Clear the code - if it recurs, change the sensor.

    If i may....

    1 Thumb ratings are reserved for answers that are abusive, threatening, etc.

    What about my answer is any of that?

    You got the exact diagnosis you were looking for... did you have a follow-up question?

    Do you need absolute PROOF the DTC is what I have listed it as?

    Please re-consider your rating - as most experts here answer free questions, and our rating is our only source of satisfaction for doing so. 1 Thumb rating tend to sting a bit - especially with no explanation.

    Thanks!!

    That explanation is pretty spot on from what I've been able to find searching the internet for several hours.

SOURCE: service engine soon light P1152 code

Most likely a one of the o2 sensors are causing this problem. What you need to do is a get a repair manual and do some pin tests on the O2's and figure out which one is faulty.

2000 grand am gt. Check engine light is off but the Service engine soon light is on. There are no error codes. I have already changed the oil and reset the oil light.

Service engine soon ? Do you mean SERVICE VEHICLE SOON Indicator
The amber SERVICE VEHICLE SOON indicator is an alert to the driver whenever there are specific current codes stored in the BCM or in the event of a loss of Class 2 serial data.

If your vehicle has a check engine light ,it doesn't have service engine soon .One or the other .

code p 2122 refers to accelerator pedal (APP) sensor /switch D --low input===causes --wiring short to ground --APP sensor/ switch

also refers to engine control module (ECM) , idle control ---high input===causes ---wiring short to positive --TP sensor--ETS control valve (ETS----electronic throttle system)

Why does my tahoe keep displaying reduced engine power? The drivetrain and traction control lights also came on.

There is a service bulletin for this concern.The number is 07-06-04-019A.It has to do with the body harness instrument panel connector.It is on the left hand kick panel area inside the instrument panel.You should have the codes checked.You will probably have a P 2138 code.This is for the accelerator pedal position sensor 1 and 2 correlation.Hope this helps.
