The Controller has the SP0 ( Stock mode ) It's a bypass for the Controller's circuit that will prevent any alteration to the original signal.
We always suggest to go back to SP0 if you experience a CEL. |

I have one and have had no issues thus far. My criticisms would be anything above sp4 are useless for daily driving on the street and do not feel like a nice curve but a series of "lurches". SP4 seems fairly smooth and what I consider the car needed to feel like from the factory. My two cents.

using ur example, when I press the gas pedal to say 25%, in stock mode the blade opens to say 15% and then progresses to 25% at which time more fuel is inserted since there is more air coming into the engine.. now when I put in the tc, with the same amount of pressure (25%), there will be a multiplication factor to the signal that is sent to the ecm. Lets for the sake of simplicity assume that it opens the blade to 25% immediately. You see now the time that was lost in progressing from 15%-25%, even if it is small is eliminated. The response is no doubt linear, but you are also putting down more power earlier than in stock mode and hence I think it should affect ur 0-60 or 1/4mile timings. I may be wrong in my understanding, but this is what makes sense to me.

My two cents
I actually got reduced power, yesterday for the first time. I have not added a VTB.
I just came to rest at the side of the road and thought oh shit. WTF The engine stalled, I restarted the engine and it came back to normal. The only thing I could think of is that I did have a good back fire before the reduced power. Then It made me think more, I had purchased gas just before and added 30 bucks into 1/4 of a tank I always put in supreme, by accident I put the Lower octane gas. So you can see, it can be many things that cause reduced power and I am not 100% sure it was just the gas. But I think it was.

Just had the same issue- Reduced Power Mode, on my STOCK 2016 2SS.
Check engine code showing Throttle Position Sensor issue. Going into the dealer tonight. Can anyone who has ALREADY been to their dealer on this post what your fix was?? Thanks! |

I wonder if it might be caused by this since I remember someone mentioned the car got into the limp mode ..etc:

It's discouraging to hear Camaros are having this problem. My '07 Silverado has done this many times with the same P2138 code. Worries me when I'm crossing a busy intersection since I don't know if the truck will suddenly go into reduced power mode and while I'm trying to get past traffic. I had to replaced the entire throttle body once, but the problem is so common that the TPS sensor clipped onto the throttle body is now available as a replacement part. Don't know if the TPS design is related at all to the '07 truck, but apparently it has the same problems.
I've order a '17 ZL1, and won't be happy if I start getting P2138s in it. Can't believe the problem hasn't been fixed in a decade! |

Reduced power mode simply restricts the engine rpm. It does not effect power steering, brakes, abs. When it happens, as long as you keep your cool, you will be able to get off the road pretty safely. |

v111pilot, has the dealer looked at it yet? Did they replace the TPS, the entire throttle body, find some other issue? |

Yes, this problem still exists, it is unrelated to having an aftermarket device installed or not. We've had many people asking if our Controller will fix their issue they already have with the Throttle position sensor error code P2138. The answer is no, it will not fix it, it may actually trigger it sooner because of the voltage modification from the gas pedal. This is not caused by our Throttle Controller. The best solution is to replace the TPS ( Throttle position sensor ). |

Had the 2SS to the dealer, they say it is the gas pedal and that the part is a "high demand" item and is on back order. It seems like the previous posters were correct in surmising that the problem is when the two signals sent from the pedal differ more than a certain threshold, the car goes into limp mode.
This problem happens when I slam the accelerator to full throttle, and then lift off it completely around 50 MPH or so. Hopefully the part fixes it when it gets in... |
