The Electronic Throttle Control(ETC) system is made of the components throttle body, Throttle Position Sensor(TPS)1&2 and Accelerator Position Sensor(APS) 1&2. The throttle body contains the actuator, the throttle plate and the throttle position sensor (potentiometer), which are integrated in one housing. The actuator consists of a DC motor with a two-stage gear. The opening angle of the throttle valve is detected by the throttle position sensor which is mounted on the throttle body. And it provides feedback to the PCM to control the throttle motor in order to control the throttle valve opening angle properly in response to the driving condition.
PCM sets DTC P2119 if the PCM detects TPS adaptation procedure is abnormal.

Conditions
During TPS adaptation
TPS setpoint = 11.9%
Case2,4
TPS setpoint = 29%
During TPS start check
TPS setpoint = 24.2%
No engine start condition
Threshold
Value
Throttle position for the lower return spring check is not reached within a limit maximum time(Difference between throttle position and setpoint > 0.48%°)
When ETC power stage is off, Throttle can not return by spring power in the limp-home position within a limit maximum time(Difference between Throttle position and adapted voltage in limphome position > 0.18 V)
Throttle position for the upper return spring check is not reached within a limit maximum time(Difference between throttle position and setpoint > 0.48%)
When ETC power stage is off, Throttle cannot return by spring power in the limp-home position within a limit maximum time(Difference between Throttle position and adapted voltage in limphome position > 0.18 V)
Throttle flap cannot reach the setpoint within the hysteresis within a limit maximum time(Difference between throttle position and requested position > 0.48%)
When ETC power stage is off, Throttle cannot return by spring power in the limp-home position within a limit maximum time(Difference between Throttle position and adapted voltage in limphome position > 0.18V)
Diagnostic Time
0.8~1.2 sec.
