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 lightReduced brakingDoes not startStalls or shuts offSteering effort change

Record by record

11 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.

Symptom

Component named as the cause

Work done

How it is said to have ended

  • says it held for a while2
  • says it did not fix it10
  • result not stated1

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.

    IP to Body Harness Connector Repair for MIL and DTC P2138

    1. 1Fault

      • The engine warning lamp comes on intermittently with a message or indicator showing Reduced Engine Power.
      • DTC P2138 (Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensor 1-2 Correlation) is set as current or in history.

    2. 2Finding the cause

      Possible causes

      • Water may have entered the instrument panel (IP) to body harness connector, which carries the APP sensor signals to the ECM/PCM.

      Steps to confirm (in the document’s order)

      1. Verify that no aftermarket equipment is electrically connected to the APP sensor signal or low reference circuits, or to any other ECM/PCM 5V reference or low reference circuit.
      2. Locate the IP to body harness connector, which may be in or around the left hand kick panel area or inside the IP.
      3. Inspect for a water leak in the area, using a water hose if necessary to find the source.
      4. Possible water leak points include the A-pillar seals, the sunroof drain lines (if equipped) and the windshield/cowl sealing.
      5. Inspect the terminals of the IP to body harness connector for corrosion and debris.

    3. 3Correction

      Repair

      1. If a water leak is found, repair it as necessary and verify that the repair is effective.
      2. If corrosion or debris is found on the connector terminals, repair as necessary.

      Caution

      • Aftermarket equipment can generate DTC P2138 and/or other DTCs.

  5. 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.
