P1614 Throttle idle position failure on throttle release

 

[Bob Denman]

Yup! :shocked:
I don't know what it means... but that's what the code says... :dontknow:
The throttle won't engage... is the cruise control somehow locked-on? :yikes: (Wild brainstroming...)

Adjustment or..!!

may need mechanical adjustment or a computer update through BUDS. According to code but try letting the computer reset and try again. Don't know if your testing could have changed or messed with the sensor. It also mentions the ecm...lets us know how it goes..!! :gaah:

tried everything I could but no luck :banghead::banghead: Dealership came and towed :spyder2: away. Hope it's nothing serious ray:ray:ray: Will hear from them when diagnosed:yikes::yikes::yikes::yikes::yikes::yikes:

Simply put, you need a new throttle body.

 

[RTVIPER]

I agree with needing a new throttle body :gaah::gaah: I just ray: it's covered under extended warranty. :spyder2: is just over 2 years old.

 

[Bob Denman]

It should be... :thumbup:

Basically it's when you hold the throttle wide open and press the start button. It allows you to check the cranking amps w/o starting the engine if you think your battery is bad or dead. do not recommend doing this unless it's your last resort. I wish I didn't even know about it. :sour::sour::sour: There's a thread on it if you do a search for dead battery or something similar.

...and believe it or not it comes from the shop manual.

Well it's official. Throttle body/assembly needs to be replaced :gaah: How am I going to survive with no riding for approx 10-14 days? :banghead::banghead: Gonna have to drink the days away:cheers::cheers::cheers:

What exactly is failing on the throttle bodies and why cant it be repaired rather than replaced?
I have yet to find a picture here on SL of what this looks like?
Since I have a 2011 might it be good to order one and have it handy?

It is the throttle positioner on most, althought there are other failures. The way I understand it the positioner is calibrated to the throttle body during manufacture, and is neither adjustable or available separately. I can't be sure of that, but replacing the throttle body is the service bulletin prescribed repair.

This has been superceded by Warranty Bulletin 2011-7, which calls for throttle body replacement if that code is found.
