2006 DODGE RAM SRT-10 ignition

P2072-ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL SYSTEM - ICE BLOCKAGE
For a complete wiring diagramRefer to Section 8W.
When Monitored:
Ignition on.
Set Condition:
The PCM recognizes the Throttle plate is stuck during extremely cold Ambient Temperature operation. The
throttle plate goes through a de-icing procedure. If the throttle blade still doesn’t move this fault sets. The MIL
will not illuminate. The vehicle willbe in Limp home condition, limiting rpm and vehicle speed.
Possible Causes
THROTTLE PLATE FROZEN
Diagnostic Test
1.THROTTLE BODY INSPECTION
Ignition on, engine not running.
With a scan tool, read DTCs and record the related Freeze Frame data.
NOTE: This DTC sets in extreme cold Ambient Temperatures with the throttleplatestuckbythetimethe
vehicle gets to the dealership the condition may be corrected.
NOTE: Diagnose any other DTCs that may also be set before continuing.
Turn the ignition off.
Remove the Air Cleaner Assembly from the Throttle Body.
Check for any signs of a foreign material (ice or dirt) on the Throttle Plateor in the bore causing the Throttle Plate
to stick.

Theory of Operation
This DTC sets when an unexpected high intake manifold air flow condition exists that can lead to increased engine
speed and puts the NGC into a High Air flow Protection limiting mode. The High Air flow Protection feature includes
RPM limits for when a Throttle and/or MAP sensor limp-in fault is present.
When Monitored:
During all drive modes
Set Condition:
If vacuum drops below 1.5
Hg with engine RPM greater than 2000 RPM and closed throttle. One Trip Fault.
Three good trips to turn off the MIL.

Diagnostic Test
1.ACTIVE DTC
NOTE: Diagnose any TP Sensor or MAP Sensor component DTCs before continuing.
NOTE: If the P0501 - No Vehicle Speed Signal is set long with this DTC, refer to the P0501 diagnostics
before continuing.
NOTE: The throttle plate and linkage should be free from binding and carbonbuild up.
NOTE: Make sure the throttle plate is at the idle position.
Ignition on, engine not running.

Refer to the INTERMITTENT CONDITION Diagnostic Procedure.
Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)

2.VACUUM LEAK
NOTE: This code is enabled on engines with a plastic intake manifold and is intended to shut down the
engine if a large crack occurs.
NOTE: A large vacuum leak is most likely the cause of this DTC.
Inspect the Intake Manifold for leaks and cracks.
Inspect the Power Brake Booster for any vacuum leaks.
Inspect the PCV system for proper operation and vacuum leaks.
Inspect the throttle plate to see if it is bent and will close entirely, if itis bent it may need to be replaced.
Inspect the MAP Sensor for proper installation.
Verify the engine is free from any mechanical failures.
Were any vacuum leaks found?
