How To Fix Reduced Engine Power Quick And Simple! Code P2135 Chevy Or GMC Trucks / SUV's! TPS Issue!

I’ve been doing with this problem for two years now same exact suv and have spent $5500 plus with two different mechanics it stops for a few months and starts again… i wish i saw you video in 2020 thanks 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@jerrybuck9236]

You are also able to replace just the throttle position sensor, rather than the entire throttle body. You used to not be able to purchase them separately, but we’ve been able to for a while now. Disconnecting the battery would have cleared your codes.

Had this truck for 15 years if this ever happens to some one just pull to the side turn off. Wait 30 secs hold gas pedal as you turn on and let go as soon as engine turns. When it turn on. Turn it off again. And finally turn it on again normally Should be fine for a few days or years.

March 24, 2024 @ 1440 hours, this video was RIGHT ON!! We went to O'Reily's and here's their optoins in Texas: $250 for brand new with lifetime warranty; $216 Brand new but with 1-year warranty; or $185 remanufactured with 1-year warranty. We opted for a brand new Hitachi with the 1-year warranty, it's a 2007 Silverado 5.3 and it worked perfectly finally. Before it would start & run, at other times occasionally or rarely it would turn on but it would sound like it wasn't running right, all of those indicator lights would trip, Stabilitrak, Low Power mode and I forget the other thing & we managed to plug the computer in, code was P2135. We left the original greenish seal there, we just cleaned it and the little groove or space & it fired up like a champ. Before it would start but no matter how much you depressed the accelerator it wouldn't respond in the slightest, now you press it and she ROARS LIKE A LION AGAIN!! Thank you Terence The DIY'er.

Thanks for showing the process of the throttle body replacement. I am having this issue with my 2011 Avalanche with all those lights popping on and motor going into reduced power mode. I looked at my throttle body and it appears pretty clean but I did however order an AC Delco throttle position sensor with plans to replace in next day or so. Really hoping this resolves my issue, it is very frustrating when pulling a car trailer and the truck can basically only idle off to the side of the road.

[@TerenceDIY]

Dude, I had to do this to my '12 Yukon 5.3l about a week ago (it's Dec. 2023 now) and it ran horribly after installing the new trhrottle body. The manual relearn didn't work, it kept wanting to idle at 3k RPM, would surge while driving, etc. Had to take it to a shop to force the relearn as my code scanner doesn't have relearn service capability (should have just bought one that did with what the shop charged me to do it). Then it was still running lean, wouldn't idle properly (though it at least wasn't up at 3k RPM anymore). I had to replace the MAF sensor, and it was fine after that (mostly lol).

I have a 2013 gmc sierra and it happened to me last night out of the blue my truck didn't have any other issues before then , I ended up driving it home doing about 30mph 'which was about 50 mins away usually ' so is that the only way to fix that problem.

Hi, It is the most common however, there could be other issues. Do you know what code it is throwing? If it is the P2135 It's probably the throttle body. Let me know the code if you can.

I'm impressed with your car knowledge! Thank you for being willing to help us out. And you almost always reply with an answer-- not many take the time to do that! We have an 04 Chevy Tahoe that does the reduced engine power code. Mostly it's when you are first starting the car, but now it's happening just driving down the road. Husband did something with grounding a wire, and it never did it then for about a month. Back to doing it again. You and others mentioned something with the ? ?"electrical harness"?. Does this sound like a possibility here? And if so do you know how much something like that would cost to repair?

[@TerenceDIY]

Yep, Chevy released a bulletin back in the day about the harness having issues. I'm not sure how much a repair shop would charge you guys. Tell your husband to check the harness that the throttle body plug is connected to and follow it back while looking for any frayed or damaged wires. I wish I were there to fix it for you guys.

[@dennisalstonZ06]

I have a 2008 Chevy Impala LT 3.5l v6. I have replaced the throttle body on it and it still say engine power reduced and service traction control. Any idea what the problem could be.

[@TerenceDIY]

Can you send me the trouble code? I have the book and software on that car. I probably can tell you what your issue is. Thanks,

[@hugoarreola4770]

Im having thos issue aswell left me stranded..i though i was my alternator..but it just did it again luckily i was close to my house...i got code. P1516 ..P2101..P2135..

[@TerenceDIY]

You should unplug the connector to the throttle body and inspect it to see if the contacts are intact. Clean it before reconnecting it. Also inspect that harness. The throttle body will not set off all three of those codes. The wire harness that connects to that throttle body has been a problem for these vehicles. This was published on a bulletin by GM back years ago. That would be my initial diagnose before changing out parts. Thanks for watching.

[@TerenceDIY]

You should check the harness that follows the connector that plugs into the throttle body. I've seen mutiple post on the Chevrolet bulletin about the wires that run to the throttle body being the issue. Also, did you replace it with an original GM throttle body? The aftermarket ones are not that good.

I have a question for you about my 2003 chevy suburban. I know spark plugs are one of the most simply stupidest things to replace however my truck has a totally different set up and unsure how to go about replacing them. It's like 3 nuts to a plate to remove a spark plug, as if they have a computer to each one.

[@TerenceDIY]

You have to be talking about the ignition coil? You should watch my tune-up video. It shows everything in great detail. It will help you significantly.

Quick question when that happened did the engine vibrate when accelerating because to my suburban it would do that

[@TerenceDIY]

No, it did not vibrate. It would barely accelerate and shift hard out of first gear.

Hey am i missing something here or did you forget to mention that ypu have to relearn it?

Nope, I did not have to relearn it. A few commented saying they had to but not in my case. I removed the battery cable during the removal and installation to trick the system. It works almost all the time for me. Thanks for watching.
