set Condition:
When the PCM requests to limit engine speed if RPM is too high for 20.5 seconds. One trip fault and the code will set within 5 seconds. ETC light is illuminated.





Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting Procedure

1. ACTIVE DTC

NOTE: Diagnose any TP Sensor, IAT Sensor, MAP Sensor, MAF Sensor, Camshaft Sensor, Crankshaft Sensor, 5-Volt Supply, Battery Voltage High, Battery Voltage Low, or any other DTCs before continuing with this diagnostic.

1. Ignition on, engine not running.
2. With a scan tool select View DTCs.
3. In the Freeze Frame data, look at the temperature at which the fault occurred. If it occurred in extreme cold temperatures, Icing of the throttle body may have caused this code to set.
