My 2008 Dodge Charger stalled while driving. The Electronic throttle control light came on . What caused it?
Use the codes you get & factory trouble charts to diagnose
Testimonial: "I will take it to the Dealer. Thanks "
I took it to the Dodge Dealer who REFLASH the Power train module (PCM) . He said if it happen again he will have to replace the PCM. Luckily for me I had purchase a lifetime warranty on 9/11/12 it will cover the cost. Thanks for your help.

SOURCE: sensor light comes on(2008 Dodge Charger)
if the weather has changed and got cold your tire pressure would have dropped and would be lower. 2 options. 1 is fill ther tire to 30 psi and ride it out (remembering that when it warms up the tire pressure will automatically go up too)
2. Is to run a dry air such as nitrogen which does not change pressure in hot/cold weather.
Hope this helps

I took my 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 5.7L Hemi to a mechanic that works from a garage at his home, recommended by a friend of mine. He removed and cleaned the throttle body and sensor(s?), then reinstalled them, and then disconnected both battery cables and held them together for 2 minutes so that the engine controller could reboot with the factory default settings, then reconnected them. I had bought a can of throttle body cleaner on my way over to his house for about $3.00. He charged me $40.00 for the job. This was done mid-February, about 10 weeks and 2500 miles ago. So far, the problem Has Not happened again, the truck has been running great!

I hate to tell you this they really can not do anything they may just make sure its all pushed in/ What happens is plastic and plastic meet and when they shift it causes noise even if you took it back to dodge they would take it out and because all the snap ins are plastic it could make it worse I have seen that happen If you took it back to dodge atleast it would be noted every wherever you take the vehicle so thats the good news but its under warranty / Please rate my response Thank you very much

DTC P2106
Throttle actuator control system-forced limited power
DETECTION CONDITION
• The PCM monitors the throttle actuator control current when the ignition switch is on. If the control current is less than 8 A or more than 11 A, the PCM determines that the throttle actuator control system is under forced limited power.
Diagnostic support note
• This is a continuous monitor (CCM).
• The MIL illuminates if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition in the first drive cycle.
• PENDING CODE is available if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition.
• FREEZE FRAME DATA is available.
• The DTC is stored in the PCM memory.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
• Throttle actuator malfunction
• Connector or terminal malfunction
• Open circuit in wiring harness between throttle body terminal A and PCM terminal 1B
• Short to power supply in wiring harness between throttle body terminal A and PCM terminal 1B
• Short to GND in wiring harness between throttle body terminal A and PCM terminal 1B
• Open circuit in wiring harness between throttle body terminal B and PCM terminal 1C
• Short to power supply in wiring harness between throttle body terminal B and PCM terminal 1C
• Short to GND in wiring harness between throttle body terminal B and PCM terminal 1C
• PCM malfunction
and for the other one
the dealers need to reflash the powertrain module ( ETC ) ...
hope i'll not get that problem on my 04 hemi...
SOURCE: electronic throttle control, cruise control
You need to have the codes read. The electronic throttle relies on an APP sensor and a TPS sensor. A problem with either one of these will cause this. Also, the cruise would be affected by this, as there is no cruise servo, it's controlled be the electronic throttle body.
