ETC(Electronic Throttle Control Valve) is the device controlling amount of air to engine acccording to driver’s intension. Different from the existing mechanical throttle valve which is composed of accelerator pecal and connecting wire cable, ETC consists of a motor, a throttle body and a throttle position sensor. Receiving input signals from electronic accelerator pedal module, PCM lets ETC motor control throttle valve. With ETC, cruise control system works without any additional device.
If PCM recognizes vehicle state as forced limited power mode under detecting condition, it sets P2106 and then MIL(Malfunction Indication Lamp) turns on.

Enable Conditions | ● Ignition "ON" | |
Threshold value | ● Limit Performance Mode is active | |
Diagnosis Time | - | |
MIL On Condition | ● 1 Driving Cycle |
[Tip 1]
- If Main relay has a fault(ex. Open) under engine running, the DTCs, P0638/P0685/P1295/P2106, can happen at the same time.
[Tip 2]
- If P1295 and P2106 occur at the same time, first check ETC items(TPS or ETC motor etc).
※ DTC Name
- P0638 Throttle Actuator Control Range/Performance(Bank 1)
- P0685 PCM/PCM Power Relay Control Circuit /Open
- P1295 Throttle Actuator Control System - Power Management
