TP Sensor Learn (CADILLAC)

1996 GMC Savana Special 6.5 YSECTION TP Sensor Learn (CADILLAC)

If a NEW TP sensor or throttle body is installed, EBTCM must learn new TP sensor idle position voltage. This procedure is necessary to ensure effective engine management. If an improper TP sensor offset is maintained by the PCM, a high idle at closed throttle or stall condition may occur.

  1. Turn ignition on (engine off). Wait for 30 seconds.
  2. Turn ignition to LOCK position. Wait for 30 seconds.
NOTE: Ensure accelerator and brake pedals are free from any obstructions while performing TP sensor/idle learn procedure. Ensure that cruise control cable is not holding throttle open. PCM will not perform learn function with accelerator pedal or brake pedal obstructions.
