Error Fault Code P2103...cleared itself?
Hi all, need some opinions here.
I have 50k miles on my Cab. I had less than a quarter tank of gas. I started car and about a quarter mile in, I get the dreaded “Fault Engine Control. Possible to drive on. So I limp home and garage car. When I got home from work, ran an OBD II scan and up came the P2103 code which stands for “Throttle Actuator Control Motor Circuit High”. So I did some Googling and called my local 911 mechanic. He recommended that I clear code and see what happens. Okay. I return to car to clear code, fire her up and she’s fine...she is out of limp mode. I drove her a couple of miles and filled her up. She seems fine. Going on a little trip out of town next week. Any thoughts on this? Should I be worried? Or was this just a stuck throttle actuator that unstuck itself? Thanks for any feedback. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...721807b67.jpeg |
Is all other maintenance up to date? Have you completed the 40K service??
I don't think the car self repaired itself. |
Hmm. maybe the car wanted your attention as it approached 50k.

Gremlins appear and disappear all the time so don't worry about something that is no longer a problem. Otherwise, stop driving it and sell it before it hits 50k miles...sounds better to advertise it with "49xxx miles".

Drove car 60 miles today....no issues. I have a feeling running on low fuel may have contributed to error? Gremlin for sure. It actually happens!

So strange...well I took my car on a 600 mile trip to Vegas...no issues. Brought her home, gave her a quick wash next day. Drove her quarter mile and up came code. I again checked OBD codes getting that ECU 1 and 2 again. I restarted car and car was fine again.
Any guesses? Im probably off to my Indy on Monday. |

since you asked for guesses, perhaps a dirty or sticking throttle body? Probably a good idea to have it checked before you get stuck.
I’d like to try easy DIY fixes before going off to Indy. |
So I will be taking the rear bumper off to clean throttle body...anything else I should do while that bumper is off?
