P2135

DTC P2135

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION




The throttle position (TP) sensor 1 and the TP sensor 2 are potentiometer type sensors. Both sensor types have the following circuits:
- A 5-volt reference circuit
- A low reference circuit
- A signal circuit

The TP sensor provides the engine control module (ECM) with a signal voltage proportional to the throttle plate movement. The TP sensor 1 signal voltage at closed throttle is near the 5-volt reference and decreases as the throttle plate is opened. The TP sensor 2 signal voltage at closed throttle is near the low reference and increases as the throttle plate is opened. When the control module detects that the TP sensor 1 and the TP sensor 2 signal circuits are out of correlation with each other, DTC P2135 will set.

CONDITIONS FOR RUNNING THE DTC
- The engine is running
- The ignition voltage is more than 5.25 volts.
- DTCs P0641 and P0651 are not set.

CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC
The ECM detects that the difference between TP sensor 1 and TP sensor 2 is more than the predicted value.

ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
- The control module stores the DTC information into memory when the diagnostic runs and fails.
- The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) will not illuminate.
- The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The control module stores this information in the Failure Records.
- The driver information center, if equipped, may display a message.

CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE DTC
- A current DTC Last Test Failed clears when the diagnostic runs and passes.
- A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other non-emission related diagnostic.
- Clear the DTC with a scan tool.
