I was just driving and the wrench came on with no check engine light on, so i pulled over and tried looking the wrench up quick but couldn't find it in the manual. I turned the car off and on waiting a minute or so and started it again and the check engine light and wrench came on this time. I did one more restart and the wrench went away and the check engine light stayed on. Tried a few more and the wrench does not come on but the check engine light stays on. I pulled the DTC with my sct and got this:

DTC:

"P2135*
THROTTLE/PEDAL
POSITION
SWITCH/SENSOR A/B*
VOLTAGE CORRELATION"

Can anyone help me with this? And why would the wrench turn on then shut off after a few minutes like it did?
Is my car drivable like this for me to get to work (~3 miles per day)? And I have a trip planned that would be around 300 miles this weekend, I'm guessing it shouldn't be driven then?
How can I fix this?

Soundsto me like u need a new tps(throttle position sensor) semi cheap repair. That's usually the case with this code. Really easy to replace. As for the wrench I believe that is the signal for limp mode but I might be wrong

GrayPony

Sounds like the TPS. Are you running a non-stock throttle body? Did it come with electronics insralled?

Tps for sure that's what happened to mine except I actually went in to limp mode which is the wrench. I paid $90 for a new tps from the dealer. rockauto.com might have one for cheaper

I cleared the DTC with my tuner and the lights all went away and haven't came back... Just a fluke maybe?

Possible but you know like everything electronics usually glitch some before they go completely out so I would definitly keep a close eye on it. If you still planning your trip I would definitly be driving the car around some to see if its going to do it again

I think it was 50 key cycles for it to come back on after you clear it if it is still there. Really easy fix to do yourself if it does come back

maxshuty

50?? Lol that's a lot but I'll do 51 tonight to see if it comes back

maxshuty

Well it came back on....
