This Code means there is a difference between the throttle body flap angle and the settings for it. Try disconnecting the battery for 10 minutes and see if it will refresh for the new parts.

There is a small adjustment for the TPS in the slotted end hole for the mount. Also check if you have successfully installed the TPS to the throttle shaft.

I do not know if the lack of power was before or after the change in parts. There is an Ignition Relay or the ECC Relay or Diode which could cut off power. Those should be in a Powerbox, usually as a trio.

Would like a final comment on the cure- others may have this same problem and I would be able to help them from what you tell me.

SOURCE: I need to know how to replace the throttle

The TPS is a small switch about the size of a butane lighter. It has 1 electric connector and 2 screws. It is located on the airhorn which is the metal part behind all the plastic ductwork of your engines air filter.

You unscrew the part and it will come off. There is a small slot to match the flap on the shaft it attaches to. The TPS fits onto this shaft and thats all you have to worry about before replacing the screws. Then tighten the part, switch electric connections and you should be done.

If he engine idles a little faster or slower, one of the screw slots is elongnated. You loosen both screws and slightly twist the slot to your preference and then tighten. Thats all it takes.

Hi

Does this model have an EGR Valve, if so try take that out and clean it with carb cleaner, it certainly sounds like thats the problem, the EGR is an Exhaust Gas Recycler Valve. the other alternative would be the air mass sensor alothough you would normally still get decent speed from it even when shot, but it would depend I guess on how shot it was.

Lastly make sure that there is no rips or leaks in the pipes sucking in to much air.

Hope this helps
Regards
Dan

Hello, I will try to get this shadetree enough so we both can understand it. I found articles for this defect going past 2 years, so I imagine nothing new has been invented to fix it.

The Code 2104 is only showing that a secondary part was trying to adjust the idle because the primary part was not doing the job. They call it an Accelerator Paddle Positon sensor, an APP for short. I can't say if it is the same as a TPS.

The Primary part that needs fixing is the Throttle plate (body). Thats your Code 2111 and it means the throttle plates are sticking in the bore, your TAC motor is crosswired, or the Harness connector for the TAC is shorted together. The TAC is the electric valve combination built into the Intake and it looks like a miniature starter, round and elongnated. It deals with venting airflow.

The TAC, wiring harness connectors, and throttle plates are all something a shadetree can clean or inspect. Make sure the TPS you installed was properly in the slot at the Butterfly shaft. Check the small screws or rivets in each Butterfly flap as a loose Butterfly valve can jam in the bore.

Basically everything is saying the throttle is not closing to where it belongs according to the other sensors and that it is not synchronized with other moving parts. It is always open too much. I am thinking the engine is getting too much air.

Now after checking those items, if nothing is shorted,loose or binding they say you need to have the PCM tested or reprogrammed. I am thinking it might be worthwhile to buy a PCM Relay and stick it in. You can do it first or last, but as a last ditch effort to avoid a Dealer I would try it.

I would like to know what finally fixed your truck as I see some Solutions but no verifications.

Start and dies, codes p061f, p2106,p2104,p2111

code p2106 refers to throttle actuator control (TAC) system--limited power mode===causes ---wiring---TAC motor---APP sensor---ECM

code o2104 refers to TAQC systems ---forced idle mode===causes wiring---TAC motor--APP sensor--ECM

code p2111 refers to TAC system --actuator stuck open ==causes ---throttle body--throttle valve tight/ sticking

code p2111 also refers to TAC system --circuit malfunction==causes wiring---short to positive--short to ground---TP sensor---ECM

code p2111 also has a 3rd section---brake vacuum---implausible signal===causes---wiring---vacuum sensor--mechanical fault

After washing engine on 2006 mustang gt codes p2104 p2111

P2104 is your throttle actuator. Probably wet the sensor. Try drying out with a hair dryer. P2111 is also a throttle code. Overnight the water has condensed and is affecting throttle position sensor.

Engine light came out and give me the code P2135

P2135 FORD Description

Electric throttle control actuator consists of throttle control motor, throttle position sensor, etc. The throttle position sensor responds to the throttle valve movement.


The throttle position sensor has the two sensors. These sensors are a kind of potentiometers which transform the throttle valve position into output voltage, and emit the voltage signal to the Engine Control Module (ECM). In addition, these sensors detect the opening and closing speed of the throttle valve and feed the voltage signals to the ECM. The ECM judges the current opening angle of the throttle valve from these signals and the ECM controls the throttle control motor to make the throttle valve opening angle properly in response to driving condition

2005 Ford Five Hundred 3.0L Hesitational take off cleaned throttle plate and codes p2111 and p2104 still set. Looked in Mitchells and they're telling me to replace PCM. Any other solutions?

You have one bad COP Igniton Coil

The coil is not grounding out in the PCM

A signal is coming back to the TPS Sensor
& you loose it's signal

The PCM then doesn't know throttle position %
and sets a 2104 & 2111 & you think that you have
a bad Throttle Body Motor (TACM)

A dealer will charge you $1000.00 & fix nothing

Buy one coil for $35 to $50.00 & install yourself
You may have to walk the new coil around a few times
& drive the car 30 miles each time, until you get the bad coil

Repair shops are not good with Fords & Dealers are useless

You should have other Misfire Codes & lots of them

Give them to me

2005 Explorer changed EGR valve due to code and now fail safe mode is in and wrench light is on. Vehicle starts but throttle does not work.

Most likely the ETC Fail Safe (Electronic Throttle Control)
Various Codes for the Throttle Body will be present

Before you replace the Throttle Body because of a failed
TACM (Throttle Actuator Control Motor) Spray the throttle
inlet and plate with CRC Throttle Body Cleaner

The Failsafe can also occur from a really bad COP Ignition
Coil spiking the PCM (computer) and coming back on both
sides of the TPS Sensor. You then loose throttle plate
position and thus shut down or go only 6 mph

I have 3 codes from my scaner p2111 p2112 p2238

P2111 - Throttle Actuator Control System Stuck Open.
P2112 - Throttle Actuator Control System Stuck Closed.
P2238 - O2 Sensor Positive Current Control Circuit Low Bank 1 Sensor 1



For the P2111 & P2112 you will need to replace the throttle body this can be pricey since the TAC is built into it. Try cleaning it good and see what happens. This can also trigger the P2238 code if its dumping fuel.
For the P2238 check the connections on the o2 sensor or replace the upstream o2 sensor that should correct it.

Have a code on my 2007 ford fusion sel code p2111 TAC do you know what that is and what do i do to fix it. it would dont accellerate until i turned the motor off and turned back on. now it is ok still have...

P2111 PCM indicates the throttle plate is at a greater angle then commanded.

Possible causes:
- Binding in the Throttle Body, Stuck open,
- TAC Motor circuit are cross wired
- TAC Motor harness circuits are shorted together
- Damaged PCM unit.

Hope help with this.

Check engine light is on and the car lost power. By checking with a portable meter, it showed "P2111 TAC system stuck open", what does it mean and how to fix the problem?

It means you probably have a bad TPS (throttle position sensor) or TAC, in the throttle body. Costs about $60. Is easy to change. While in there, make sure the throttle body is clean, because heavy coating of oil water, grit, etc. builds up and will inhibit function.
