P2072
Throttle Actuator Control System - Ice Blockage

What it means
The electronic throttle on bank 1 is jammed by ice — typical at very low ambient temperatures with high humidity, after a short trip that did not warm the throttle housing. The strategy attempts a self-clearing motion before setting the code.
