Generic (OBD-II) interpretation

P2100
Throttle Actuator A Control Motor Circuit/Open Generic · engine Data confidence 78%

The control module detected an interruption (open circuit) in the Throttle Actuator A Control Motor circuit, so the expected electrical continuity was not present.

Possible causes

  • Wiring
  • TAC motor

Manufacturer-specific interpretations

Ford

5 interpretations
P2100:1D
Throttle Actuator “A” Control Motor Current Range/Performance Ford · engine Data confidence 94%

Ford documents P2100:1D for its 2024-2025 gasoline-engine OBD monitor strategy as throttle actuator “a” control motor current range/performance. This three-byte interpretation is application-specific and identifies the detected monitor condition rather than a confirmed failed component.

Recommended checks

  • Perform a full module scan
  • Review freeze-frame and occurrence data
  • Compare commanded and measured values
  • Check applicable OEM service information
Applies to Ford gasoline-engine OBD applications|2024-2025 model years
P2100:72
Throttle Actuator “A” Control System – Stuck Open Ford · engine Data confidence 94%

Ford documents P2100:72 (actuator stuck open) for its 2024-2025 gasoline-engine OBD monitor strategy as throttle actuator “a” control system – stuck open. This three-byte interpretation is application-specific and identifies the detected monitor condition rather than a confirmed failed component.

Recommended checks

  • Perform a full module scan
  • Review freeze-frame and occurrence data
  • Compare commanded and measured values
  • Check applicable OEM service information

P2100:95
Throttle Actuator “A” Control Motor Circuit cross-wired Ford · engine Data confidence 94%

Ford documents P2100:95 for its 2024-2025 gasoline-engine OBD monitor strategy as throttle actuator “a” control motor circuit cross-wired. This three-byte interpretation is application-specific and identifies the detected monitor condition rather than a confirmed failed component.

Recommended checks

  • Perform a full module scan
  • Review freeze-frame and occurrence data
  • Inspect relevant wiring and connectors
  • Check power supplies and grounds
  • Compare commanded and measured values
  • Check applicable OEM service information

Frequently asked questions about P2100

What does P2100 mean?

Diagnostic Trouble Code (5 variants). The control module detected an interruption (open circuit) in the Throttle Actuator A Control Motor circuit, so the expected electrical continuity was not present.

Is P2100 generic or manufacturer-specific?

P2100 exists both as a generic OBD-II code (same meaning on every make) and with 1 manufacturer-specific interpretation(s): Ford. Always read it in the context of your vehicle.

Can TuningBot remove P2100 at file level?

If the fault logic lives in the ECU calibration, yes: our DTC Removal file service disables the specific fault entry. Checksum correction is not included: it is a separate, optional service. Not sure whether your case qualifies? Request a free assessment and our engineers will check your ECU file.
