Summary
14582A – Special Coverage (2012 model year Buick Enclave, Lacrosse, Regal; Chevrolet Traverse, and GMC Acadia vehicles have been removed). On some various model year vehicles, the throttle-position sensor may cause the engine to run rough, cause the malfunction-indicator lamp and/or an engine reduced power message to illuminate, and reduce the engine’s power. Dealers are to replace the throttle body assembly and gasket for Bosch equipped vehicles, or to install the throttle position sensor kit for Hitachi equipped vehicles. The Hitachi throttle body assembly only needs to be replaced if the sensor kit does not correct the condition. The repairs will be made at no charge to the customer. For vehicles covered by Vehicle Service Contracts, all eligible claims with repair orders on or after September 24, 2015, are covered by this special coverage and must be submitted using the labor operation codes provided with this bulletin. Claims with repair orders prior to September 24, 2015, must be submitted to the Service Contract provider.

Note: The gasket between the throttle body and the intake manifold may need to be replaced when performing the following procedures. The gasket is included with some replacement throttle body assemblies, if the gasket is not included with the service assembly, order the part.
Service Procedure
Note: There are two repair procedures in this bulletin. Follow the correct procedure based on the service part supplier. The part table above identifies the service part as a Bosch or Hitachi supplied component.
With a scan tool, verify that DTC P2135, P0121 OR P0221 is set as Current or in History.
- If DTC P2135, P0121 OR P0221 is NOT set as Current or in History, no further action is required. Inform the customer that any additional diagnosis and repairs are not covered under this special coverage.
- If DTC P2135, P0121 OR P0221 is set as Current or in History, refer to the service procedures below. Bosch supplied throttle bodies require that the throttle body be serviced by replacing the complete assembly. Hitachi supplied throttle bodies only need the Throttle Position Sensor Kit installed to correct the condition. Only replace the Hitachi throttle body assembly if the sensor kit does not correct the condition.
Repair Procedure for Bosch Equipped Vehicles
Replace the throttle body assembly and gasket.
Repair Procedure for Hitachi Equipped Vehicles
Use the following steps to replace the Throttle Position Sensor Cover.
Note: Handle the electronic throttle control components carefully. Use cleanliness in order to
prevent damage. Do not drop the electronic throttle control components. Do not roughly handle
the electronic throttle control components. Do not immerse the electronic throttle control components in cleaning solvents of any type.
Note: If at any time during this procedure the throttle body is dropped, abort this procedure and REPLACE it with a new throttle body assembly.
- Remove the throttle body and discard the throttle body gasket.
- Remove any loose debris and dirt from the throttle body assembly and the TP sensor cover. Inspect the throttle body for damage.
Note: Do not use any solvent that contains Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK). This solvent may damage fuel system components.
- Clean the throttle body bore and the throttle plate using a clean shop towel with GM Top Engine Cleaner, P/N 1052626 (in Canada, P/N 993026), or AC-Delco Upper Engine and Fuel Injector Cleaner, P/N X66-P, or an equivalent product.
Note: DO NOT mount the throttle body in a vise. The throttle body can be set on the top of a soft protected workbench area.
- Hold the throttle body with your hand, so that the throttle position (TP) sensor cover is facing upward as shown.
- Secure a rubber band around the throttle body and TP sensor cover as shown.
- Turn over the throttle body and use a flathead screwdriver to remove the two clips (1, 2) as shown. Discard the clips.
Note: Do NOT pry on the machined sealing surface of the throttle body inlet duct.
- Turn over the throttle body and use a flathead screwdriver to remove the four remaining clips from the TP sensor cover. Discard the clips.
- Hold the throttle body with your hand, so that the TP sensor cover is facing upward. Grasp the TP sensor cover and carefully lift it up and separate it from the throttle body.
Note: DO NOT allow the intermediate gear to fall out.
- Maintain the throttle body in an upward position. Use your thumb to maintain contact with the intermediate gear. If the intermediate gear falls out and impacts a hard workbench surface or the floor, abort this procedure and REPLACE with a new throttle body assembly.
- Verify that the TP sensor cover gasket HAS REMAINED in the TP sensor cover as shown. Ensure that the gasket is accounted for and remains with the old TP sensor cover.
Note: If one or both of the TP sensor cover female throttle actuator motor terminals (1) HAVE BEEN retained on the throttle actuator motor male terminals (2), remove and discard those female terminals.
- Observe the TP sensor cover for missing female throttle actuator motor terminals (1). Verify that the female throttle actuator motor terminals HAVE REMAINED in the TP sensor cover and HAVE NOT been retained on the throttle actuator motor male terminals (2). Discard the old TP sensor cover, gasket and terminals.
- Remove the new TP sensor cover from the protective shipping wrapper.
Note: If the TP sensor drive slot orientation is not aligned as shown, use a small flathead screwdriver to gently rotate the TP sensor drive slot clockwise to the wide open throttle (WOT) position as shown.
- Place the TP sensor cover in the position as shown. Confirm the TP sensor drive slot orientation is aligned in the TP sensor cover as shown.
- Verify that the TP sensor cover gasket is secure and properly positioned.
Note: The three TP sensor cover alignment tabs are highlighted in white for identification purposes only.
- Verify that all three of the TP sensor cover alignment tabs are present and are not damaged.
- Grasp and hold the throttle body in the previously hand held upward position. Lightly depress the intermediate gear to verify that it is fully seated and the gears are engaged.
- Rotate the throttle body plate to the WOT position (1).
- Position and install the TP sensor cover to the throttle body. Hold the TP sensor cover in position. If necessary for ease of the clip installation, secure a rubber band around the throttle body and TP sensor cover.
- Install the first new TP sensor cover clip (1) in the position shown.
- Install the remaining new TP sensor cover clips in the sequence shown.
- Install a NEW throttle body gasket to the intake manifold.
- Install the throttle body, bolts and nuts. DO NOT tighten the fasteners yet.
- Connect the electrical connector to the throttle body.
- Turn ON the ignition. Clear the DTC with a scan tool.
- Observe the scan tool TP Sensor 1 and 2 Agree/Disagree parameter while slowly depressing the accelerator pedal to WOT and then slowly returning the pedal to closed throttle. Repeat the procedure several times. Rapidly depress the accelerator pedal from the rest position to the wide open throttle position (WOT) and release pedal. Repeat the procedure several times. The TP Sensor 1 and 2 Agree/Disagree parameter should display Agree.
- If TP Sensor 1 and 2 Agree/Disagree parameter displays Agree, proceed to Step 27.
- If TP Sensor 1 and 2 Agree/Disagree parameter displays Disagree, replace the throttle body assembly.
- Observe the engine control module (ECM) module DTC information. Are DTC P1516, P2101 and/or P2176 set?
- If DTC P1516, P2101 and/or P2176 are set, replace the throttle body.
- If DTC P1516, P2101 and/or P2176 are not set, proceed to Step 28.
- Tighten the throttle body fasteners.
Tighten
Tighten the fasteners to 10 Nm (89 lb in). - Install any remaining components that were removed during this procedure.
- Perform the Throttle Learn Reset Procedure.
