P2110Throttle Actuator A Control System - Forced Limited RPM
- Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
- Turns on the check-engine light
- Matters for the ITP
- Can trigger limp mode
- How the car detects it
- P2110 records that engine speed has been capped because throttle A can no longer be controlled safely. Ford's 2012 summary sets it on second-generation ETC when both throttle position sensors fail or Ford's throttle plate controller (TPPC) reports a fault, with MIL and wrench lamp; rpm is then capped by a pedal-dependent limit enforced through fuel and spark. FCA uses it widely: a Ram 1500 3.6L bulletin (09-023-23) pairs it with throttle icing (P2072, P2118), and Jeep Renegade/Fiat 500X PCM updates cure false settings. Repair the companion code first. Bank B counterpart is P210F; other fallback states are P2104-P2106.
