My 2002 chevy 2500 just gave me this reduced power code and the truck wouldn't go more than 15mph with the throttle to the floor. The truck would always stall on me like it was having the gas shut off. It would do this at low speeds or in idle. It stalled on me today and wouldn't start. Ran the battery dead turning it over. Finally decided to start with a jump but then had the reduced engine power...Thanks for this video!

Want to comment on this condition, I had a piece of tape (that I used to build up the crankcase ventilation tube) that got sucked up in the intake. It got caught at the throttle plate (LUCKILY), and it was preventing the valve from closing to idle position. I got all kinds of coded and the P1516, triggering the Reduced Engine Power mode. After I removed the tape, everything return to normal - throttle by wire was sent into a tizzy (and the REP probably prevented it from going any further). I was lucky.

@macneoh74186 жыл бұрын
solo Dios me Puede jusgar, I took my car to O'Reilly's Auto Parts store and had them test it with their code reader. The code came up for the gas pedal position sensor. There are other things that can cause this, so make sure you have the codes read on your car at an auto parts store. They will do this for free. If it is the gas pedal, you will be replacing the entire gas pedal. The tools you will need are; a 10mm ( I think it was a 10mm) socket wrench with a small extension, and a small flathead screwdriver. It will take about 35 minutes and less than $85 for the part to fix. Remove the 2 10mm bolts from the floor of the car that secure the gas pedal, pull the gas pedal out a few inches to get to the wire harness and use the small flathead screwdriver to unclip the wire harness, remove old gas pedal. Put the new gas pedal in in reverse order. It is really easy and they will charge a few hundred for this at the dealership. Again, make sure it is the gas pedal relay sensor by having the codes read at an auto parts store. This is a very common problem with the Impalas and Malibu. I hope this helps you.

In my case, after cleaning the throttle body and running ground wires, the scan tool still gave me 17 codes relating to the TPS, the accelerator sensors, etc. so I knew the problem was not in the throttle body. After checking the wiring harnesses again, I found out a rodent had chewed on two wires going to the control module next to the brake cylinder. It was hard to see but that was it. Fixing those two wires saved me a ton of money.
@lifeafterlife8417 Жыл бұрын
Had a similar problem with a friends car. Two shops failed to diagnose it.

I had the same problem with my 2002 Trailblazer about one year ago. When I was driving on a highway, reduced engine power light came on and it reduced speed to 15 or 20 mph. I pulled over and checked all connectors around throttle body and everything was fine. I was about to call for help when I just disconnected the battery waited for about 10 minutes, connected it back and then everything was fine, I did not do anything else. Like I said, that happened about a year ago and I have not had the problem again. Probably that is what happened to you sir, cause at the beginning you said you disconnected the ground cable from battery. I hope my experience helps somebody.

Most always it is the grond wire on the back of the engine that is the problem. Many many people have this issue just after driving their truck through a high pressure car wash also. This gets water up into places at the connectors that normally stay pretty dry even in big storms but once wet they corrode in no time and shortly after the warning flashes on the screen. In these cases it's not the ground but the connections fusing on the one plug to the throttle body motor.

The real fix is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cut the boots off the battery cable ends and clean both sides with sand paper. Cleaning the one side is not enough the lug side is never serviceable unless boot is removed. I just used dielectric grease to cover instead of buying new cables. Also remove the primary cover and shroud around the fuse box under hood. Remove the positive lugs. Most gmc have three 1 from pos battery cable and two smaller ones powering the computer and something else. When you look at them they look good no corrosion but if you look closely it will look Grey. Sand both sides of the ring connector and the lug surface. Overtime no matter where you live air temp and moister slightly oxidize the metal. What happens is one of these powers the pcm and the others send power to vital sensors. Most of the time as long as its not a broke tps wire or if you accidentally stretch while in drivers seat and kick the pedal connection this connection oxidation does not allow the pcm to have a solid constant battery voltage so when the pcm dedicates the 5v reference to the PETAL AND TPS they are varied. Thus eventually the pcm does not allow the key on pretest yes your gmc will tell you reduced power without starting. Turn key on and wait about 10sec and if the pedal/tps agree nothing will display if not it will display reduced engine power. Also if you are having REP while driving add a new ground on drivers side of engine bay from firewall lug to one of the bolts on the bolts on the alternator bracket. Also grounds underneath drivers side frame rail, under radiator support, and the main negative lug on drivers side engine block. Also on the passenger side engine bay there is the pcm ground that comes out of the the big loom on the firewall goes out to the back of engine just like the braided one it is covered in crinkle cover but they are black wires usually two wires. Cut as low as possible bring up and solder one thicker wire estimated at double the gauge of one of the wires so you won’t have resistance problems. Remove the braided ground from firewall and remove one bolt from the third coil pack closest to the rear of engine and attach the braided ground don’t double ground this remove it because you could cause what’s called a looping ground. Electricity goes to path of least resistance. Since the braided line is very hard to remove from rear of engine block attaching the firewall end back to coil pack bolt leaves it null/void and tight so it won’t rub anything else. Also use a ground wire insulated I think it was 15in from parts store $12 for the new firewall to alternator bolt connection. I guess I could have made a video but I’m posting this on comments in various places share if you think it’s a good thing. My Rep problem is solved no tps,pedal, or throttle body replaced I researched this problem for months because I know a shop would just hose me for parts and I think most sensor issues and there lifetime are determined by there power/ground consistency. 2001gmc Yukon slt 260k miles.

My Wife's 05 colbolt is having this problem and has for a few months. She just starts it a few times and after 3 or 4 starts it runs fine. I've begged her to get rid of it but some reason she loves that POS.

Clown Shoes MMA if you turn the key off for about 2 minutes it resets. But it will come back.

Got lucky with mine. I just cleaned my throttle body still attached.
@donrutter67656 жыл бұрын
In side the black plastic tpi on the throttle body there is a gold colored plate, under that there is a contact plate with 4 contacts, if you look at them with a magnifying glass, 1 is separated. You could possibly solder it back together but its so small .

Or just throw out the factory TB and get a Hi Performance one. I'm sure there is one made for that V6 by now

Another thing to try clean your TPS connector real good with something like CRC Industries QD Electronic Cleaner. If it works order a new connector.
