Circuit/System Description
A throttle plate actuator is used to achieve high exhaust gas recirculation rates. It increases the pressure difference between exhaust and intake so that the appropriate exhaust quantity can be mixed with the intake air. The ECM transmits the desired angle as a PWM signal to the throttle plate actuator. The throttle plate actuator operates the DC motor to control the throttle plate based on the PWM signal from the ECM. The throttle plate position is monitored by an internal position sensor.
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | The ignition is ON, or the engine is running. |
| • | The throttle actuator motor is commanded ON or OFF. |
| • | The ignition voltage is less than 16 V. |
| • | The DTCs run continuously when the above conditions are met. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The ECM detects an open, short to ground, or a short to voltage on the throttle actuator control circuit for greater than 1 s.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
DTC P2101 is a Type A DTC.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
DTC P2101 is a Type A DTC.

Circuit/System Verification
| 1. | Ignition ON, command the Intake Air Flow Valve Position ON and OFF with a scan tool. The throttle plate should respond to the scan tool commands. |
| 2. | Observe the scan tool DTC information parameter. DTCs P2100, P2101, P2102 or P2103 should not set. |
| 3. | Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC to verify the DTC does not reset. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data. |
Circuit/System Testing
| 1. | Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the Q38 Throttle Body. |
| 2. | Ignition ON, connect a test lamp between control circuit terminal 2 and ground. The test lamp should illuminate. |
| ⇒ | If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module. |
| 3. | Ignition ON, connect a test lamp between control circuit terminal 6 and ground. The test lamp should illuminate. |
| ⇒ | If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module. |
| 4. | Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector X1 at the K20 Engine Control Module. |
| 5. | Ignition ON, connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal 6 and ground. The test lamp should not illuminate. |
| ⇒ | If the test lamp illuminate, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuits test normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module. |
| 6. | Ignition ON, connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal 2 and ground. The test lamp should not illuminate. |
| ⇒ | If the test lamp illuminate, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuits test normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module. |
| 7. | If all circuits test normal, replace the Q38 Throttle Body. |
