code P2135 Throttle Position Sensor

[2010WhiteHoe]

I received this error one very cold morning. You get the reduced power and the truck will only go about 15 - 20 mph. I turned the truck off for about :20 minutes and on re-start no issues, just the engine light. Drove it to work and at lunch time approx. 4 hours later. No problem no engine light. After work I drove by O'reilly's #1 and they said it was the Throttle / Pedal Position Sensor (this is under the dash connected to the gas pedal) part # 19259452 $130.00.

O'reilly's #2 said it was the Throttle Position Sensor (sitting on the side of the actual Throttle Body) $52.00

Mr. WhiteHoe decided to get an $11.00 bottle of Seafoam and treat the gas and $8.00 can of Throttle Body cleaner. That was 3 weeks ago. I'm ALL good for $18.00.

p.s. You can google how to clean throttle body without resetting computer. If I did it anyone can.

Okay........ I'm back with my tail between my legs. The p2135 is back (reduced power mode $%^!)

I guess I'll buy the tps and do this https://www.engine-codes.com/p2135_chevrolet.html
this weekend.

What I don't know is if I really need to take it to Chevy to get the computer reset.?.?.?

sooooo yesterday after work, I got the engine light and the reduced power 24 mph for 15 miles later and I kept pulling over to let it reset. I stopped my orielly's a paid the $55.58 and got a good night sleep. I watched the youtube video in the link above, 5 minutes later I was good to go. The idle is much smoother and the throttle response was soooooo much better than before. You can do it!

So you changed the TPS?

I did! see pics below. I have not had the ECU flashed yet.

P2135 is the code that tells you that the two TPS sensors are not reading the same. A scan tool or a good guesser will determine which one is out of spec. You seem to be a good guesser.

you are correct I went with the cheapest 1 first. LOL
