DTC P2119 after timing chain , phaser and intake oil control solenoid r/r
2015 Chevy Malibu LT 2.5 l (LKW) mileage 120420 miles vin 1G11C5S17FF198834
Towed in due to engine noise coming from cam shaft valve train.
codes: P0016, P0089 & P2189.
Tried clearing the P0016 code first by removing the intake oil control solenoid and checking it for a dirty screen or actuator plunger movement.
found actuator plunger was stuck. it would not move back and forth when activated.
changed intake oil control solenoid and that took care of the valve train noise, and it cleared codes P0089 AND P2189. Engine check engine light came back on after a ten mile road test.
p0016 would not clear . Code is related to the intake actuator phaser. Jumped new intake oil control solenoid to see if phaser would start working again.
This did not work . Phaser was locked up.
Changed out both phasers and the complete timing chain set . P0016 CODE CLEARED. (check engine light went off)
p2119 appeared and after idle and throttle speed relearn code P2119 WOULD NOT CLEAR.
Removed negative battery cable and removed TBP connector and cleaned the throttle body by hand with a rag . code still persists.
I have driven the car for forty miles. the check engine light has not come on. the car was returned to the customer.
Is there anything I can do to clear the P2119 code with out changing out the electronic TPS ? is there a problem with the code , since the engine check light does not come back on?
I would appreciate some feedback and I would like to understand what I missed to not getting this code cleared.
Code setting criteria for that code says "The ECM determines that the throttle blade did not return to the rest position within 1s." Have you looked at that data on the scan tool to see what it's doing, or physically watch the throttle plate?
I assume you have the info below but thought I'd post it anyway.
Circuit/System Description
The Throttle Body Assembly contains a contact-less inductive throttle position sensing element that is managed by a customized integrated circuit. The throttle position sensor is mounted within the Throttle Body Assembly and is not serviceable. The Engine Control Module (ECM) supplies the throttle body with a 5 V reference circuit, a low reference circuit, an H-bridge motor directional control circuit, and an asynchronous signal/serial data circuit. The asynchronous signal means communication is only going from the throttle body to the ECM. The throttle body cannot receive data from the ECM over the signal/serial data circuit. The throttle position sensor provides a signal voltage that changes relative to throttle blade angle. The customized integrated circuit translates the voltage based position information into serial data using the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) J2716 Single Edge Nibble Transmission (SENT) protocol. The throttle position sensor information is transmitted between the throttle body and the ECM on the signal/serial data circuit. The ECM decodes the serial data into a representation of voltage signals that are occurring in the throttle body. The information is then displayed on a scan tool as the voltage inputs from TP sensors 1 and 2.
Bw careful how you set timing chains up on GM latemodel engines. Many of them the odd colored link is for intake camshaft Not crankshaft. Some manufacturers have added a printout explaining this, others have not.
