Auto Configuration Throttle Input Not Present Bank 2

Causes

  • Faulty throttle position sensor (TPS) or throttle body assembly on Bank 2
  • Open or short in the TPS/throttle wiring harness or connector
  • Corroded or loose connector pins at the throttle body or ECU
  • Blown fuse or lost reference voltage/ground for TPS circuitry
  • ECU software/configuration issue or corrupted calibration
  • CAN/vehicle network communication error (if throttle data is shared over network)

Symptoms

  • Check Engine Light (MIL) illuminated
  • Reduced engine power / limp-home mode or limited throttle response
  • Poor idle or stalling under load
  • Loss of driveability or hesitation during acceleration
  • Possible stored multiple throttle/pedal related DTCs

What to check

  • Read freeze frame and complete DTC list; note any related throttle/pedal or CAN communication codes
  • Visually inspect throttle body connector, wiring harness, and ECU connectors for damage, corrosion, or contamination
  • Check fuses and power distribution for circuits supplying the throttle/TPS
  • Check for proper ground(s) at the engine and sensor mounts
  • Verify whether vehicle has separate throttle components per bank (V engines) or shared sensor data over a network

Signal parameters

  • Typical TPS reference voltage: 5.0 V (check factory spec)
  • TPS output voltage at closed throttle: ~0.5–1.0 V (varies by manufacturer)
  • TPS output voltage at wide-open throttle: ~3.5–4.5 V (varies by manufacturer)
  • Dual/sensor redundancy: two sensor channels should vary together; difference typically
  • CAN/serial messages: throttle position message present and updating (check with scanner)

Diagnostic algorithm

  1. Confirm the code and note related codes and freeze frame data.
  2. Perform a visual inspection of Bank 2 throttle body, connector and wiring for damage, corrosion or water ingress.
  3. With key on engine off, verify TPS reference voltage (nominal 5 V) and ground at the connector. Repair any missing reference or ground.
  4. Backprobe TPS output and observe voltage at closed throttle and while slowly opening throttle. Compare to expected range and to Bank 1 (if present).
  5. If no TPS output, check continuity between TPS connector and ECU for open or short to ground/5V. Wiggle wiring to test for intermittent faults.
  6. Inspect/scan CAN bus or vehicle network messages if the throttle signal is networked; check for lost or repeating messages.
  7. If wiring and power/ground are good but signal absent or erratic, bench-test or replace the throttle body/TPS assembly for Bank 2.
  8. After repair, clear codes and perform throttle adaptation / relearn procedure per manufacturer. Road test and verify the code does not recur.
  9. If symptoms persist, suspect ECU internal fault; confirm with manufacturer diagnostics before ECU replacement.

Likely causes

  • Disconnected or corroded connector at Bank 2 throttle body
  • Damaged harness (chafing, broken wire) to TPS/throttle motor on Bank 2
  • Failed throttle body electronics (TPS sensor or throttle actuator)
  • Missing 5V reference or ground at the sensor due to blown fuse or bad ground
