The vehicle (where a record says)

A record is under an engine, a drive or a series only where it says so: the characters of the vehicle identification number filed with a complaint, its text, or what its document says it applies to. A record that does not say is kept as "not stated". The filed numbers and the documents do not tell 4WD from AWD.

Common on this vehicle:Loss of engine power, no accelerationWarning light

Record by record

5 records state a cause or a remedy. Each record is shown as short labels in the order fault → finding the cause → correction. Press a label to narrow to the records that state it.

A ribbon is as wide as the records that state both of its ends (only the commonest are drawn). A record that names several symptoms or components runs through each. Orange is records that say the fault came back or was not fixed. Results come from owners’ reports only; one that does not say is “result not stated”. None of this is a likelihood of a cause or a rate at which work succeeds.

  1. Manufacturer communication2005 GMC YUKON XL ・ 2018-05-21

    Throttle Position Sensor Cover Replacement

    1. 1Fault

      • The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) is illuminated with a Reduced Engine Power message displayed.
      • A scan tool may show DTC P2135: Throttle Position (TP) Sensor 1-2 Correlation set as Current or in History.
    2. 2Finding the cause

      Possible causes

      • The condition may be caused by the difference between TP Sensor 1 and TP Sensor 2 exceeding a calibrated value for more than 2 seconds.

      Steps to confirm (in the document’s order)

      1. After installing the new cover, if the scan tool TP Sensor 1 and 2 Agree/Disagree parameter displays Disagree, replace the throttle body assembly.
      2. If DTC P1516, P2101 and/or P2176 are set, replace the throttle body.
    3. 3Correction

      Repair

      1. Clean the throttle body bore and throttle plate with a clean shop towel and GM Top Engine Cleaner, P/N 1052626 (in Canada, P/N 993026), or ACDelco Upper Engine and Fuel Injector Cleaner, P/N 88861803, or an equivalent product.
      2. Remove the old TP sensor cover from the throttle body: grasp the cover, carefully lift it up and separate it from the throttle body.
      3. Tighten the throttle body fasteners to 89 lb in (= 10.1 N·m) (the text prints the metric value as "10 Y").
      4. Reprogram the ECM using the Service Programming System (SPS) with the latest calibration available on TIS2WEB.
      5. Perform the Throttle Learn Reset Procedure.
