I have a 2012 Chevy Impala LTZ, and I have the traction control ABS warning lights and I tracked it down to the left side, driver side wire harness like you replaced on your car. It seems like the newer models are a problem on the left side I bought mine on “Rock Auto”, for $6.50 the wire harness I got to get to that this weekend to put on. A lot of people think it’s the wheel hub bearing but it’s not it’s usually more than likely that wire harness. UPDATE: replaced the wire harness and problem SOLVED!👍
@@IGATECK yep, my Brother took his 2006 Impala to the Chevy dealer and of course they told him it was the wheel hub bearing and the wire harness and he spent well over 600+ dollars when in all reality it was probably just that wire harness! I hate going to any dealership if I can fix it myself because they will rob you blind!
My 2009 Impala did the same thing. I replaced the accel pedal and fixed it. Later GM sent me a letter stating a recall. I sent them the code and receipt of the pedal and they sent me a check. This was 2 years ago.
My 07 did it. Was driving my gf to pick my gf up from work an hour away & halfway there it happened so I took it easy continuing on & about 10 minutes from her work the car died on me. When I pulled over, the warning now stated engine DISABLED (not just @ HALF power) which I haven’t seen anyone else mention?... thought I was fucked & stuck.& didnt no weather to get out & walk or hope someone would pull over to help because I couldn’t even watch a video or something on possible solutions (temporary or otherwise), to convince it to possibly reconsider & start-up for me¡ Well after shutting it off & removing the keys & getting out & locking it up & then getting back in & attempting to restart it, one of those things MAGICALLY worked! & it restarted with the warnings gone except for a check engine light. & I picked GF up & we took it easy on hour drive home. It’s been two days since & it hasn’t came on so even with scan tool all I get is p2138 but not sure that’s it or that it’s actually correct readings because without the warnings on the scanner isn’t picking them up. OH, & did I mention, it was in an area with NO cell phone service & it was 15° that night! (Thanks GM😘, love ya babe!) I bought a throttle position sensor for $53, haven’t installed it yet because more people saying it’s the Accelerator Pedal Sensor so I’m at AutoZone buying the Duralast one now but 3 questions if anyone sees this.... 1.) Should I start by replacing Accelerator Pedal Sensor first & then if it doesn’t work install TPS? That way if it’s not TPS I can return the TPS?! 2.) should I just return the TPS because it’s not that? 3.) WILL GM GIVE ME A REFUND CHECK FOR THE APS, TPS, or BOTH on my 2007 IMPALA? - & will they still even if my AutoZone only carries the Duralast part, not they ACDELCO(OEM)? The code that came up for check engine light is p2138 which is the Accelerator Pedal Sensor, but I don’t know if that’s actually it or actually the only thing wrong or if it’s both, because the Service Traction Control & engine @ half power warnings haven’t came back on since I was able to get the car restarted. I also for shits n gigs., bought bottle of that transmission sealer that is split in half with a sealer & like conditioner & is said to gaurantee seal, condition, & protect as well as help with knocking & hard shifts & rough idle... all of which I’m having & wonder if associated with the ASP or TPS or both. & a can of throttle body cleaner & electrical parts cleaner hoping to spray in contacts that meet one or both sensors & especially if I do end up replacing TPS I’ll spray throttle body cleaner inside the throttle body & WHIPE it out. Assuming I have to remove the hose/duct work. I don’t see why I would it looks like metal clamps/clips all that hold it on & appears accessible without removing all that but ever TH-cam video ive seen doing it all removed the duct work for some reason. It’s like if I’m getting in that deep might as well waste my money in a complete throttle body then with the TPS coming attached with it? HELP she has to work in the morning again hour away & needs to take the car herself & its 7:15pm Sunday night & she’ll be driving by herself this time
Mine had the same problem. Thankfully, the "Reduced Engine Power" was taken out of the 2013 model so I don't have to worry about that. But the Stabilitrak, TCS and ABS warning was going off. Thanks for showing this video. A lot of people (including myself) wasted hundreds on new wheel hub assemblies.
IGATECK I’m having this issue where my abs light and tcs light blinks when it stops me from accelerating for about 3 seconds then, it would come back over and over
Great video!!! There is a video to fix your sticking ignition key switch. I bet there are 10 times more fix your GM videos than fix your Toyota videos on youTube. The quality of the car is inversely proportional to the number of fix it videos.
I'm pretty sure my problem is in the harness as well. Already replaced the APP and a new throttle body. Thanks for the tip. I have identifix. I'll put it on the rack in the morning.
I have an 08 impala SS that I've had for a few months at 120k miles. This video was what I needed bro. Traction control, stabilitrak, and abs all popping. Plus a good laugh, "gm doesn't give a fuck" lmao
So was your issues the service traction control comeing on then your car would jerk while driving for about 30 or 40 mins and then the check engine light comes on? This is the problem I am having i took my car to auto zone to get the code read and it said p0011 while both lights are on I have an 06 impala lt please show me the parts I need to get
Great Video--made me laugh but your suggestions may resolve a few different issues with my 2013 impala. Service Traction Control/Stabilitrak and ABS warnings pop up almost every time I make a right or left hand turn, sharp or not. Also read something about the ground belt being loose or needs replacing.
I just got my first car in August 2018 and recently these issues popped up it's only at 72k miles, I hope this fixes the problem if I end up doing this!
My 07 has damn near every light on, I've cleaned/replaced everything the code reader said was the issue and it's still lit up, the car still takes me everywhere, but the little stuff is annoying
Has anybody had a problem at the stop light ,light turns green eccelerate car makes a TRRR noise somewhere in front bottom or even under me then a snap ,drives for acouple min then power reduces with traction on? Any ideas ..it's 2011 Impala 3.5
that's doesn't sounds good at all, it could be a couple things but most likely a wheel bearing since it's seems to related to the traction control warning, but could also be a CV axle drive or even engine or transmission mounts
I've got an 08 and was showing same thing so i changed tps after diagnostic test said that was the issue. Before fixing tho, it was also kinda chugging and acting like power or gas was getting to where it needed to be going. Almost sounding and acting like it was wanting to die or struggling to stay on. Changed the tps and still doing the same thing. Changed plugs and wires and air filter as well as cleaned the throttle body. So I'm gonna try the pedal now but possibly could it be fuel pump or something else? Any thoughts or suggestions would be awesome and appreciated.
Are you getting the "engine power reduced" message on the dashboard? If you do it might be the pedal otherwise it is possible that the fuel pump or fuel filter are bad and you can test the fuel pressure to rule that out, you're welcome
Igatech, i just replaced the pedal. It didn't work either. Lol i was thinking fuel pump but also the catalytic converter. I'm gonna take that off this week and check it but the car actually seems to be worse then what it was before all the nickel and dime crap I've done. Ill check the fuel filter tho as well. Thank you. Ill update the findings as soon as i get it done this week.
My 02 impala had abs Lite come on when turned to right .ordedtwo abs wires on amazon.replaced rf problem went away.pleed coating off old one it was broke two spots below connector at wheel. Lite mi mi j mi
When I turn my wheel sharp like at stop sign when I’m taking off the Traction control Light kick on and it all put a little give my steering wheel for a split second you think this would fix it
My wife’s car turn off itself while on the road. The steering wheel locked itself and she couldn’t unlocked it. She said some messages appeared on the cluster “Reduced stability trak” and “engine damage “ something like that. You think it’s the same issue as your ride? It’s 2011 impala
Code p2138: from A1 Auto video on 'Top five problems with Chevy impala 9th Gen 2006-16." #4 is the Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor. Just happened to me: going 70 mph in cruise control when suddenly the dash said, "Service Traction Control" and "Reduced Engine Power" with a CEL symbol and the Traction Control triangle symbol. However, the car seemed to be running fine, except cruise control stopped. I stopped, turned off the car for ten minutes, and the dash no longer said those words. But the Check Engine symbol stayed on. I got home, and six hours later, none of the words or the CEL symbol is showing. I watched a few videos, read a few forums. Ranged from: Wheel Bearings, ABS module, ABS Sensors, cleaning ABS sensors, Throttle Position Sensor and Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor. So, eight hours after it happened, just before 9 p.m., I got in the car to drive to O'Rielys to use their code reader, and nothing was on the dash, not even the CEL symbol. Car ran fine. O'Reilys code reader said: p1238, "Throttle Position Sensor." But, I'm going to replace the Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor (the whole pedal as in this video) not with the OEM Delco, but a Dorman at $120. BTW: if it isn't solved, I'll check back in and edit my comment. The "symptoms" I might have had leading to this was a weird issue with acceleration from a dead stop to just getting rolling with a sudden burst or a 'hesitation' until it got to 3-5 mph and smoothed out. I thought it was transmission and had an appt scheduled. Then, this happened. So, maybe that was symptoms of a bad pedal sensor? On the way home from O'Rielys I bought a six pack to 'celebrate' for not having any more serious issue. Then, on the way home, a damned black and white cat ran in front of my car. If I didn't have bad luck, I'd have no luck at all. Poor cat.
Pretty scary isn't it? I did replaced the pedal which solved the "engine power reduced" issue but the ABS was the faulty wheel speed sensor wire on the FR wheel, poor cat tho haha
@@IGATECK At least it wasn't an all black cat. Anyhow, still having some random hesitation and flat spot at 0-3 mph. Otherwise, changing the pedal did improve pedal responsiveness overall. Put the car on Craigslist and am selling it for more than I paid... So...
My 07’ impala is stuck in reduced power engine mode and will try to crank but won’t start we cleaned the throttle body but it still didn’t work any suggestions?
As far as I know the issue should be the gas pedal or the throttle body but I'm not a 100% sure, it could be something else, getting a diagnostic scan would be a good start.
The traction control most likely is one of the front wheel speed sensor wire harness, they're like $30 on Amazon, but it could actually be the wheel sensor it self which is the whole hub, and the engine reduced power could be either the pedal or the throttle position sensor but I would start with pedal if I was you
Unmet Expectations are the root of over 90% of communication problems. Spends hours 'fixing' car. Expects car will start and ignition will turn, since it did before Ignition doesn't turn, car doesn't start. "F... car!" Car Counselor: "Perhaps you should start thinking, "Divorce."
lol, I know right, but to be honest this is probably one of the cars I had own that only gave me those issues and the door locks which I end up replacing with after market actuators I'll post a video about it, still better than an Audi for sure
@@IGATECK Sometimes the Indoor overhead light won't shut off, spray the door locks actuators With PB blaster or some lubricant and open and shut the door about 20 times. Indoor light goes off.
We had the engine power reduce problem and my car would shut off when driving on the freeway and that got very dangerous so I checked around and found out I didn't have to buy a peddle or the throttle body all I bought was the throttle position sensor and my car is running great so if anyone is still having problems with the engine reduce power just buy the TPS that's all you'll need it only takes about 15 minutes to replace
I've got an 08. Was acting like it was chugging at stop lights and when accelerating it would jerk like it wasnt getting power.took it for diagnostic and it said tps sensor. So i changed the tps, spark plugs and wires, along with air filter....that was about 3 wks ago. Now it's doing the exact same thing it was before all this shit was replaced. Engine light is on till i hit 60mph then blinks and the rpm needle jumps a bit when the chugging or jerking hits. Now i guess ill try the pedal now. Almost wondering too if fuel pump could be an issue maybe??? Alternator is fine and battery connection is fine. Idles rough and gets a weird vibration when on interstate over 60 mph.... Any thoughts? Oh yeah, cleaned throttle body too. Lol thx and after fixing everything I'm gonna get rid of it. Owned for two years now And have had more issues with this pos then with any car old or new ive owned in past! Gm really sucks and need to get their shit together i think. I'm going back to foreign cars again. Haha
Mine slows down and shuts off when it's in (D) drive but it runs in 3rd. The engine power reduced and traction light is on. Is it my peddle or a transmission issue?
Evan M My wiring to my fuel pump was rigged and my fuse to fuel pump kept coming out I just got someone to put the rubber stuff on the fuse to hold it in place and my wires needed to be cut down wiring was showing lucky i had some slack and they was able to cut the exposed wires down with a wire cutter
We bought a 09 impala also about 6 months ago and started having problems just recently with the engine reduce power so I watched carquestions and found out i needed to replace just the ( TPS )throttle position sensor and not the holes throttle body cause of course it's so much more but after I fixed it and it only takes 15 minutes to replace yourself, our car runs great no more problems not sure if that's going on with yours but if it is that's all you have to change you won't be spending a lot of money I do know it gets very expensive
I don't remember the specific number but the descriptions were: throttle position sensor open circuit, wheel speed sensor circuit failure and something about the pedal I think
Sorry for the late reply, there are different things that would trigger this fault besides the gas pedal and another common one like previously mentioned is the throttle position sensor
Start cheap. Clean the gunk out of the throttle body where the butterfly meets the throttle body housing first. This is usually all it takes. Afterward, you may have a high idle for a couple of hundred miles until the computer relays that the butterfly is returning to the default position, so don't let anyone tell you to pay a mechanic to do it. Totally unnecessary.

@@IGATECK Sometimes the Indoor overhead light won't shut off, spray the door locks actuators With PB blaster or some lubricant and open and shut the door about 20 times. Indoor light goes off.
We had the engine power reduce problem and my car would shut off when driving on the freeway and that got very dangerous so I checked around and found out I didn't have to buy a peddle or the throttle body all I bought was the throttle position sensor and my car is running great so if anyone is still having problems with the engine reduce power just buy the TPS that's all you'll need it only takes about 15 minutes to replace

I've got an 08. Was acting like it was chugging at stop lights and when accelerating it would jerk like it wasnt getting power.took it for diagnostic and it said tps sensor. So i changed the tps, spark plugs and wires, along with air filter....that was about 3 wks ago. Now it's doing the exact same thing it was before all this shit was replaced. Engine light is on till i hit 60mph then blinks and the rpm needle jumps a bit when the chugging or jerking hits. Now i guess ill try the pedal now. Almost wondering too if fuel pump could be an issue maybe??? Alternator is fine and battery connection is fine. Idles rough and gets a weird vibration when on interstate over 60 mph.... Any thoughts? Oh yeah, cleaned throttle body too. Lol thx and after fixing everything I'm gonna get rid of it. Owned for two years now And have had more issues with this pos then with any car old or new ive owned in past! Gm really sucks and need to get their shit together i think. I'm going back to foreign cars again. Haha
Did you reset the computer yourself or did you take it to the dealership after replacing the tps
There is a recall on impalas for a faulty ignition switch
There should be a recall for the whole cal lol
Did the service traction control issue affect the brakes at all?
The ABS feature would not work but the brakes would still work
Can i drive it until i get my part?
Just careful cause the power reduced issue happened to me in the highway and that was scary as fuck, good thing there wasn't a semi behind me
Mine slows down and shuts off when it's in (D) drive but it runs in 3rd. The engine power reduced and traction light is on. Is it my peddle or a transmission issue?
6AD 6ARZ mines is doing the same did u find out what's wrong I am stuck currently
Loveable Goddess I haven't tried it yet.
I have an 06 impala with the same issues. I've replaced the throttle body sensor 3 times. Issue still persists. I might try the gas pedal replacement
My wiring to my fuel pump was rigged and my fuse to fuel pump kept coming out
Evan M My wiring to my fuel pump was rigged and my fuse to fuel pump kept coming out I just got someone to put the rubber stuff on the fuse to hold it in place and my wires needed to be cut down wiring was showing lucky i had some slack and they was able to cut the exposed wires down with a wire cutter
I just got an 09. Already having problems with it
We bought a 09 impala also about 6 months ago and started having problems just recently with the engine reduce power so I watched carquestions and found out i needed to replace just the ( TPS )throttle position sensor and not the holes throttle body cause of course it's so much more but after I fixed it and it only takes 15 minutes to replace yourself, our car runs great no more problems not sure if that's going on with yours but if it is that's all you have to change you won't be spending a lot of money I do know it gets very expensive
They're junk
@@angelroan2916 someone told me that you have to take it to the dealership to computer calibrate the TPS after you replace it. Is that true?
Save yourself ! Sell it! If I had money to buy another car I would but I don’t so I’m stuck with it
How about the 2005
Thats a different body, I'm not sure if it's the same components
What were the codes?
I don't remember the specific number but the descriptions were: throttle position sensor open circuit, wheel speed sensor circuit failure and something about the pedal I think
Where are you
North East
I replaced the pedal and I’m still having the reduced engine power. Any suggestions?
Sarah Burnett replace throttle body sensor
Set it on fire
Or clean the throttle body
Sorry for the late reply, there are different things that would trigger this fault besides the gas pedal and another common one like previously mentioned is the throttle position sensor
Start cheap. Clean the gunk out of the throttle body where the butterfly meets the throttle body housing first. This is usually all it takes. Afterward, you may have a high idle for a couple of hundred miles until the computer relays that the butterfly is returning to the default position, so don't let anyone tell you to pay a mechanic to do it. Totally unnecessary.
Easy fix.. bad battery connection..
Right? I can't believe I didn't think of that lol
Fuck this fuck that 🤣 yep he's definitely a mechanic
I am In process of buying a 08 impala. I looked at it. I dont think it is a piece of sht. Just needs care.
Yeah I know it's just like every other car, I was just ranting, But reducing the engine power in the middle of the highway still a shitty move from GM
@@IGATECK I drove the impala I recently purchased from syracuse NY to mobile al. Didnt feel and power loss.
Next time show were the go connected
If this is not enough information for you than make yourself a favor and take it to a mechanic
What are you at your grandma's
😂😂😂 are you kidding me fu@#% I’m Mechanic go to the same shit every day
Freaking sh@# boxes haha
Not really helpful forwarding the whole thing
I didn't want to make a 2 hour video
Pos cars now days
Agree
