How to remove P2108 with Softechpro V5
Recommended service: DTC OFF (throttle branch) — diagnose first. Step-by-step workflow:
- Throttle codes often indicate genuine carbon buildup or pedal sensor drift. Clean the body and reset adaptation before tuning.
- If the code persists after cleaning: load .bin into Softechpro V5, pick DTC OFF + throttle DTC group, save patched .bin, flash back.
