My 2008 dodge avenger while driving loses power and electronic throttle control system light comes on and flashes

What is the etc light on a 2010 Dodge Avenger?The lightning bolt indicator on the Avenger's dash is the Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) light. It signifies a problem with the throttle system that controls the amount of fuel provided to the engine. Problems with the throttle body sensor and the throttle body can cause the lightning bolt to illuminate

The best solution you'll get f rom books at www.reliable-store.com

These are books containing info on repair, service, troubleshooting, parts info, assembling dissemble, removal, error/fault codes, wiring diagrams and everything on any vehicles cars, atv, trucks. forklifts, boats, excavators etc

The car has to be diagnosed

There is a good chance that the
ETC light has nothing to do with
the actual reason it set a fault code

On a ford, you have bad ignition coils that
don't ground out in the computer & set etc

The dealers & shops throw all sorts of parts
at the unknown & have no idea what happened
or how to diagnose.

You need to have a shop or dealer use the codes
& other reference material properly, to find the issue

Here's the part,it's located near thermostat housing,easy to remove.

The throttle position sensor needs to be replaced. That will cure your problems.

It is Electronic Throttle Control, it is driveable but could get worse. May need to go to dealer. Check the Avenger forum, maybe somebody knows more how to fix it

it is an alert for the electronic throttle control, you need to get the car fixed, especially if it is flashing.

There is a PCM flash update for this problem. The dealer should know about this I have done a couple of these so far. Hope this helps please rate if it does.

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...
