Test Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Chevrolet Corvette. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. 21:  When the TAC module detects a condition within the TAC system, more than 1 TAC system related DTC may set. This is due to the many redundant tests that run continuously on this system. Locating and repairing 1 individual condition may correct more than 1 DTC. Disconnecting components during testing may set additional DTCs. Keep this in mind when reviewing the Capture Info.
DTC P2135

Step Action Yes No
Schematic Reference:  Engine Controls Schematics 
Connector End View References:  Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Connector End Views  , or  Engine Controls Connector End Views 
1 Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check-Engine Controls? Go to Step 2  Go to Diagnostic System Check - Engine Controls
2 Is DTC P1518 also set? Go to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List Go to Step 3

  1. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  2. Observe the throttle position (TP) sensor 1 and sensor 2 Agree/Disagree parameter, with a scan tool.
Does the scan tool TP sensor 1 and sensor 2 Agree/Disagree parameter indicate Disagree?
Go to Step 5  Go to Step 4 
4
  1. Remove the air inlet duct from the throttle body.
  2. Disconnect the throttle actuator motor harness connector.
  3. Slowly, manually open the throttle blade to wide open throttle (WOT) and back to the closed throttle position several times while observing the scan tool TP sensor Agree/Disagree parameter.
Does the TP sensor Agree/Disagree parameter change from Agree to Disagree during the above test?
Go to Step 18  Go to Step 5
