DTC Advanced Diagnostics: P2135
DTC P2135:Throttle Position (TP) Sensor A/B Incorrect Voltage Correlation

General Description


The powertrain control module (PCM) monitors the throttle position (TP) sensor A circuit and the throttle position (TP) sensor B circuit. In order to provide electrical diagnostics the output voltage of both sensors are continuously monitored and compared with other sensors. If the TP sensor B output voltage is a specified value for a specified time, the PCM detects a malfunction and stores a DTC.

Monitor Execution, Sequence, Duration, DTC Type
Execution
Continuous
Sequence
None
Duration
0.5 second or more
DTC Type
One drive cycle, MIL on

Enable Conditions
Condition
 
State of the engine
Running

Malfunction Threshold
Either of the conditions is met:
The absolute difference between the actual throttle position based on the voltage from TP sensor A and the relative air charge signal is greater than 9.02 %.
The absolute difference between the actual throttle position based on the voltage from TP sensor B and the relative air charge signal is greater than 9.02 %.

Possible Cause
NOTE: The causes shown may not be a complete list of all potential problems, and it is possible that there may be other causes.
Throttle body failure (TP sensor A/B)
PCM internal circuit failure

Diagnosis Details
Conditions for setting the DTC
When a malfunction is detected, the MIL comes on and a Pending DTC, a Confirmed DTC, and the freeze data are stored in the PCM memory.

Conditions for clearing the DTC
The MIL is cleared if the malfunction does not return in three consecutive trips in which the diagnostic runs. The MIL, the Pending DTC, the Confirmed DTC, and the freeze data can be cleared with the scan tool Clear command.
