P2101 and P2110: throttle actuator control motor range and forced limited RPM
P2110 is not a fault in itself — it is the ECU announcing it has capped your engine speed. The fault that caused it is somewhere else in the list.

The throttle plate did not return to where the ECU expects it to rest. Nine times out of ten that is carbon, and the fix has a mandatory second step.
The fault is at the pedal, not at the engine. That single distinction saves people from cleaning a throttle body that was never the problem.
Two codes that tell you exactly which end of the drive-by-wire system to look at. Reading them correctly is the difference between a pedal and a throttle body.
Injectors are fed in groups. A supply fault takes out several cylinders at once, which looks like a catastrophic engine problem and usually is not.
The code that appears after a job that should have gone well. Cleaning the throttle body moved the physical zero and nobody told the ECU.
A rich condition that appears once you are off idle points somewhere different from one that is present all the time. The load dependency is the diagnosis.
Mixture errors that only appear under load are the ones that hide from an idle test. On a turbocharged engine they usually point at boost, not fuel.
The sensor is not out of range and not dead. It is simply not moving the way a working sensor moves, and the ECU has noticed the difference.
The most expensive sensor on a modern diesel, and the one that stops AdBlue dosing when it fails. Neither of those facts is obvious from the code.
Wideband sensors work differently from the switching sensors most guides describe, and testing them the old way gives an answer that looks alarming and means nothing.
Most codes describe a symptom and leave you to find the cause. This one states the cause outright, which makes the search unusually direct.
