Acadia Engine Power Reduced! Replacing the Throttle Body to solve the terrible trifecta error codes

Traction control off, service stabilitrak, and engine power reduced are sometimes know as the terrible trifecta of error codes. When these codes pop up it results in a car that is almost undrivable. It will need to be fixed immediately. Often the cause is a failed throttle position sensor. The throttle position sensor is an integral part of the throttle body. Here I replace the Throttle body to solve this.

Great video! I have a Buick Enclave and it had a slight delay in accelerating after I let my foot off the pedal both moving and coming from a stop. I had no trouble codes. I swapped out both the accelerator pedal and the throttle position sensor. Problem solved

[@Srinivasan-ps9ql]

I have the exact same problem in my GMC Acadia 2011 . Can I clean the throttle body with throttle cleaner?

[@inZane-]
