Circuit/System Description
The engine control module (ECM) is the control centre for the throttle body throttle actuator control (TAC) system. The ECM determines the drivers intent and then calculates the appropriate throttle response. The ECM achieves throttle positioning by providing a pulse width modulated voltage to the throttle body (TAC) motor. The throttle body (TAC) motor system uses the following circuits:
• | Throttle body (TAC) motor control 1 |
• | Throttle body (TAC) motor control 2 |
Two processors are also used to monitor the throttle body (TAC) motor system data. Both processors are located within the ECM. Both processors monitor each others data to verify that the indicated throttle position is correct.
Conditions for Running the DTC
P1104 00
• | The ignition is ON or the engine is operating. |
• | The ignition voltage is greater than 7 V. |
• | The system is not in battery safe mode. |
• | DTC P0068 00 is not set. |
• | DTCs P1516 00 and P2101 00 run continuously once the above conditions are met for greater than 5 s. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
P1104 00
The indicated throttle position does not match the predicted throttle position for more than 0.5 s.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
DTCs P1104 00 is a Type B DTC.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
DTCs P1104 00 is a Type B DTC.
Diagnostic Aids
• | A high resistance condition with the throttle position sensor circuits may cause DTCs P1516 00, P2101 00, P2119 00, or P2176 00 to set. |
• | Inspect for a condition in which the throttle valve may have been held open. For example, ice may have formed in the throttle bore causing the throttle valve not to close. |

Circuit/System Verification
- Ignition ON, engine OFF, use a scan tool to observe the throttle position sensor 1 indicated position. Throttle position should increase as pedal is applied and decrease as pedal is released. When no accelerator pedal activity is detected, the throttle position will return to the spring loaded default position.
Note: A low voltage condition may set this DTC.
- Review the freeze frame/failure records and ensure sufficient ignition voltage was present when the DTC was set.
⇒ | If voltage was low, verify with the owner that the battery was not discharged. If the battery has not been discharged, refer to Power Mode Mismatch . |
- Operate the vehicle within the conditions for running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the freeze frame/failure records data.
Circuit/System Testing
Warning: Turn OFF the ignition before inserting fingers into the throttle bore. Unexpected movement of the throttle blade could cause personal injury.
- Inspect the Q38 Throttle Body for the following conditions:
• | A throttle blade that is not in the rest position |
• | A throttle valve that is binding open or closed |
• | A throttle valve that opens or closes without spring pressure |
⇒ | If a condition is found, replace the Q38 Throttle Body. |
Note: Disconnecting the throttle body harness connector causes additional DTCs to set.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector of the Q38 Throttle Body.
- Verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between Q38 Throttle Body motor control 1 circuit terminal 3 or Q38 Throttle Body motor control 2 circuit terminal 5 and ground.
⇒ | If the test lamp illuminates, test the appropriate Q38 Throttle Body motor control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module. |
- Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 V between the Q38 Throttle Body motor control 1 circuit terminal 3 and ground.
⇒ | If less than the specified range, test the control circuit for short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module. |
⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module. |
- Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 V between the Q38 Throttle Body motor control 2 circuit terminal 5 and ground.
⇒ | If less than the specified range, test the control circuit for short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module. |
⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module. |
- If all circuits test normal, replace the Q38 Throttle Body.
