Problem overview

Some Chrysler 300 owners report experiencing electronic throttle control issues, including a blinking Electronic Throttle Control light and the ESP light activating after extended driving. These problems may require resetting the electronic throttle control system, but addressing the underlying issues is crucial to prevent recurrence. Additionally, owners have noted that the ESP BAS light indicates faults affecting stability and traction control, which can persist even after using an OBD2 scanner to reset the code. Error code UH100 is also reported, signaling specific problems within the vehicle's systems, and accurate diagnosis through a code reader is recommended. Furthermore, some owners find that cleaning the throttle body is essential, as a dirty throttle can lead to sticky movements and exacerbate ETC problems. If the ESP light remains on, it may indicate a malfunction in the ESP system, potentially requiring realignment or replacement of the Steering Angle Sensor. Prompt attention to these issues is vital for the safety and proper functioning of the Chrysler 300.
