P2112 on Ford vehicles
279 owner complaints filed with NHTSA about Ford vehicles mention P2112 (Throttle Actuator A Control System - Stuck Closed) - across 14 models. Below is where it shows up, by model and year.
Can you drive with it? Limp home only - the engine will idle and creep, but a throttle that cannot open is no throttle for merging or climbing.
Symptoms, likely causes in order and realistic repair costs are on the main P2112 page - they do not differ much by brand. This page shows what is specific to Ford: which models and years actually report it.

What Ford owners report
“Exited side street onto main 4 lane main road with a median. Upon pulling out wrench light appeared causing all power to engine to cease, oncoming traffic almost hit me. Upon limping into median I shut vehicle off and turned back on. Wrench light was gone, check engine light was there. Code P2112, P2004, P2009.”2014 Ford F-150 · Jul 2026
“Truck threw code P2112 Throttle body plate closed. Truck immediatly went into limp mode meaning on only poorly tried to idle, no throttle. This is the SECOND time this part has gone bad on this truck. Never mind they are 600 dollars to replace, it was a very dangerous to have the truck just die during a merge onto highway manuver. If I have to do it twice, how many hundreds of thousands of these failures exist? The first time it happened, I almost crashed. My ford dealer says he sells "alot" of this part. Part number failure is BL3Z9E926B”2013 Ford F-150 · May 2024
“1.) P2112- Throttle Actuator Control System stuck in closed position, no as I was able to get it to work again but looking at replacing the throttle body, so in the future yes. 2.) My saftey was at risk as it failed going over 70+ mph and made my vehicle shake violently. 3.)No but this is the 2nd time in 6 months this has happened. 4.) No 5.)had a power train lamp come on (2011 ford f150 wrench light) right as I lost complete throttle response going 72 MPH”2011 Ford F-150 · Apr 2024
“Two issues. The first issue arose due to a leak in the "y" pipe under the air box. Upon replacing that connector, the throttle body had to be removed to get room to reinstall. Upon reinstallation of the throttle body, the truck falls into limp mode unexpectedly during normal driving, in traffic. Installed ned throttle body from parts store and still throws the p2112 code.”2014 Ford F-150 · Jan 2024
