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)
- After installing the new cover, if the scan tool TP Sensor 1 and 2 Agree/Disagree parameter displays Disagree, replace the throttle body assembly.
- If DTC P1516, P2101 and/or P2176 are set, replace the throttle body.
3Correction
Repair
- 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.
- Remove the old TP sensor cover from the throttle body: grasp the cover, carefully lift it up and separate it from the throttle body.
- Tighten the throttle body fasteners to 89 lb in (= 10.1 N·m) (the text prints the metric value as "10 Y").
- Reprogram the ECM using the Service Programming System (SPS) with the latest calibration available on TIS2WEB.
- Perform the Throttle Learn Reset Procedure.
