Default need some help with CEL

well its been 95,xxx miles on my hemi and i am getting my first problem (other than the brakes problem) and im getting this CEL p2175 i dont realy understand what is goin on, the CEL just came on along with light that looks like a thunder bolt and i turned the truck off then on again and it went away then i went to my job to see if it whould read any codes and it came up with whats in the picture below only thing i chould find in our systems was that TAC stands for throttle actuator, has anyone gotten this code? and if so how did you fix it?

My owners manual says that the "lightning bolt" is the electronic throttle and this will illuminate if there is a problem. Now as far as the rest of your prob I can't help. Sorry!

I agree that is a list and a half. I work part time at an Advance Auto Parts and I would go with what he wrote. The code scanners we use are not what I would consider a diagnostic tool. They will tell you a little but it is a very little!! Good luck and I hope it is real real simple.

WOW, that is a list!! sheeish... so I guess it's a 30 pack Keystone weekend huh, did this fix your prob? I've had this issue for 2 years but only use the truck to load and unload a boat so it was never a big issue till now

( boat dock removed)
