Where is the throttle actuator control motor located?

The throttle controller is located on top of the engine between the air intake and the intake manifold.

What does a throttle actuator control do?

A Throttle Kicker Actuator is a component of the throttle control which helps to regulate throttle control in situations where additional throttle is needed suddenly or when there is a sudden drop in throttle needed.

What is throttle actuator control module?

Product description. An ACDelco GM Original Equipment Fuel Injection Throttle Control Actuator Module is an electrically operated motor assembly that controls the throttle plate(s), and is a GM-recommended replacement for your vehicle’s original component.

How do you test a throttle actuator control?

Turn the ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the throttle body. Turn the ignition ON, test for 0 volts between each motor control circuit terminal E and F and ground. If greater than 0 volts, test the affected motor control circuit for a short to voltage.

How do I reset my electronic throttle body?

Resetting your electronic throttle control manually can be a tricky job. First, make sure the accelerator pedal is fully released. Next, turn the ignition on and then turn it off and wait for ten seconds. During these ten seconds, be sure the throttle valve is moving by listening for a sound of operation.

How do I know if my throttle actuator is bad?

Here are the most common signs a failing throttle body we’ve seen in our shop:

1. Grime buildup. Dirt and grime can build up inside the part’s housing (some mechanics call this “coking”) causing an interruption in air-fuel flow.
2. Electrical problems.
3. Airflow disruptions.
4. Poor or high idle.
5. The ominous check engine light.

How do you fix a throttle actuator control system stuck open?

What repairs can fix the P2111 code?

1. Replace the TPS. Commonly this will require the throttle body to be replaced as the TPS and the throttle body is an integrated unit.
2. Clean the throttle body.
3. Replace the throttle body.
4. Replacing the PCM. (
5. Repair the wiring.

What causes the p2118 code on a car?

These are the most common causes of the P2118 code: Throttle actuator control motor failure. Failed pedal position sensor. Throttle position sensor faulty. Open or short in the actuator circuit.

When does the PCM set the p2118 code?

Code P2118 is set by the PCM when the Throttle Actuator Control Motor is out of range or not performing properly. The PCM controls the Throttle Actuator Control System by monitoring one or more throttle position sensors.

What is the diagnostic code for throttle actuator control motor?

P2118 is a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) for “Throttle Actuator Control Motor Current Range/Performance”.

What causes the throttle actuator to go into limp mode?

Some malfunctions will cause the PCM to restrict the operation of the Throttle Actuator Control System. This is known as fail-safe or limp mode where the engine is held at idle or may not start at all. The severity of this code can be moderate to severe based on the specific malfunction.
