Dtc Description

DTC Description

DTC DETECTION LOGIC

DTC	CONSULT screen terms (Trouble diagnosis content)	DTC detection condition
P2100	ETC MOT PWR-B1 (Throttle actuator “A” control motor circuit/open)	Diagnosis condition	Engine running at idle
		Signal (terminal)	Throttle control motor relay signal
		Threshold	ECM detects a voltage of power source for throttle control motor is excessively low
		Diagnosis delay time	—

POSSIBLE CAUSE

Harness or connectors (Throttle control motor relay circuit is open.)
Throttle control motor relay

FAIL-SAFE

Engine Control System

Engine operating condition in fail-safe mode
Fail safe mode		Nissan Sentra Vehicle behavior
Device fix mode		This mode fixes the electric IVT motor and the EVT control solenoid valve in the reference position. The intake manifold runner control valve motor is turned OFF (intake manifold runner control valve opens).
Others		ECM stops the electric throttle control actuator control, throttle valve is maintained at a fixed opening (approx. 5 degrees) by the return spring.

Idle Start/Stop System

When a DTC is detected, the start/stop indicator lamp blinks slowly and the idle start/stop system operation is prohibited.

When ECM detects error while operating the idle start/stop system, ECM restarts the engine.

Confirmation Procedure

GO TO 2.

CHECK THROTTLE CONTROL MOTOR RELAY POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT

Turn ignition switch OFF.
Disconnect ECM harness connector.
Disconnect IPDM E/R harness connector.

Check the continuity between ECM harness connector and IPDM E/R harness connector.

ECM		IPDM E/R		Continuity
Connector	Terminal	Connector	Terminal	Continuity
F25	128	F96	72	Existed

Also check harness for short to ground and to power.

Is the inspection result normal?

YES >>

Perform the trouble diagnosis for power supply circuit.

NO >>

Repair or replace malfunctioning part.

CHECK THROTTLE CONTROL MOTOR RELAY INPUT SIGNAL

Turn ignition switch OFF.

Check the voltage between ECM harness connectors.

+		−		Condition		Voltage (Approx.)
ECM
Connector	Terminal	Connector	Terminal
F25	97	E16	162	Ignition switch	OFF	0 V

Is the inspection result normal?

YES >>

INSPECTION END

NO >>

GO TO 4.

CHECK THROTTLE CONTROL MOTOR RELAY INPUT SIGNAL CIRCUIT

Turn ignition switch OFF.
Disconnect ECM harness connector.
Disconnect IPDM E/R harness connector.

Check the continuity between ECM harness connector and IPDM E/R harness connector.

ECM		IPDM E/R		Continuity
Connector	Terminal	Connector	Terminal	Continuity
F25	97	F96	67	Existed

Also check harness for short to ground and to power.

Is the inspection result normal?

YES >>

INSPECTION END

NO >>

Repair or replace malfunctioning part.
