Causes

  • Faulty TAC (throttle actuator) module internal electronics
  • Corroded/damaged connector or wiring to the TAC module
  • Low or unstable battery/charging system voltage during operation
  • Water intrusion or contamination inside the throttle body/module
  • Intermittent short to power or ground in the actuator circuits

Symptoms

  • Check Engine/MIL illuminated
  • Reduced engine power / limp-home mode
  • Delayed or unresponsive throttle pedal
  • Engine may stall or idle poorly
  • Stored related throttle/pedal position DTCs (multiple codes)
  • Possible audible clicking or abnormal noise from throttle body (rare)

What to check

  • Read and record all stored and pending DTCs and freeze frame data with a scan tool
  • Check vehicle battery voltage and charging system (engine off and cranking/ignition on)
  • Inspect TAC/throttle body connector and harness for corrosion, bent pins, heat damage, water entry, or chafing
  • Verify relevant fuses and power/ground circuits at the fusebox and module
  • Check for related pedal position sensor codes (compare signals)
  • Attempt a key-on self-test / relearn procedure as specified by manufacturer

Signal parameters

  • Battery/ignition voltage (Key ON): ~11–14.5 V
  • 5 V reference to throttle/pedal sensors: ~4.75–5.25 V
  • Throttle position sensor voltages (closed to open): ~0.2–0.9 V (closed) up to ~4.0–5.0 V (wide open) depending on sensor type
  • Actuator motor coil resistance: typically low ohms (manufacturer-specific) — expect continuity, not open circuit
  • Actuator driver PWM duty cycle: 0–100% (varies with throttle command); frequency typically tens to a few hundred Hz
  • Actuator current draw (during movement): small amps; watch for excessive stall current indicating mechanical bind or shorted coil

Diagnostic algorithm

  1. Retrieve all DTCs and freeze-frame data. Save for reference. Note if P2107 is the only code or appears with other throttle/pedal codes.
  2. Verify battery and charging system health. Recharge or replace battery if voltage is below specification or unstable.
  3. Visually inspect TAC/throttle body connector, wiring harness, and grounds for damage, corrosion, water intrusion, pin misalignment, or loose terminals. Repair any issues found.
  4. Check fuses and power feeds to the TAC module. With ignition ON, verify 12V supply and ground at the module connector using a DVOM.
  5. Verify 5V reference and sensor ground at the throttle/pedal sensors. Compare sensor voltages to expected idle and wide-open ranges using a scan tool or multimeter.
  6. With ignition OFF, check continuity/resistance of motor coils and internal actuator circuits per manufacturer values. Look for opens or shorts to ground/power.
  7. With a lab-quality scope or oscilloscope, observe the actuator control signals (PWM) from the TAC module while commanding throttle input with a scan tool. Look for missing, clipped, or abnormal waveforms.
  8. Wiggle test harness and connectors while monitoring live data for intermittent faults.
  9. If harness, power, and grounds test good but fault remains, attempt manufacturer-specified TAC reset/relearn or module reflash using dealer-level scan tool/software.
  10. If reflash/relearn fails and internal fault persists, replace the TAC/throttle body module assembly. After replacement, perform necessary relearn/calibration procedures and clear codes. Recheck for reappearance.
  11. If new module fails immediately or codes persist, consider upstream ECU/PCM faults or wiring short between TAC and ECM; perform further diagnosis or consult manufacturer guidance.

Likely causes

  • Internal component failure inside the TAC module (failed driver circuitry or sensors)
  • Broken or shorted motor coil or control traces inside throttle body
  • Poor ground or 5V reference loss to the TAC module
  • Damaged connector pins (bent, pushed out, corroded) causing intermittent contact
  • Aftermarket or incorrect replacement throttle body/module not configured or incompatible
