P2110-ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL - FORCED LIMITED RPMFor a complete wiring diagram Refer to Section 8W.When Monitored:Ignition on and ETC motor is working.Set Condition:When the PCM requests to limit engine speed if PWM is too high for 20.5 seconds and before P2118 sets. One trip fault and the code will set within 5 seconds. ETC light is illuminated.

Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).Diagnostic Test1.ACTIVE DTCWhen this DTC is Active the engine speed, torque, and vehicle speed are limited to a Limp in mode.Ignition on, engine not running.With a scan tool, select View DTCs.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.Diagnose any TP Sensor faults, 5-Volt Supply faults, and Battery Voltage High or Low DTCs before continuing.Is the DTC Active at this time?YesGo To 2NoRefer to the INTERMITTENT CONDITION Diagnostic Procedure.Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)2.THROTTLE PLATE STUCKTurn the ignition off.Remove the Air Cleaner Assembly from the Throttle Body.Check for any signs of a foreign material (ice or dirt) causing the Throttle to stick.Manually open and close the throttle plate using your hands.Does the Throttle Plate move?YesGo To 3NoRemove the debris if possible or replace the Throttle Body Assembly if signs of physical damage are present. Disconnect the Battery when replacing the Throttle
Body Assembly. After installation is complete, use a scan tool and select the ETC RELEARN function.Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)3.(K124) ETC MOTOR (+) CIRCUIT OPENTurn the ignition off.Disconnect the Throttle Body harness connector.Disconnect the C2 PCM harness connector.Do not probe the PCM harness connectors. Probing the PCM harness connectors will damage the PCM terminals resulting in poor terminal to pin connection. Install Miller
Special Tool #8815 to perform diagnosis.Measure the resistance of the (K124) ETC Motor (+) circuit from the Throttle Body harness connector to the appropriate terminal of special tool #8815.Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?YesGo To 4NoRepair the open in the (K124) ETC Motor (+) circuit.Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)4.(K126) ETC MOTOR (-) CIRCUIT OPEN Measure the resistance of the (K126) ETC Motor (-) circuit from the Throttle Body harness connector to the appropriate terminal of special tool #8815.Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?YesGo To 5NoRepair the open in the (K126) ETC Motor (-) circuit.Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)5.(K124) ETC MOTOR (+) CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUNDMeasure the resistance between a known good ground and the (K124) ETC Motor (+) circuit at the appropriate terminal of special tool #8815.Is the resistance below 100 ohms?YesRepair the short to ground in the (K124) ETC Motor (+) circuit.Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)NoGo To 66.(K126) ETC MOTOR (-) CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUNDMeasure the resistance between a known good ground and the (K126) ETC Motor (-) circuit at the appropriate terminal of special tool #8815.Is the resistance below 100 ohms?YesRepair the short to ground in the (K126) ETC Motor (-) circuit.Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)NoGo To 77.ETC MOTORTake the following measurement using special tool #8815 to avoid possible damage to the Throttle Body harness connector.Measure the resistance of the ETC Motor between the (K124) ETC Motor (+) circuit and the (K126) ETC Motor (-) circuit at the appropriate terminals of special tool #8815.Is the resistance between 2.5 and 25 ohms at closed throttle?YesGo To 8NoReplace the Throttle Body Assembly. Disconnect the Battery when replacing the Throttle Body Assembly. After installation is complete, use a scan tool and
select the ETC RELEARN function.Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)8.PCMBefore continuing, check the PCM harness connector terminals for corrosion, damage, or terminal push out. Repair as necessary.Using the schematics as a guide, inspect the wire harness and connectors. Pay particular attention to all Power and Ground circuits.Were there any problems found?YesRepair as necessary.Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)NoReplace and program the Powertrain Control Module per Service Information.Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
