Where is the p1516 fault code on a car?

If the P1516 is the only active fault code present, and there are no updates/TSBs for your particular vehicle, then the next step is to locate the Throttle Actuator Position Sensor (TAPS) on your particular vehicle, which is usually on the side of the throttle body. Visually inspect the connectors and wiring.

What does p1516 mean on a GMC Hummer?

If at .5 volts, the engine is said to be at idle speed. The voltage will vary based upon driver input. Code P1516 is a manufacturer’s specific code, mostly utilized by General Motors products, namely Buick, Chevrolet, GMC, Hummer and Saturn. This lets you know that diagnosing this condition may be different between manufacturer’s vehicles.

When does p1516 set the throttle position?

In these instances, P1516 will set when the voltage being returned by the sensor does not match what is being received by the actual throttle position sensor or in some cases, it may be a calculated throttle position. This particular code can set if the voltage changes from normal to 0 volts or 5 volts for a very short period of time.

What does p2176 stand for in Hyundai?

P2176 – Minimum Throttle Position Not Learned – this code sets if the memory is cleared and the throttle blade is not allowed to return to the fully closed position. Oil Temp Sensor Low – this typically indicates an oil temperature sensor is constantly relaying a low temperature indication (Hyundai).
