Thank you so much for this video. I've been having this issue with my Jeep and the dealership told me it was going to be $700 to fix it. This just saved me
Nice video. My 2010 patriot has 125k miles and started acting like it was having trouble shifting or hesitating whilst accelerating. Saw a red light flicker above gas gauge but couldn’t see what it was exactly. Pulled out the owners manual and tried to see what light flickered. It was that red )lightning bolt( which is the Electronic Throttle Control. Decided to just buy one and hope it was that causing the issue and not the transmission. Everything worked out good just had some trouble getting that damn plastic Christmas tree clip off the hose. I did buy mine off Amazon for like 80 bucks and came with a gasket and it started right up and drove it about 5-10 miles on the highway to see if it would do it again and it did not so I think this fixed it. Thanks!
I ended up buying the exact same replacement throttle body from advance auto, once it was installed it went directly into limp mode, with a lighting light. I ended up returning the throttle body and got a new one that did the exact same thing. In the end, I just ended up cleaning the old throttle body and it worked. P2173 was cleared.
Got a 2016 Jeep Patriot Sport 2 weeks ago with 113,000 miles, I know that was stupid af now but it’s too late. Already changed the spark plugs the day I got it when I got it home because I could tell something was off (it was jerking with acceleration after 45mph). Today the engine light came on, took it to Auto Zone and got a p2173 code back, too much air intake somewhere. It does idle strange.... sounds like it’s pulling in air and puffing out hard if that makes sense lol.. taking t to the auto shop Monday but if anyone has any ideas to what y’all think it could be.. PLEASE let me know. Need to know about how much I’ll be paying.
On this Jeep no but that doesn't mean you won't have to. I actually had this jeep back in for lower ball joints and the owner told me it's been running great since I changed the throttle body. I believe it's been a year since it was changed.
So i just did this job on my sisters car. her car is a 2014 jeep patriot 2.0l. You can buy the throttle body on amazon for about $60. It takes less than 30 minutes for remove and install. People or dealerships will charge $400 or so which to me is way to much. Save your money by watching this video and doing it yourself.👍🏼‼
Would you mind adding the link to the part? Got a 2016 Jeep Patriot Sport 2 weeks ago with 113,000 miles, I know that was stupid af now but it’s too late.

Today the engine light came on, took it to Auto Zone and got a p2173 code back, too much air intake somewhere. It does idle strange.... sounds like it’s pulling in air and puffing out hard if that makes sense lol.. I’d rather take care of it myself instead of paying for it to be repaired..
Used the parts recommended in the video and the engine light hasn't cleared. Car works fine again though. Took it to the dealer to see if they could clear it and they gave me some BS explanation that the throttle bottle isn't compatible and can't be reprogrammed with the car. Any other reason why this wouldn't clear the check engine light even though it's working good?
You can try buy a little scanner clear the codes and see if it’ll come back or you can just go to the dealership and order the OEM part and get it reprogrammed
I am getting error code P2173 on my Compass 2.4L and engine light is on. It is not sluggishness but he Lightning bolt display error will show up sometimes. When it does the engine is sluggishness at that time. Will cleaning the throttle body and mass air sensor fix this possibly?
How do you program the throttle body? I was told I had to make sure it was programed to my Jeep's computer. I have a 2016 Jeep Patriot that needs this work done. I was told stepping on the gas pedal a few times or taking off the battery. Not sure what to do. We do this once we are done right?.~
I had throttle body problem in my 2014. All I did is buy a new throttle body. Unhooked my battery and took out the old throttle body and put the new one. My car is running great since then and no more codes. Soon I started the car the code is done.
I’ve replaced mine twice, 1 year apart but still keep getting the traction control light. I stop the Jeep and turn it completely off and it’s fine. What could it be, because I cannot figure it out.
This is what happened to me today with my 2016. Traction control light came on and off but the check engine light stayed on. I turned it over after a while and the check engine light went off. Got a p2173 code at autozone.... it idles odd... sorta like it’s pulling in air and pushing it out hard if that makes sense. I desperately wish I knew someone who knew about vehicles because I just cannot afford the cost of a mechanic right now. Any ideas you might have please share lol
Day one,, I cleaned the throttle body. I disconnected the battery and connected the leads thinking that would reset the computer. I did this twice. Still the same ETC errors. I was disappointed and frustrated thinking it may be the manifold gasket. After a few more days of driving in safe mode, a mechanic I knew reset the computer with his scanner. Once he reset it with his scanner the error never came back. Moral of the story is make sure the computer is reset properly! I wasted an entire week.

Is there not an idle relearn or pcm reset procedure when changing the TB?

@Tamara Hine Yes I did. At end I'm just using the old throttle body, I had to reset the throttle position and it stopped going into limp mode.
I’m gonna try the same. Replacing it and seeing if it helps if not just clean it.
How do you reset the tps?
@@danielsegreti4475 just drive
What engine size 2.0 2.4
Is it the same for both engines ?

I broke that clip on the side of the hose, am I in trouble?
How the heck do you get that house on over the rubber gasket?
I really need to replace mine on my patriot. Just can’t find a throttle body anywhere! Nowhere seems to sell them for my Jeep, not even online. (Uk)
Very good video.....my question is..
After remove the the part??we have to erase the code p2173...or it go off by him self??
Thanks so much for such viedo, can you please tell me the model number for jeep Patriot 2013?
Perfect
life saver
Did you have to do a “pedal dance” key switch sequence to make it learn the new part?
On this Jeep no but that doesn't mean you won't have to. I actually had this jeep back in for lower ball joints and the owner told me it's been running great since I changed the throttle body. I believe it's been a year since it was changed.

Did you have to reset the pcm or do an idle relearn or was it all bolt off bolt om and everything worked once plugged back in?

yes, you should at least remove it and clean it.
I have the same question, does it need to be programmed if i replace it?
No

@@abbi277 did you get it resolved?
This is happening to me as well replaced the throttle body but still keeps doing it
The crankshaft central sensor might need to be changed or the compressor foryour ac needs to be replaced.

How do you reset the computer?
@@paulwood4056 that doesn't reset the computer. his friend used a code scanner to turn off the code. this is for other readers down the road
@@user-vb1qi4gt9kfor the other readers you need to do an electronic throttle control relearn with a scan tool.
My 2014 Jeep Patriot had the same problem the mechanic is going to replace this part for 70 bucks.
