2010 Cadillac Truck Escalade/ESV RWD V8-6.2L Page 1951
Circuit/System Description
The throttle body assembly contains 2 throttle position (TP) sensors. The TP sensors are mounted to the throttle body assembly and are not
serviceable. The TP sensors provide a signal voltage that changes relative to throttle blade angle. The engine control module (ECM) supplies the TP
sensors with a common 5 V reference circuit, a common low reference circuit, and two independent signal circuits.
The TP sensors have opposite functionality. TP sensor 1 signal voltage decreases and TP sensor 2 signal voltage increases as the accelerator pedal
increases to wide open throttle (WOT).
Conditions for Running the DTC
* DTC P0641 or P0651 is not set.
* The run/crank or powertrain relay voltage is greater than 6 V and reduced power is not active.
* The ignition is ON or the engine is operating.
* DTC P0120, P0122, P0123, P0220, P0222, P0223, P2135 run continuously when the above conditions are met.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
P0120
TP sensor 1 voltage is less than 0.325 V or greater than 4.75 V for greater than 1 s.
P0122
The ECM detects that the TP sensor 1 voltage is less than 0.325 V for greater than 1 s.
P0123
The ECM detects that the TP sensor 1 voltage is greater than 4.75 V for greater than 1 s.
P0220
The TP sensor 2 voltage is less than 0.25 V or greater than 4.59 V for greater than 1 s.
P0222
The ECM detects that the TP sensor 2 voltage is less than 0.25 V for greater than 1 s.
P0223
The ECM detects that the TP sensor 2 voltage is greater than 4.59 V for greater than 1 s.
P2135
The difference between the TP sensor 1 and TP sensor 2 exceeds a predetermined value for greater than 2 s.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
* DTC P0120, P0122, P0123, P0220, P0222, P0223, and P2135 are Type A DTCs.
* The control module commands the TAC system to operate in the Reduced Engine Power mode.
* A message center or an indicator displays Reduced Engine Power.
* Under certain conditions the control module commands the engine OFF.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
DTCs P0120, P0122, P0123, P0220, P0222, P0223, and P2135 are Type A DTCs.
Diagnostic Aids
* If the Throttle Sweep Test is not available on the scan tool, observe the scan tool TP Sensor 1 and 2 Agree/Disagree parameter while
performing the following tests:
- Slowly depress the accelerator pedal to WOT and then slowly return the pedal to closed throttle. Repeat the procedure several times.
- Rapidly depress the accelerator pedal from the rest position to the wide open throttle position (WOT) and release pedal. Repeat the
procedure several times.
The TP Sensor 1 and 2 Agree/Disagree parameter should display Agree. If Disagree is displayed, continue diagnosis in Circuit/System
Testing.
* A high resistance condition on the throttle position and throttle actuator control circuits could cause a DTC to set.
