P2103Powertrain

Throttle actuator — circuit high

Where to start

A high signal in the throttle actuator circuit. Usually a break. The same conversation as P2102.

A code is not a diagnosis. It says which check failed, not which part to replace. Clearing it without repair only means the car will report it again in a few trips.

How the app helps

CarScan reads this code from your car through an OBD-II adapter, shows whether it is active now or only stored, names the module that reported it, and puts it into a plain-text report for your mechanic.
