A flaw of the Suzuki Vitara Hybrid

Model: Suzuki Vitara LY - Years 2015-2024
Part: Throttle body

In this video we can see a Suzuki Vitara Hybrid with a throttle body failure: the car goes into protection mode, loses power, runs erratically and the engine does not respond to accelerator inputs. The reason is a malfunction in the throttle body motor that is sending incorrect signals to the ECU, so when accelerating, the throttle does not open as it should, interrupting communication with the ECU. Through a diagnostic scanner, the specific error code is read, such as P2101, indicating a malfunction in the throttle valve control circuit. Unfortunately, the only solution is to replace the entire throttle body, which cannot be repaired, but only replaced as a whole, and it has a high price: 280.00 euros just for the part. Furthermore, it is a part that is not normally in stock at spare parts shops, so the car was out of commission for a week. Fortunately, the YouTuber admits that the Vitara's engine is well-designed, so the replacement is quite easy, and labor costs do not add too much to the overall cost.
