Throttle Body Assembly Failure/Reduced Engine Power

[Hum2]

Anyone else having this issue multiple times?....this is the third time for me. They reset the code the first time saying GM had to have 2 instances before they would replace the unit. Now a third failure...they'll probably reset it again, and it will fail agian, when I'm in the middle of nowhere off-roading or a day after the warranty runs out.

3 times is enough. Insist they replace it or determine/correct the problem.

Ha! Insist on 100% service satisfaction from my dealer? I don't get it...it must be like one giant HMO...Let's see, if you break your leg, let's tape it up and see if it goes away on it's own, like before any Doctor's existed! If this thing fails when I'm in the middle of nowhere, I will be really torqued...I guess just at myself, because they will be too far away to hear me/care. I will have to hike out 10 miles to a town with no services. :-) I just don't get it, what shirt off their back is it to replace a part under warranty. I know,...I already have the latest part,...then why is it failing...again???

Oh well...they are trying! And, they have gone out of their way many times to fix things, but they should!!!

Lemon law...that's a "ha ha". Good luck! I know a gal that had the worst H2 in the world and it took over a year with lawyers to get GM to buy it back. My service folder is only an inch or so thick (2.5 years now)...sad but true

We'll, they just tweaked the computer again this time...and said "hope that works"! They saw no codes when they checked it the next day...Makes me wonder if they think I'm crying wolf! :-)

I had the new TB assembly put in at the second failure instance, so they didn't see any reason to replace it this time as I have the latest/newest part.

And, getting in to leave the drivers mirror failed to function properly...again...looks like I'm heading for mirror replacement #5! :-)

Don't get me wrong...I love my H2...just lamenting the loss of my 4-Runner that only had 1 piece of service paper in it's folder in 5 years. Dopey me, for getting rid of that vehicle!

sounds like another feature

Anyone know a simple way to reset the H2....I am aware of disconnecting the battery for a period...anyway to reset say the throttle body assembly without wiping out the radio/seats/shift memory, etc?

I don"t know if Tech will agree w/me but All signals
go through the ing. switch.Maybe there is a comuacation
disrupsion between the PCM and the throttle body,which
may start with the ing switch.Maybe reaching but,Bad ground?

Thanks partsguy:

That may be the case here as after it set overnight, it started up fine for the dealer, and there were no system codes indicating a problem. That's a pretty stupid system if you ask me...there should have been an error code with the reduced engine power driving I went thru...again!
