DTC P2135: TP Sensor Signals 1 & 2 Disagree Or Outside Predetermined Range: Description

2003 Chevrolet TrailBlazer 4.2 S, 4WDSECTION Description
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

The Throttle Position (TP) sensors 1 and 2 are potentiometer type sensors each with 3 circuits:

  • A 5-volt reference circuit.
  • A low reference circuit.
  • A signal circuit.
The TP sensor are used to determine the throttle plate angle for various engine management systems. The control module provides each TP sensor a 5-volt reference circuit and a low reference circuit. The TP sensors then provide the control module with signal voltage proportional to throttle plate movement. Both TP sensor signal voltages are low at closed throttle and increase as the throttle opens. When the control module detects that TP sensor 1 signal and TP sensor 2 signals disagree or signal voltages are outside the predetermined range, this DTC set.
