I have a 2011 3.7 that went into reduced power mode.
Code P2111.
I cleaned the throttle body and reset the ECU.
It still goes to reduced power mode when driven a short distance.
Do I need to replace the throttle body or is there a fix I do not know about.
All advise will be greatly appreciated.
48000 miles. Warranty went out in June.

If you cleaned the throttle body so that the plate isn't binding, then I would check the wiring next. And get some electrical cleaning spray and clean the contacts too.

Any modifications to your car?

Uncle Paw Paw

no modifications and I have cleaned the wiring today to no avail.
Still searching and my daughter is wanting me to get her car on the road.

Then you've done the easy stuff - so next up would be the actual throttle body motor has an issue. Do you know anyone near by who would let you swap their throttle body on and see if the problem continues? Otherwise, go to the junkyard and try to pick up a throttle body cheap

Thanks for the help. I did what was recommended and now I see that a new throttle body is the solution. I appreciate the input. Sometimes I just need a different view or some knowledge fromm experienced individuals. I enjoy repairing things myself and I am really good at taking this throttle body on and off so. I was pleased to see that a brand new one is not as expensive as the first Ford dealership offered it to me for. Used price is exceptionally easy on the pocketbook.

Are there any tips on new equipment instillation that I need to know. ECU, etc....
I am putting a genuine ford part new throttle body.

Just to let everyone know that the new $228.00 dollar throttle body fixed my problem.

Good to hear the new TB fixed the issue!
It seems odd to me that the TB went bad in a 2011. :/
