Here is the definition. You may need to have someone check the accelerator pedal position sensor and the circuit.

P2138 NISSAN Description The Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) sensor is installed on the upper end of the accelerator pedal assembly. The sensor detects the accelerator position and sends a signal to the Engine Control Module (ECM).
Accelerator pedal position sensor has two sensors. These sensors are a kind of potentiometers which transform the accelerator pedal position into output voltage, and emit the voltage signal to the ECM.
In addition, these sensors detect the opening and closing speed of the accelerator pedal and feed the voltage signals to the ECM. The ECM judges the current opening angle of the accelerator pedal from these signals and controls the throttle control motor based on these signals.
Idle position of the accelerator pedal is determined by the ECM receiving the signal from the accelerator pedal position sensor. The ECM uses this signal for the engine operation
such as fuel cut.

Why is there recurrent DTC P2138?

TBW blues, THROTTLE BY WIRE
NEW PARTS FROM gm OR AFTER MARKET STUFF.
THAT IS P2 OEM FACTORY ONLY CODE.

well did you use the scan tool after all those new parts
TB and pedal
and reset all DTC then drive plenty ? to see it fail again
if yes,bad wiring. or using wrong parts.
no engine told at all
no VIN told, no RPO codes for engine. told.
lacking that it be super easy to get wrong parts, on 3 _+ engines
2,8L , 3.6, and 5.7L V8
none told. and is a pure engine EFI question
to work on any car not knowing what is there, we read the RPO tag
shows engine codes. and we buy parts only ON THAT>
all 3 TB ARE DIFFERENT.
Most of these parts have connector that lock, some are double locked, and if forced are broken.
try re-seating all TB and pedal connectors, with due care.
fully re-seated.
and wire damage.

THE SM STATES AND I QUOTE

Trouble Code: P2138 (3.6L V6 VIN 7 Auto)
Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensor 1-2 Correlation

Print this code data

Trouble Code Conditions:
The battery voltage is more than 7.0 volts. The ignition is ON or the engine is operating. DTC P2138 run continuously once the above conditions are met for more than 1 second. This DTC set when one of the following conditions occur: The ECM detects that the voltage difference between APP sensor 1 and 2 is more than 0.21 volt. The ECM detects that the voltage difference between APP sensor 1 and 2 is more than 0.27 volt with a partially pressed pedal. The ECM detects that the voltage difference between APP sensor 1 and 2 is more than 1.07 volts with a fully pressed pedal. The ECM detects that the APP sensor 1 voltage is more then 1.17 when leaving the idle range and the voltage difference between APP sensor 1 and 2 is more than 0.04. Any of the above conditions exist for less than 4 seconds.

P2138 code for a 2004 dodge ram 5.7 liter

Were the APP codes there BEFORE they replaced the BCM? APP codes usually are an indicator the throttle body needs to be replaced. As a precaution, some recommend to replace the throttle body AND the sensor on the gas pedal together. Unfortunately, this is a dealer only repair most o the time, since the ECM will have to be flashed to sync the new sensors.

MY 04 CHEVY TRAILBLZER HAS CODES P0526 P0141 P2135 P2138

Four seemingly unrelated fault codes;
P0526 - fan speed error
P0141 - downstream O2 sensor lean condition
P2135 - Throttle position sensor fault
P2138 - Accelerator position fault

You need to have a qualified technician diagnose this with a highend scan tool, maybe there is a possibility that a reference voltage is off spec.
