P2118 - No Start (most of the time)
Trying to figure out next steps on this. Problem started a couple weeks ago.
The car is a 2010 Honda Accord with about 180k miles.
Couple weeks ago, my wife said the car struggled to start. I looked at the dash and saw no warning lights. I checked the battery and it was a little low, so I replaced it.
I tried starting the car after changing the battery and noticed a green key light flash and a check engine light. When I tried starting it, it would attempt to start but never turn over.
Green light means the car isn’t detecting the correct key. I ran the code and got P2118 which is - Throttle Actuator Control Motor Current Range/Performance
Car has 1 original key and 1 valet key. Both keys had the same result. Would take 6-7 tries before car would actually start.
Here’s what I’ve done:
- I replaced the throttle body and did relearn procedures
- I had an extra key cut and programmed it (been wanting a second one) and this key gives same results as the original and valet.
- I checked the fuses for the ignition and throttle body
- I checked the relay that controls the ignition and all other starting components
I hooked my reader up to read the data as it was idling.
Throttle Position B was at 30% at idle. Range is suppose to be 0-14
Throttle Position D was at 20% at idle. Range is suppose to be at 0-14.
Any ideas on next steps or what I should check?
Appreciate it!
