Electronic throttle problems - 2007 Dodge Caliber 2.0

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 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac does not utilize the once-common idle air control (IAC) valve. Instead, an electronic throttle body is used. An electronic throttle body is a traditional butterfly throttle valve that has an electric motor attached to it. Instead of opening via a throttle cable, it is opened by the powertrain control module (PCM) when the accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor (which is the gas pedal) is pressed. The PCM also adjusted the throttle blade position in order to achieve proper idle speeds. Often times idle problems with this type of electronic throttle body are caused by carbon buildup around the throttle plate, in the bore of the throttle body. In fact, this is such a common problem with this particular vehicle that Ford released technical service bulletin (TSB) #12-7-4 to address the RPM fluctuation and hard start symptoms and advises to clean the throttle body. Alternatively, the throttle body can and may need to be replaced.

Buy a can of electrical switch cleaner and spray both the male and female connectors on all those items involved.

If that doesn't fix it, you need an auto electrician with a pro grade scan tool computer who can scan for communication issues and record the Live Data as it happens and what made the electronic throttle indicator light come on.

Electronic Throttle Control Indicator This is the Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Indicator symbol. This light, a lightning bolt between reversed brackets or parenthesis, will illuminate if there is a problem in the electronic throttle control system. As an electronic system, it can sometimes be reset with a restart.

Check for vacuum leaks, fuel pressure and fuel filter. Also clean the throttle blades on the Throttlebody.

c121cThis has to be checked by someone with a computer capable of communicating with all the systems/computers in the vehicle to determine what is wrong here. you have a problem with you electronic throttle control .

Electronic Throttle Control ETC System Electronic Throttle Control ETC System

This is a warning that something needs to be checked. This happens a lot when a vehicle is jumped with a dead battery. You may have to take to dealer and have ETC reprogramed.
Throttle Control Warning Light More and more vehicles are doing away with the mechanical throttle cable between the driver's foot and the engine throttle body, replacing it with a "drive-by-wire" system. In this system, a throttle pedal sensor sends data to an electronic throttle control computer, which evaluates and relays the throttle request to a specialized electronic throttle motor on the engine throttle body.
The throttle motor opens or closes the actual throttle blade, which increases or decreases the power output of the engine. The throttle control warning light illuminates when a problem is detected in the electronic throttle system.

First, take a look at is the the mechanical throttle or electronic throttle mechanical, recommended to check PULL catching, is electron words, recommended to check the pedal, harness and electronic throttle.

Some f-150 trucks had electronic throttle body's on them if your truck has no cable for the throttle its electronic the problem will be in the computer.If it has a cable the problem is going to be in the Throttle position sensor at the throttle body.Hope this help

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.
