Service bulletin Service Bulletin
A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

NHTSA's summary
Service bulletin - The MIL comes on with DTC P2101 (electronic throttle control system malfunction) stored. The vehicle may enter failsafe mode and experience a lack of power or poor acceleration. The problem is intermittent, and cycling the ignition will usually restore the vehicle to its normal function. However, the MIL will remain on and DTC P2101 will be stored. The PGM-FI misinterprets the electronic throttle control system and sets DTC P2101.
