P2119 on Ford
Throttle Actuator Control Throttle Body Range/Performance
P2119 on Ford vehicles indicates throttle actuator control throttle body range/performance. Au7o has documented this code across 1 Ford model — most commonly on Fiesta. The PCM detected that the throttle body / throttle plate is not operating within the expected range or performance, for example the plate not returning to or holding the commanded position. It indicates a mechanical or performance fault in the throttle body assembly. Typical repair costs on Ford range from $250 to $700, depending on the specific model and root cause.

- Electronic Throttle Body Failure — Sudden Limp Mode & Wrench Light2011-2019
The drive-by-wire electronic throttle body (ETB) develops an internal electronic/motor fault (not just dirt) that causes the powertrain control module to command reduced power. The car drops into limp mode with a wrench/powertrain-malfunction light, often storing throttle-position or actuator-control codes. Because the failure is internal to the unit, cleaning does not fix it. This is a recognized Ford-family ETB problem shared with Focus, Escape, Fusion and Transit Connect, and is reported by Fiesta owners including on the 1.6L engines.
