The engine control module (ECM) controls the throttle valve by applying a varying voltage to the throttle actuator control motor. The ECM monitors the actual throttle valve position using throttle position (TP) sensor 1 and 2. The ECM amplifies the TP sensor 1 signal in order to obtain a more accurate signal. The ECM monitors the TP sensor 1 amplification output whenever the ignition is ON and a closed throttle test is performed. If the ECM detects the internal TP sensor 1 amplification output does not correlate with the TP sensor 1 signal voltage, this DTC sets.
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC P2107 Throttle Actuator Control (TAC) Module Internal Circuit
| • | The vehicle speed is 0 km/h (0 mph). | 
| • | The engine speed is less than 40 RPM. | 
| • | The engine coolant temperature (ECT) is 5-85°C (41-185°F). | 
| • | The intake air temperature (IAT) is 5-60°C (41-140°F). | 
| • | The ignition 1 voltage is more than 10 volts. | 
| • | The accelerator pedal position (APP) is less than 15 percent. | 
| • | The ECM is performing the closed throttle test with the ignition ON and the engine OFF. | 
| • | DTC P2107 runs once the above conditions are met during the throttle actuator control system initialization. | 
The ECM detects the internal TP sensor 1 amplification output does not correlate with the TP sensor 1 signal voltage for more than 4 seconds.
| • | The control module stores the DTC information into memory when the diagnostic runs and fails. | 
| • | The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) will not illuminate. | 
| • | The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The control module stores this information in the Failure Records. | 
| • | The driver information center, if equipped, may display a message. | 
| • | A current DTC Last Test Failed clears when the diagnostic runs and passes. | 
| • | A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other non-emission related diagnostic. | 
| • | Clear the DTC with a scan tool. |
