I took my car in for a P2135 SES (throttle position sensor) and the dealer told me that my mods caused this and it would cost me $800.00 to fix. I chuckled and asked them exactly which one of my mods somehow caused a malfunction in the signal between the TPS and ECU and this was an electronic failure and not mechnical. They said they would get back to me. This was 2 hours ago. I guess some dealerships underestimate who actually own these cars. I'll keep you guys informed.

 

Yea...you showem you aint no rich, G ownin, ignorant dummy....I love it when I put them on the spot too....they are morons you see...

 

this is a very common engine code.. i had it too after about 5000 miles. my care is bone stock. the dealer is full of it. you'll need a new throttle body though.

 

I just got off with the dealership. They offered a deep apology and said that everything is covered under warranty. He tried to play it off by saying that the car was out of warranty at 66k, but failed to realize I bought the extended joint, biotch! I really think he was trying to cover up trying to get me to pay $800 for a part that my mods had no bearing in its failure.

 

Where was this...please name the dealer and the service writer.

 

Fields, but this is a new guy. The other two know me and very aware of my knowledge of the G. I honestly believe denying warranty is part of the service manual...

Engine Code P2135 Throttle Position Sensor voltage check

Start engine and allow to warm to normal operating temperature

Check voltage between Throttle Valve and ground.

Voltage measurement must be made with throttle position
sensor installed in vehicle.

Throttle Valve Condition Voltage V

Completely Close 0.15-0.85V
Partially Open 0.85-3.5V
Completely Open 3.5-4.7V

Test unsatisfactory? Yes

Is car modded?

Yes

deny warranty

Test complete.

 

LOL!!!

 

Yea, they train them to deny first then ask questions later. See they usually get the older, unaware crowd this way. My car is 8 months old, and I still get the Not under warranty treatment....I hate the fact that I have to always have my guards up when going to the dealer and assume that I am going to ALWAYS have to hackle to get my way, which is the right way according to warranty documents and what not.

 

DeanG35 is my hero.

 

YoFool said so.

 

LMAO . . . Good deal. You got those fools.

 

Libertyville or Glenview?

Libertyville's been fine for me so far.

 

I got my P2135 fixed under warranty last weekend. The parts costed about 800 alone.... I am glad I have warranty

 

i would have been pissed. what he did was unethical at best and illegal at worst. they would have had to offer free services to earn my business..

 

That's crap! I hate dealing with those stupid service departments. Everytime I bring my car in for a problem, they either can't duplicate it or blow it off. I have so many squeaks and rattles now, but I don't bother bringing it to the dealer becuase they can't fix any of them.
