DTC Advanced Diagnostics: P2119 (3.0L Engine)
DTC P2119: Throttle Actuator Control Throttle Body Range/Performance
General Description
The diagnosis related to the electric throttle control system is done during the vehicle ON mode and OFF (LOCK) mode. The powertrain control module (PCM) opens and closes the throttle actuator to monitor the performance of the throttle body. If the throttle valve position is a specified position while the throttle actuator is off, the PCM detects a malfunction and stores a DTC.

Diagnosis Details
Conditions for setting the DTC
When a malfunction is detected, the MIL comes on and a Pending DTC, a Confirmed DTC, the freeze data, and the on-board snapshot are stored in the PCM memory.
Conditions for clearing the DTC
The MIL is cleared if the malfunction does not return in three consecutive trips in which the diagnostic runs. The MIL, the Pending DTC, the Confirmed DTC, the freeze data, and the on-board snapshot can be cleared with the scan tool clear command.
