Mazda Factory OBD-II DTC P2142 Code Diagnostic Procedure

Mazda P2142 Intake throttle valve actuator circuit high
DETECTION CONDITION
•  The PCM monitors that the intake throttle valve actuator control circuit voltage at the PCM terminal 247. If the PCM terminal 247 voltage is above threshold when the intake throttle valve actuator operation condition. The PCM determines that intake throttle circuit is high.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
•  Intake throttle valve actuator malfunction
•  Connector or terminal malfunction
•  Short to power circuit in wiring between intake throttle valve actuator terminal C and PCM terminal 247
•  PCM malfunction

•  Is DTC P2142 on FREEZE FRAME DATA?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Go to troubleshooting procedures for DTC in FREEZE FRAME DATA.
4
INSPECT PCM AND INTAKE THROTTLE VALVE ACTUATOR CONNECTORS FOR POOR CONNECTION
•  Turn the engine switch off.
