P2112 on Chrysler
Throttle Actuator Control System - Stuck Closed
P2112 on Chrysler vehicles indicates throttle actuator control system - stuck closed. Au7o has documented this code across 1 Chrysler model — most commonly on 200. P2112 means the throttle actuator control (electronic throttle) system is stuck in the closed position. On drive-by-wire engines the computer moves the throttle plate with an electric motor and confirms its position with sensors; when it commands the throttle open but the plate won't move past closed, this code sets. This usually triggers limp/failsafe mode with greatly reduced power, a poor or surging idle, or a no-acceleration condition. It points to a mechanical or electrical problem in the throttle body or its control circuit. Typical repair costs on Chrysler range from $30 to $400, depending on the specific model and root cause.
Common Causes of P2112
- •Carbon buildup or debris binding the throttle plate
- •Failed throttle body actuator motor
- •Faulty throttle position sensor inside the throttle body
- •Damaged or corroded throttle body connector/wiring
- •Loss of power or ground to the throttle body
- •Seized or mechanically stuck throttle plate
- •Faulty throttle control circuit in the PCM/ECM

Chrysler 200(1 issue)
- Engine Stalling at Idle (Electronic Throttle Body)2011-2017
The Chrysler 200 experiences intermittent engine stalling at idle, particularly when decelerating to a stop or sitting at traffic lights. The electronic throttle body accumulates carbon buildup that restricts airflow at idle, and the throttle position sensor can drift out of calibration. The 2.4L 4-cylinder is most commonly affected but the 3.6L V6 is also susceptible. The stall often occurs without a check engine light, making diagnosis frustrating.

What does P2112 mean on Chrysler?▼
P2112 stands for "Throttle Actuator Control System - Stuck Closed." P2112 means the throttle actuator control (electronic throttle) system is stuck in the closed position. On drive-by-wire engines the computer moves the throttle plate with an electric motor and confirms its position with sensors; when it commands the throttle open but the plate won't move past closed, this code sets. This usually triggers limp/failsafe mode with greatly reduced power, a poor or surging idle, or a no-acceleration condition.
