Code P2107 Ford Description

The electronic Throttle Actuator Control (TAC) is a DC motor controlled by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). There are 2 designs for the TAC, parallel and inline. The parallel design has the motor under the bore parallel to the plate shaft. The motor housing is integrated into the main housing. The inline design has a separate motor housing. An internal spring is used in both designs to return the throttle plate to a default position. The default position is typically a throttle angle of 7 to 8 degrees from the hard stop angle. The closed throttle plate hard stop prevents the throttle from binding in the bore. This hard stop setting is not adjustable and is set to result in less airflow than the minimum engine airflow required at idle. The P2107 code is set when the Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) control area of the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) failed test. Fault code could the result of incorrect Throttle Position (TP) command of the Throttle Actuator Control Module (TACM).

  • This ford runs good as long as the timp. is norm.

  • I have a 2008 Ford F-150 XLT 5.4 Triton Crew cab. It's throwing me 2 different codes. 1st code is P2107 & the 2nd code is P2110. By searching on your website I've found the possible fix. Which hopefully will save me tons in auto shop repairs. Your site indicates that the possible fix is to upgrade the TP sensor from gen1 to gen 3 or 4. I am also at the same time replacing the thermostat due to a P1028 code that indicates the thermostat is not operating properly. It's not over heating. The P1028 code suggests that the thermostat is not opening all the way. I'm off to the local parts store to purchase both a new thermostat & a gen 3 or 4 TP sensor. After the install, I will get back & let you know how everything goes. Wish me luck guys!!!

  • Good luck!! I hope the new sensor and thermostat will fix codes.
