TSB Revision

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <2.4L ENGINE>

13A-845

DTC P2101: Throttle Actuator Control Motor Magneto Malfunction

.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

• Controls the current that is applied from PCM 

(terminals No. 141, No. 147) to the throttle actua-
tor control motor (terminals No. 1, No. 2)

.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

• PCM check whether the throttle actuator control 

motor magneto has failed.

.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS
Throttle actuator control motor intelligent power 

device detects it is overheating.

MONITOR EXECUTION
Continuous

.

MONITOR EXECUTION CONDITIONS (Other 
monitor and Sensor)

Other Monitor (There is no temporary DTC stored 

in memory for the item monitored below)

• Not applicable

Sensor (The sensor below is determined to be 

normal)

• Not applicable

.

DTC SET CONDITIONS

Check Condition

• Battery positive voltage is higher than 8.3 volts.

Judgement Criteria

• The coil temperature of the throttle actuator con-

trol motor should be 180

°C (356°F) or higher for 

0.8 second.

.

OBD-II DRIVE CYCLE PATTERN
None.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (The most likely 
causes for this code to be set are:)

• Throttle actuator control motor failed.

• Shorted throttle actuator control motor circuit, 

harness damage or connector damage.

• PCM failed.

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

• MB991958: Scan tool (MUT-III Sub Assembly)

• MB991824: V.C.I.

• MB991827: USB Cable

• MB991910: Main Harness A

STEP 1. Check harness connector B-06 at throttle actuator 
control motor for damage.

Q: Is the harness connector in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 2.
NO :  Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness 

Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

. Then go to Step 7.

STEP 2. Check the throttle actuator control motor.

(1) Disconnect the connector B-06.

(2) Measure the resistance between throttle actuator control 

motor side connector terminal No. 1 and No. 2.

Standard value: 0.3 

− 80 ohms [at 20°C (68°F)]

Q: Is the measured resistance between 0.3 and 80 ohms [at 

20

°C (68°F)]?

YES : Go to Step 3.
NO :  Replace the throttle body assembly. Then go to Step 

7.

STEP 3. Check harness connector B-23 at PCM for damage

Q: Is the harness connector in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO :  Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness 

Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

. Then go to Step 7.

STEP 4. Check for short circuit to ground and harness 
damage between throttle actuator control motor connector 
B-06 (terminal No. 1) and PCM connector B-23 (terminal 
No. 147).

Q: Is the harness wire in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 5.
NO :  Repair it. Then go to Step 7.
