DTC P0071, P0072, P0074, P0116-P0119, P0128, P02E8, P02E9, P111E, U0654 = Not set
Ambient Air Temperature = Warmer than −20°C (−4°F)
Engine Coolant Temperature = Warmer than 30°C (86°F)
Ignition and Start Switch Signal = On or Engine = Running
Ignition and Start Signal = Greater than 11 V
Intake Air Flow Control Valve Position = Steady State — For greater than 1 s
Frequency the DTC runs = Continuously — After the running conditions are met — For greater
than 1 s
P02E5
DTC P02E0-P02E3, P02E8, P02E9, P02EB, P122B, P122C, P122D, P1425, U0654 = Not set
DTC P02E1 is set.
Engine = Off — For greater than 2 s
Frequency the DTC runs = Continuously — After the running conditions are met — For greater
than 1 s
Conditions for Setting the DTC
P02E1
Control Circuit = Commanded state does not match the actual state — For greater than 10 s
P02E5
Intake Air Flow Control Valve Position = Less than 75%
Actions Taken When the DTC Sets
DTCs listed in the DTC Descriptor category = Type A DTC
Additional actions taken:
Reduced Engine Power = Active
P16 Instrument Cluster = Reduced Engine Power
Warning Message = Service Emission System /Service Exhaust Fluid System
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
DTCs listed in the DTC Descriptor category = Type A DTC
Diagnostic Aids
A high resistance condition on the component circuits may cause the DTC to set.
A weak battery may cause this DTC to set.
If the throttle blade becomes stuck, a DTC will set. Depending on the position of the throttle
blade, the engine control module (ECM) may enter Engine Shutdown Mode. The ECM will
disable fuel and de-energize the throttle actuator. If the condition remains present during
the next ignition cycle, the ECM may disable engine cranking. Inspect the throttle body
assembly for a stuck throttle blade if a throttle actuator DTC is current and the engine won’t
crank.
Inspect for a condition in which the throttle blade may have been held open. For example,
ice may have formed in the throttle bore causing the throttle blade not to close.

Circuit/System Verification
- Ignition » On / Vehicle » In Service Mode
- Verify DTC P02E8, P02E9, U0654 is not set.
⇒ If any of the DTCs are set
Refer to: DTC P02E8, P02E9, or U0654
⇓ If none of the DTCs are set
- Engine at Idle Verify the scan tool parameter:
Intake Air Flow Control Valve Control Circuit High Test Status = Not Run or Okay
Intake Air Flow Control Valve Control Circuit Low Test Status = Not Run or Okay
Intake Air Flow Control Valve Control Circuit Open Test Status = Not Run or Okay
Intake Air Flow Control Valve Control Circuit Shorted Test Status = Not Run or Okay
⇒ If not the specified state
Refer to: Circuit/System Testing
⇓ If the specified state
- Clear the DTCs.
- Ignition Off » For greater than 1 min
- Ignition » On / Vehicle » In Service Mode
- Verify DTC P02E1, P02E5 is not set.
⇒ If the DTC sets
Refer to: Circuit/System Testing
⇓ If the DTC does not set
- Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the
vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.
Verify the DTC does not set.
⇒ If the DTC sets
Refer to: Circuit/System Testing
⇓ If the DTC does not set
- All OK.
Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition/Vehicle » Off
- Verify the following conditions do not exist: Blade @ Q38 Throttle Body
- Disconnect the electrical connector: Q38 Throttle Body
- Ignition » On / Vehicle » In Service Mode
