P2135 is a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) for "Throttle Position Sensor/Switch A Circuit High Voltage". This code is triggered when the throttle position sensor (TPS) or switch A circuit detects a voltage that is higher than the normal/expected range. The most common causes for this code to be triggered are:
-
The TPS is faulty and needs to be replaced
-
There is a problem with the wiring to the TPS
-
There is a problem with the throttle position sensor (TPS) itself
-
There is a problem with the throttle body or throttle body sensor
If you are getting this code, it is important to have it diagnosed and repaired as soon as possible. A faulty TPS can cause all sorts of drivability issues including engine stalling, misfires, and poor throttle response.

1. Check for vacuum leaks
- Remove the covers over the vacuum cleaner hoses.
- Check for any holes or tears in the hoses.
- Check for any clogs or blockages in the vacuum cleaner filters.
- Look for any signs of liquid or gas leaking from the vacuum cleaner.
- If there are any signs of leaking, fix the vacuum cleaner by repairing or replacing the components that are leaking.
2. Check the throttle position sensor
- Disconnect the battery cable.
- Remove the air cleaner assembly.
- Remove the throttle body cover.
- Remove the throttle position sensor.
- Clean the sensor with a clean cloth.
- Apply a thin layer of electrical tape to the sensor.
- Replace the throttle position sensor.
- Reconnect the battery cable.
3. Check the wiring to the throttle position sensor
- Remove the air cleaner box.
- Remove the throttle body assembly.
- Disconnect the throttle position sensor electrical connector.
- Check the wiring to the sensor for continuity and proper connections.
- Reconnect the electrical connector and test the sensor.
4. Check for a stuck throttle
- Remove the air cleaner.
- If the throttle is a cable type, disconnect the cable from the throttle body.
- If the throttle is a lever type, remove the lever from the throttle body.
- If the throttle is a cable type, disconnect the cable from the throttle body.
- Check the ends of the cable for kinks or breaks.
- If the cable is kinked or broken, replace it.
- Check the throttle body for any debris or debris on the threads.
- Clean the throttle body and throttle lever if necessary.
- Reinstall the throttle body and lever.
- Reconnect the cable to the throttle body.
