Low Idle Airflow Monitor - Systems With Electronic Throttle Control

When the CSER strategy is enabled, the Electronic Throttle Control system will request a higher idle rpm, elevating engine airflow. Vehicles that have ETC and do not have a separate airflow test (P050A). Any fault that would not allow the engine to operate at the desired idle rpm during a cold start would be flagged by one of three ETC DTCs:

  1. P2111 (throttle actuator control system stuck open),
  2. P2112 throttle actuator control system stuck closed)
  3. P2107 (throttle actuator control module processor/circuit test).

All three DTCs will illuminate the MIL in 2 driving cycles, and immediately illuminate the "ETC" light. These DTCS are also documented in the ETC section of this document.

For the 2009 MY, only the Fusion/Milan utilizes the CSER Component monitor with ETC.

THROTTLE PLATE CONTROLLER AND ACTUATOR OPERATION

DTCs P2107 - processor test (MIL)
P2111 - throttle actuator system stuck open (MIL)
P2112 - throttle actuator system stuck closed (MIL)
NOTE: For all the above DTCs, in addition to the MIL, the ETC light will be on for the fault that caused the FMEM action.
Monitor execution Continuous
Monitor Sequence None
Monitoring Duration 60 msec for processor fault, 500 msec for stuck open/closed fault
THROTTLE PLATE CONTROLLER AND ACTUATOR MALFUNCTION THRESHOLDS

P2111 - Desired throttle angle vs. actual throttle angle > 6 degrees
P2112 - Desired throttle angle vs. actual throttle angle < 6 degrees
P2107 - Internal processor fault, lost communication with main CPU
