P2138 2004 Saturn Vue
Car came in with p2138 4 months ago,different tech did throttle body and pedal ASSEMBLY.CAME back yesterday same ISSUE.GO into limp mode reduced power.I go to c200 connector find 6 burned wires from water coming IN.REPAIRED wires and also looked at c102 and at this point I can not figure this one out at ALL.LOOKING for no "magic bullet" just looking for another channel to SWIM.AS thot maybe new fresh EYEBALLS.THANKS
At this point I would concentrate on monitoring the APP sensor signals directly at the PCM especially after what you found at the C200 connector. Monitor as many as you can simultaneously while test driving or manipulating the harness or load test the six wires from the APP to the PCM.
I recall reading somewhere the same thing to monitor the app sensors,oddly enough they are within what gm si says is exceptable?
And since you mentioned the water intrusion there is a bulletin about that tied to the P…F.
Do you have a two good 5v references at the pedal? What does scan data show when you sweep the pedal?
I also need to get back to this chitbox LATTER.HAVE to help another tech figure out why after front brake job done he has no turn signals :(
Clear codes and actuate the pedal all the way with the key on engine off. Does the code come back right away?
Do you have a scope? If no what test equipment do you have? Does the vehicle go into limp mode immediately or is there a condition that causes it? Have you monitored data while moving harness?
Car does it very random,I drove it and nothing,si I drove and it went a block then limp
Im still on a learning curve with a SCOPE.ALL these years never really needed and now im taking classes paid by great company owner.
Depends on time of day or days from what we have seen and customer explanation.
TO ALL OF YOU THANK YOU,HAD A YOUNGER TECH PULL SEAT AND CARPET.WE/HE FOUND WHERE SOMEONE THOT THAT CUTTING WIRES AND INSTALLING OPEN NO PROTECTION BUTT CONNECTORS WAS SMART,FULL OF GREEN CHEESE.I REALLY HAVE INJOYED THIS SITE AS MUCH AS I DID iA#$,AGAIN THANKS TO ALL OF YOU FOR THE HELP.YES I WILL AT 50YRS OLD LEARN TO USE A SCOPE,MY 3 BOYS ARE MASTER TECHS AT OTHER…
