Circuit Description

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

The engine control module (ECM) opens the throttle blades by applying a pulse width modulated voltage to the throttle valve motor. The ECM reverses the polarity on the throttle valve motor control circuits in order to close the throttle blades. The ECM increases the pulse width as necessary to open the throttle blades. The ECM monitors throttle position (TP) sensors 1 and 2 to determine the actual blade position. If the ECM detects the required pulse width modulation to move the throttle valves exceeds a predetermined value, DTC 2100 sets.
