Summary
SOME VEHICLES MAY EXPERIENCE A MIL ILLUMINATION WITH DTC P2135 STORED IN MEMORY OR DTCS P0123 AND/OR P0222 STORED AFTER THE THROTTLE BODY HAS BEEN REPLACED. • DTC P2135: THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR NO.1 / NO. 2 VOLTAGE CORRELATION • DTC P0123: THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR NO.1 CIRCUIT HIGH INPUT • DTC P0222: THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR NO.2 CIRCUIT LOW INPUT DTCS P0123 AND/OR P0222 MAY BE STORED IMMEDIATELY (OR SOME TIME LATER) AFTER INSTALLING A NEW THROTTLE BODY WITH EITHER PART NUMBER AJ57-13-640D OR AJT1-13-640. THIS IS DUE TO AN ABNORMAL ELECTRICAL NOISE WITHIN THE ENGINE HARNESS OF CERTAIN VEHICLES. THIS CONDITION CAN BE PREVENTED OR CORRECTED BY INSTALLING A SHORT CORD (WITH DIODE) AS DESCRIBED IN THIS SERVICE BULLETIN. NOTE: A SHORT CORD (WITH DIODE) SHOULD ONLY BE USED TO CORRECT DTCS P0123 AND/OR P0222 THAT WERE SET AFTER THE THROTTLE BODY WAS REPLACED. VEHICLES THAT HAVE STORED DTCS P0123 AND/OR P0222 WITHOUT A THROTTLE BODY REPLACEMENT SHOULD BE DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED ACCORDING TO THE WORKSHOP MANUAL, NOT THIS SERVICE BULLETIN.
