P2110 on Ford
Throttle Actuator Control System - Forced Limited RPM
P2110 on Ford vehicles indicates throttle actuator control system - forced limited rpm. Au7o has documented this code across 1 Ford model — most commonly on Fusion. This code means the engine computer detected a serious problem in the electronic throttle (drive-by-wire) control system and, to protect the vehicle, has forced the engine into a reduced-power 'limp' mode that caps engine RPM. It is usually a reaction to another underlying throttle fault rather than the root cause itself, so other related codes are typically present. Because power is limited and acceleration is restricted, the car may be unsafe to drive in traffic and should be diagnosed promptly. Typical repair costs on Ford range from $250 to $550, depending on the specific model and root cause.
Common Causes of P2110
- •Faulty throttle body / throttle actuator motor
- •Failed accelerator or throttle position sensor
- •Damaged, corroded, or loose throttle wiring/connectors
- •Dirty or carboned-up throttle plate
- •Related throttle-control fault codes (root cause) present
- •Low system voltage or poor grounds
- •PCM/ECM fault (rare)

- Electronic Throttle Body Failure - Limp Mode and Wrench Light2010-2016
The electronic throttle body suffers internal contamination/wear of the motor contacts, causing intermittent electrical failure rather than simple dirt buildup. The result is a sudden loss of power (limp/failsafe mode) with the amber wrench (powertrain) warning light, rough idle, or stalling, sometimes in traffic. Ford acknowledged the problem with extended-warranty program 13N03 for 2010-2013 models and Customer Satisfaction Program 16B32 for certain 2015-2016 vehicles including Fusion.
