My 2011 Expedition, 66,000 miles went into limp mode about 3 weeks ago, towed it to my friends shop. Ran the codes and P2111 an P2112 showed up. Throttle body and accelerator assembly were replaced. Code P2111 still an issue. In the mean time my buddy is trying to get his friend at Ford to call him and discuss the problem, vacation, 4th of July, yadda, yadda, yadda. I am beside myself without my truck. We go to drive it 3 miles to the Ford dealer and it gets 100 yards, dead, get a tow truck and send it to Ford on a Friday. Here it is Tuesday and they found the problem (they think). This is verbatim off the service report: "Cust reporting at times the vehicle loses throttle response and goes into failsafe - car has had DTCS P02111 and P02112- car has a new throttle pedal and a new throttle body with no change. Inspect and Report. Verify, perf system diag. pinpoint to suspect ETB, contact hotline. Perf load test on ETB power circuits, FAIL, found hardshell connector pins spread. Replace hardshell. Retest. Pass.
$191 on top of the throttle body $320, accelerator pedal $105 and it is like new, I hope. The service manager said it was caused by the previous work done on the vehicle . . . what? Oil Change? I bought the car brand new and Ford replaced a "clicking" accelerator pedal when it had 5,000 miles on it. That is all that has been done to this car. Now how did the pins get bent to cause the codes to show up? I thought the kid changing the throttle body might have done it, no the car quit before he worked on it (he is a Ford schooled technician). It must have been done in the factory at assembly, no other explanation. So there, before you replace all that stuff, check the pin connector to the throttle body, it is a way cheaper fix.
