Thanks bro. Sensor went out at night 500 miles from home. Dash had stabilitrack- traction control warnings. Reduced engine power so I took an exit, killed it a let it sit for a min. Restarted and was good enough to get down the road. Luckily right down the road from an advanced auto that had the part. She was kicking like a bull lol. Peoria, IL 17 degrees, windy and in the dark. Got it replaced in half an hour thanks to you.
Great video, my 03 avalanche would overwork the hell out of the engine going from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd, the change was beyond noticeable after replacing the TPS, Smooth as butter!!! It’s hard to tell what gear I’m in now, literally that smooth! I highly recommend any 4L60-E transmission owner do this before taking apart the transmission, worked wonders
When taking off Factory air box, remember to take off vacuum line on passenger side of air box. Also DON’T FORGET TO DISCONNECT NEG CABLE ON BATTERY, in case it messes up idle upon start up. Don’t hit clips with hammer to put on, use the side of a big screwdriver to push them on. Other than that, great video, and thanks for the tips!
Thank you! My dad wants me to do it myself since I live 3,000 miles from home and my truck keeps saying "reduced engine power" every time I drive. You make me think I'm actually capable of doing it!
@@therealbigsplurge hey I fix everything I can on my Yukon 💪🏼😁my dad always told me if you can’t fix it don’t drive it so thank god for you tube😂🤣 thanks to this video it was fairly simple besides lining it up into that little key hole
Thanks for the video, brother. 12/1/2024, I began an 8 hr trip to return to my home, and 1.5 hrs in, my 2010 Tahoe went into limp mode (not a cool experience let me tell you), and the service lights for the engine and traction control went off. I managed to get off the freeway, and there happened to be an O’Reilly’s. Engine was idling super rough. Got it scanned, and it threw a P2135 code. Found this video, and hoped I’d identified my problem. I ended up replacing the whole throttle body assembly just to be sure. All the codes went away, and I was able to get home, but engine was idling fast, even though I did the 3 min idle, 1 min off, 3 min idle relearn cycle after the new body was in. I took it to my local auto repair the next day, and they said the relearn cycle really only works in tandem with the scanner. They were able to get it all calibrated for me. Hope this helps somebody out there!
I just ran the codes on my wife Escalade and came up Throttle Position Sensor...thanks so much for taking the time to make your video on how to replace it!
100% was the throttle position sensor caused my 07 Escalade to reduce engine power and stabilitrack traction control light on.. dealer will try to sell u the whole sensor with Throttle body, u just need sensor go to autozone or orileys get some degreaser or cleaner and the sensor from there save $$. THANKS FOR THE VIDEO
My scanner says my absolute throttle postion is 29% which I think is what you said was high on yours. But my scanner does not have the feature to relearn or do any type of control of the tps.
Did I miss why TPS was replaced? Had new trans put in now randomly getting 1-2 hard as hell shift? Shop said I needed TCM? But 150,000 never had a issue until trans installed
shoot a hard shift aint always a bad thing. TCM is the Transmission control module not the TPS (throttle position sensor). The TPS can be definitively be accountable for the trans shifting issues
You don't need to disconnect the battery because you are unplugging the Throttle body actuator before taking it off. And you should have just removed the whole throttle body to do the job it's way easier. Plus while it's off you can clean it at the back.
What was the issue you were having to need to change this? I’m having some low idle issues . I’ve been told it’s because of the high low idle sensor but I’m not sure .
I did not disconnect the negative battery when I replaced the TPS after replacing the part, the code P0 121 went away, but then I started getting high RPMs and the new code for that. Just trying to figure that out now.
@@rogerrebollar490 glad to hear it. If you have the issue often, scan tools that handle that are alot more affordable now. I just bought one for my husband not long ago for $800 brand new. It does so many things. He has gotten his money out of it for sure.
@@heatherjackson8842 I may consider it. I ended up paying $127 for the service but It would be helpful in the long run since I prefer to replace parts myself.
@Roger Rebollar then for sure. I did alot of research and Autel does everything a diyer needs and then some at a decent price plus they are able to be expanded. Like for alignments and such, if you do those. We got ours on Amazon and after 6 months they reached out and asked us to review it and gave us some free extras too. So decent company from what I can tell. Hope this helps ya!
Make sure old clips do not land between the pulley valley and the belts ... not good. One I couldn't locate ended up there, glad I saw before cranking.
I get a flashing CEL and every so often the stabillitrack light is on but then goes away. My codes say random misfire but I’ve replaced plugs and wires, even checked fuel injectors and still feels jerky or studdery at times... trying TPS next
E Padilla not yet. If you think it may be your throttle position sensor I heard you can get a volt meter and check if it’s putting out the correct voltage. I don’t have the specs on hand of what it should be but I’m sure you can find it online for tour make model year. That’s what I’m going to do before taking apart the throttle body/sensor.
You can align the sensor with a flat head screwdriver instead of manually trying to open the throttle body with ur hand and blindly trying to align it .
I’ve replaced the gas pedal twice, gas pedal plug, the throttle body/TPS twice replaced fuses, and still getting the P2128 code. What else could it be? I’ve also put a different ECM in there but have yet to put in a brand new one. Could it be the ECM or something else?
What was your systoms,You knew you needed a new TPS? I am having rough idle,,,with blinking CEL. Traction control. & Stabilitrack, Idels rough but once taking off,,it seems to smooth out,,but,,CEL starts blinking after some time. Have no codes referring to TPS,
billy bob it should basically learn itself again especially if you disconnected the battery. Some people would recommend it, but I didn’t have a problem
I have been watching videos on this subject. Some re learn, some dont. APPARENTLY GM knows this is a very common issue and they re did the software to include a 2 sec cushion. Allow the two sensor to be askew 2 seconds before throwing a code. IDK what the original time was... BUT if GM reflashes your computer it will fix this. GOOD LUCK, tell us how you did. I recently replaced the CRANK position sensor and had to drive around to get the computer to re learn it. Maybe you can for this too.
A few years ago when I replaced mine I had to take it to a shop to re-calibrate it because it through the RPMs all out of whack. What did I do wrong? I’m asking because I need to do it again on a different vehicle.
Can anyone help with this problem........ 2008 Chevy Suburban LTZ. I have to be very gentle on the accelerator pedal. If press too hard, the rpm surges over 3000. Truck only shifts smoothly when I accelerate very slowly. No check engine light. Transmission seems ok. Could it be pedal sensor or throttle body?
It would be nice if you’d stop commenting all over these type of videos with this comment when in fact you don’t have a clue on what you are talking about. You don’t need a high end scanner, and if you don’t have any scanner to clear codes if it in fact is throwing a code or put it in limp mode, then unhook the battery and let it sit for a few minutes. If that doesn’t clear it, all you need is a cheap ass scan tool to clear it.
@@blakehavens8705 yeah you do it took a high dollar scanner to relearn the idle process, I tried every thing else and that was the only way to properly fix it and regain engine power
What happenes if you replace and don’t take the negative battery off I did it I’m with it still connected will it still make the check engine light go off. Mine keeps comin on after replacing?
Would that sensor also throw a please check airbag. And check brake system lights? And my truck is I'm a safety mode right now. Other words won't let me start my truck
What ground are you talking about? I’m having reduced power and sometimes it won’t want to restart when I shut it off and turn it on to clear. Cleaned throttle body and had no issues for a month. Now 3 times in one day. Still not believing changing tps sensor will fix it
Question: Are you certain the trottle body spring loaded butterfly plate is to "pushed and held in"...while deciding where to manually turn the TPS gear slot to "line it up"? Wouldn't it be more appropriate to allow the spring loaded trottle body butterfly valve plate to rest in an "as is" position,....while lining up the trottle position sensor slot with a flat head screw driver? Otherwise, the new sensor POSITION will be slightly off, as when the plate is let go, the spring will move the plate the rod back to their relaxed position, ...also moving the TPS slot as well. This makes the TPS slot in and other than neutral position when the vehicle is started cold. Make sense?
Anyone keep getting the code calling out the TPS? I've replaced the sensor and the accelerator pedal which communicates with the TPS. Still get the code from time to time. I've also cleaned the throttle body and check the connector for loose connections. Considering replacing complete throttlebody next.
I broke my stupid clip smh i wonder why all these new clips look so complicated i like working with older cars that you litterly use your thumb pull n it pops off... Great video tho man!!!👍👍
oscar torres no programming is involved. Just make sure your negative battery terminal is disconnecting when changing out the sensor. It is a plug and play install.
@@punker4Real You think I made this up but get ready to marry a wireless lugnut to the immobiliser and the rim. If any one of the three is brought out of range the car shuts down and the wheel activates a GPS signal for recovery.
At the end what if u dont push the throttle body inn to adjust the pin? What i did was got a screw driver and adjusted the other pin insert to line up with the body pin, but for doing that looks like im having issues, when i put in on drive it feels to mush gas pressure, what can i do
Sounds like the pin is not lined up properly. I would try removing the intake and using the method I did. I hope using a screw driver didn't damage anything.
@@michaelcervantes8916 I just bought one but now I'm not sure if I want to change it for poor results. Say for example, and a light behind a few cars turning right during stop and go on the brake it pushes forward a lil bit. Same issue your still having?
So basically you drive a vehicle and you're at a stop light. The vehicle will sometimes not accelerate anymore. That's what a faulty tps sensor does. You go into limp mode. You will have a check engine light and you cannot accelerate.
Great video to those that replace throttle sensor tear your old one apart inside you will find little brushes that on tract on a gold circuit board mine the little bit of gold that contact brushes wore off in the middle which would be mid speed thanks for crap part chevy
Jeremy M - any update with your truck? My 2015 Silverado 1500 just started acting up, with engine light blinking, then steady on, StabiliTrak light intermittent and engine shaking / bucking - taking to shop tomorrow for diagnostic.
@@cwmson8381 turned out to be the torque converter that went out. I had to replace mine along with the transmission since it went out. Appears to be a common issue on the 6L80 transmissions. I had 110K miles on it at the time. If you’re getting a random misfire code then it could be the fuel injectors. I had replaced all 8 as well. I didnt have any issues after I swapped the transmission and torque converter though which got me to 128k mikes before I ended up trading in for a ‘21 Yukon Denali. Fingers crossed no issues with this one.
@@cwmson8381 thanks. Good luck to you figuring out your issues. Hopefully it’s not the Torque converter because you have to drop the transmission to replace that part alone. Labor was more than the parts.
@@utrocker7 Had misfire a on one cylinder (Code P0300) - local shop changed all the plugs and the one coil at the misfire - been running fine and without trouble lights on the dash (mileage 48K, so I guess plugs made sense). Thought it was going to be electrical / computer due to other recent problem with blown fuse and dash messages, which was probably due to using portable compressor too long. Also had Codes U0401-71 (Invalid data received from ECM), which may have been old, so they cleared them, and we'll see if they come back. Anyway - thanks for the replies.
lalolalito91 I heard this will fix hard shifts, I’m having hard shifting from 1st to 2nd I’m going to order the sensor and hope it fixes it, my tranny is freshly rebuilt
So I’ve done everything shown in the video to replace it but engine light came back on for the same reason the tps sensor.do I have to reset any codes or give it time to relearn something? Please let me know any suggestions
I know this is old...but....look at the package...If you see the logo Copyright 1995 GM LLC........It is a FAKE PART....DON'T use it send it back for a refund. Also the RED copyright symbol after Acdelco, should be BLUE......You can double check and spread the word....................Video was great by the way.
i know this might be a different topic but doesn't anyone's 08 escalade have engine hot a/c off engine overheated idle engine and then the temperature gauge flickers
Hey I just replaced mine and it idles normal and drives normal but when I place it into drive and just let my foot off the brake it seems like it accelerates on it’s own. Not bad or anything
@@ericpigg2689 make sure the throttle body is closed all the way and line up the sensor to go on with it closed. I moved the throttle body to fit the sensor so it threw it off a little bit. That’s the only thing I could think of.
@@andrewrichards5523 thank you for the reply. I believe I have an issue where the computer needs to be programmed to relearn the idle sequence. After I pulled the TB and cleaned it, it started the wild idling. Thinking the TPS was bad, I went and bought another one and installed it and the symptoms are exactly the same. I have an appointment with a mechanic who has a programmer since the truck does not want to re-learn the idle on its own. I have now driven over 100 miles and the symptoms are no better. I really appreciate the response. If I get a chance today I will pull the TPS and make sure I am aligned where it rests.
Good video but what you and everyone fails to mention is that IF YOU DO THIS you will most likely end up spending money with a mechanic because you may have to reset or relearn your idle speed. I did this and my truck started idling high, more research and speaking to my buddy who owns a shop I found that out.
from what ive researched if you disconnect the battery before removing the sensor you wont have this problem however if you disconnct the sensor with battery hooked up still you will have to reprogram computer ?

Do you have to do the relearn procedure after just changing the sensor? Or plug in the reader?
@@rcarpio3 No I didn’t have to do any of that.
Dang sounds like you had a wild time 🤣 ours did all that but 45 mins from home wouldnt shift or go over 40 lmao
But the instructions on the new box of the sensor says you have to calibrate it or else you will have engine trouble
@@ppayton1621 I only ever had to recalibrate after cleaning the throttle body. Not after replacing the sensor.

Do you know if there is any programming involved or just plug and play?
oscar torres no programming is involved. Just make sure your negative battery terminal is disconnecting when changing out the sensor. It is a plug and play install.
Did you not have to do the Idle relearn?
on a Mercedes Benz Everything requires programming haha
@@punker4Real You think I made this up but get ready to marry a wireless lugnut to the immobiliser and the rim. If any one of the three is brought out of range the car shuts down and the wheel activates a GPS signal for recovery.
My 07 Tahoe doesn’t even idle or rev when I step on the accelerator pedal
Dude thank you so much..saved me alot of money🤘😎❤
I have a 2010 Chevy 1500 and I took my tps sensor off and mine has a circuit board and can not find the exact sensor
was wondering where you got this for $30
O'Reilly's Auto Parts
Oreillys
can I just clean the sensor? I have a Dodge Dart, not the whole throttle body but just the sensor
You can try, but you will probably end up having to replace the entire sensor.

No Volt Meter?
This is happens to my truck but now is accelerating bad
At the end what if u dont push the throttle body inn to adjust the pin? What i did was got a screw driver and adjusted the other pin insert to line up with the body pin, but for doing that looks like im having issues, when i put in on drive it feels to mush gas pressure, what can i do
Sounds like the pin is not lined up properly. I would try removing the intake and using the method I did. I hope using a screw driver didn't damage anything.
I having the same problem after I changed feels like it's accelerating its self in idle or when I'm driving too
@@michaelcervantes8916 I just bought one but now I'm not sure if I want to change it for poor results. Say for example, and a light behind a few cars turning right during stop and go on the brake it pushes forward a lil bit. Same issue your still having?
What was the reason for changing that scensor ?
$1000 question
So basically you drive a vehicle and you're at a stop light. The vehicle will sometimes not accelerate anymore. That's what a faulty tps sensor does. You go into limp mode. You will have a check engine light and you cannot accelerate.
First to second gear would have a hard or delayed shift
Great video to those that replace throttle sensor tear your old one apart inside you will find little brushes that on tract on a gold circuit board mine the little bit of gold that contact brushes wore off in the middle which would be mid speed thanks for crap part chevy
Can you send a link for the part
Short and effective. Thanks.
Anyone having throttle issues on a newer GMC/Silverado (2014-2019) pick up? I’m thinking I need to replace my TPS as well :/
Jeremy M - any update with your truck? My 2015 Silverado 1500 just started acting up, with engine light blinking, then steady on, StabiliTrak light intermittent and engine shaking / bucking - taking to shop tomorrow for diagnostic.
@@cwmson8381 turned out to be the torque converter that went out. I had to replace mine along with the transmission since it went out. Appears to be a common issue on the 6L80 transmissions. I had 110K miles on it at the time. If you’re getting a random misfire code then it could be the fuel injectors. I had replaced all 8 as well. I didnt have any issues after I swapped the transmission and torque converter though which got me to 128k mikes before I ended up trading in for a ‘21 Yukon Denali. Fingers crossed no issues with this one.
@@utrocker7 Wow, sorry you went through all that - thank you for the information and good luck with the new ride.
@@cwmson8381 thanks. Good luck to you figuring out your issues. Hopefully it’s not the Torque converter because you have to drop the transmission to replace that part alone. Labor was more than the parts.
@@utrocker7 Had misfire a on one cylinder (Code P0300) - local shop changed all the plugs and the one coil at the misfire - been running fine and without trouble lights on the dash (mileage 48K, so I guess plugs made sense). Thought it was going to be electrical / computer due to other recent problem with blown fuse and dash messages, which was probably due to using portable compressor too long. Also had Codes U0401-71 (Invalid data received from ECM), which may have been old, so they cleared them, and we'll see if they come back. Anyway - thanks for the replies.
Can you make a video showing symptoms of it going out please
Remote start won't work is one
Any check engine code will disable the factory remote start
Could the vehicle shift hard?
lalolalito91 I heard this will fix hard shifts, I’m having hard shifting from 1st to 2nd I’m going to order the sensor and hope it fixes it, my tranny is freshly rebuilt
Mine has a hard shift into first gear and remote start wont work
It doesn't work I have replace this
What year vehicle is this?
Thanks for the info, God bless
Price must of gone up I couldn't find one for less than 50.
Got mine from O'Reilly's for $27
Some places are trying to sell whole thing others will sell just sensor
What about doing the relearn? You. Didn’t say anything about it?/////
So I’ve done everything shown in the video to replace it but engine light came back on for the same reason the tps sensor.do I have to reset any codes or give it time to relearn something? Please let me know any suggestions
Go to oreillys and erase code it's free to use their scanner and you will be good to go
I know this is old...but....look at the package...If you see the logo Copyright 1995 GM LLC........It is a FAKE PART....DON'T use it send it back for a refund. Also the RED copyright symbol after Acdelco, should be BLUE......You can double check and spread the word....................Video was great by the way.
i know this might be a different topic but doesn't anyone's 08 escalade have
engine hot
a/c off
engine overheated idle engine
and then the temperature gauge flickers
also stabilitrak off comes on & engine power reduced & it starts to shake if at a red light, sometimes on the freeway
much thanks in advance everyone
Wouldn't it be easier to take off the throttle body and replace it
Jesus Guerrero the 4.3 requires the whole replacement of the throttle body. 5.7 you can just replace the TPS since it’s external.
Thank you this must be a common issue on the 08 chevy tahoes ect
Question where can I get one?
I ordered mine from rockauto.com but you can try amazon also.
Hey I just replaced mine and it idles normal and drives normal but when I place it into drive and just let my foot off the brake it seems like it accelerates on it’s own. Not bad or anything
Theres one for the "gas" pedal also like 100 n sumthin bucks i think
Did you ever get it to stop? Mine is doing this too.
@@ericpigg2689 make sure the throttle body is closed all the way and line up the sensor to go on with it closed. I moved the throttle body to fit the sensor so it threw it off a little bit. That’s the only thing I could think of.
@@andrewrichards5523 thank you for the reply. I believe I have an issue where the computer needs to be programmed to relearn the idle sequence. After I pulled the TB and cleaned it, it started the wild idling. Thinking the TPS was bad, I went and bought another one and installed it and the symptoms are exactly the same. I have an appointment with a mechanic who has a programmer since the truck does not want to re-learn the idle on its own. I have now driven over 100 miles and the symptoms are no better. I really appreciate the response. If I get a chance today I will pull the TPS and make sure I am aligned where it rests.
Damn the part # u posted says it’s $100+
Good video but what you and everyone fails to mention is that IF YOU DO THIS you will most likely end up spending money with a mechanic because you may have to reset or relearn your idle speed. I did this and my truck started idling high, more research and speaking to my buddy who owns a shop I found that out.
So if you change the throttle body with the sensor on it ..will this have the same problem
Yes
from what ive researched if you disconnect the battery before removing the sensor you wont have this problem however if you disconnct the sensor with battery hooked up still you will have to reprogram computer ?
Thas was my situation I end up on mechanic shop for do in it myself so I do not recommend to change just the sensor
Thanks
