Reduced Engine Power Mode
When the PCM detects a problem with the TAC system the PCM enters one of the following Reduced Engine Power Modes:
- Acceleration Limiting
The control module will continue to use the accelerator pedal for throttle control, however the vehicle acceleration is limited. - Limited Throttle Mode
The control module will continue to use the accelerator pedal for throttle control, however the maximum throttle opening is limited. - Throttle Default Mode
The control module will turn off the throttle actuator. - Forced Idle Mode
The control module will limit engine speed to idle by positioning throttle position, or by controlling fuel and spark if throttle is turned off, or; ignore the accelerator pedal input. - Engine Shutdown Mode
The control module will disable fuel and de-energize the throttle actuator.
