P2175 Low Airflow/Restriction Deteceted (Slow Accumulation)
November 06, 2018
Add Comment
P2175 code - The Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) motor is controlled by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The DC motor located in the Throttle body drives the throttle blade. In order to decrease idle speed, along with spark and fuel delivery changes the PCM commands the throttle closed reducing air flow into the engine and the idle speed decreases. In order to increase idle speed, the PCM commands the throttle plate open allowing more air to pass the throttle plate.
When monitored ignition on and engine running with no MAP sensor DTCs. Set condition the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) calculated MAP value is greater than actual MAP value plus an offset value. One trip fault and the code will set within five seconds. Three good trips to turn of the mil. ETC light flash.
