Probably Throttle body sensor/ you will have to replace the throttle body since it is built in!

hi, those sound like throttle actuator codes. the throttle body on your vehicle should be an electronically controlled unit without wires to control actual acceration an deceleration. now, there is also an electronic switch called a potentiometer on the gas pedal that transmits signal to the throttle body to tell it what to do. most of the time, the throttle body is what goes bad here. you should also check the wiring to the unit for bad connection by wiggling the wire connector and seeing if the reduced engine power light comes on. if this happens, you will likely have to replace the wiring pigtail and the throttle body. but, in some cases, the gas pedal switch goes bad, and likely what is not allowing the transmission to shift out of park, the pcm may lock out the solenoid controlling the shifter. but, don't just run with that answer, it maybe completely wrong. i have seen more throttle bodies and wiring harnesses go bad than gas pedal switches in those vehicles. but you might want to have a shop diagnose further, it may even be two unrelated problems, or in the powertrain computer itself.

My 2002 trail blazer ltz the reduce engine power light comes on i scan it and the code p280 wont erase what could i do ??

If you mean P0280, this refers to cylinder 7 injector circuit. If you have the V8 engine, then check the wiring to the injector for cylinder 7.

The reduce engine power light has came on I have a 2002 Chevy Trailblazer, what does this mean?

A lot of times it's a filthy or sticking throttle body. With this situation, the computer will throw the reduced engine power light as kind of a safe mode. A lot of times, you won't be able to go past a certain speed too. With the battery disconnected, clean your throttle body with throttle body cleaner. Must be shiny. When finished, drive around for 20 minutes or so, so your computer can re-learn the correct settings of a newly cleaned throttlebody. When driving for 20 min, make sure all accessories are off.

2004 chevy trailblazer-Reduce engine power light, service engine soon light came on together, car lost all power, couldn't even turn the steering wheel, engine stalled. shut off key and started again and...

You need to get the fault codes read to determine where the problem is that set the SES light. Autozone will scan your car at no charge. At some point you will need to get a mechanic involved to further diagnose the codes.

Idles fine sounds good but when u have incline or give it alot of gas it goes into reduced power mode and throws up two lights and two codes p1515 and p1516. Once in reduced power mode u cant do anything...

These codes are related to the throttle body and the throttle position sensor. Check to make sure there is no binding at the throttle body. The problem could also be the stepper motor that drives the throttle plate.

2002 reduced engine power light

You have some kind of ECU problem. You will need to hook to the diagnostic port to find the problem. Your vehicle has gone into limp mode. This enables the vehicle to run, but at a diminished level until you can seek help for the problem. Do not continue to drive it this way as you may cause damage to the engine depending on the nature of the problem.
