- How the car detects it
- P241C is the bank 2 counterpart of P2072 and only makes sense on engines that use a separate electronic throttle per bank. The controller records that the throttle plate of that bank was frozen in place, recognised by a blade that will not follow its command in cold weather. No manufacturer publishes P241C. For bank 1, Ford's 2012 OBD summary lists ice blockage for its second-generation throttle control as a non-MIL fault, while FCA bulletin 09-023-23 (2013-2023 RAM 1500, 3.6L V6) reports P2072 with a MIL, forced limited rpm and no-start in frost, caused by moisture from crankcase ventilation freezing on the blade. Expect reduced power or a no-start until the throttle body thaws.
