Check Engine Light-CEL / Malfunction Indicator Light - MIL
tan1688:
Started ignition and Check Engine Lamp comes on and off
intermittently :mad: when the CEL is there, vehicle goes
to limp mode and no response after stepping on acclerator,
got to turn off and turn on ignition for 10-20 times before
the CEL is off, then everything works fine.
Went to a mechanic for the Check Engine Lamp issue, diagnose
as P2135 Throttle Valve Position Sensor Malfunction.
The shell mechanic explained the behind the throttle body motor
which detect the flap open and close, ratiometric resistive sensor
may have spoilt. :ohmy:
Anybody got similar experience any comments ?

today my engine check light came out when i was nego a zebra crossing type of junction..
engine brake the whole car, i quickly switch on hazard light and restart the car to get it back to normal ops.
the autosaver guys says must change many things that will cost up to 600 bucks...
i didnt do it.. that was around 3000km ago...
worrying sia... dont knw the cause..
some more need to go kl often..
anyone got any more updates...

i got update went to Tan chong Ubi, get checked by OBDII diagnosis
tool, service advisor says the throttle body got to change.
Thus have changed throttle body and the CEL does not come up
anymore. From my last post the throttle valve sensor is behind
the throttle body, they got to change the whole throttle body
cannot just fix the throttle valve sensor.
Total damage : Change throttle body $216.99 sgd + OBDII diagnosis $69.55 = $286.54 :(
heart pain.
After changing for 1month, CEL does not come up anymore.
Since it is intermittent problem when i went during 1st service they
said no problem the mechanic did not do anything just OBDII
diagnosis charge me 69.55.
When i collect car, i switched on and off engine for 20 times,
drive around UBI for 5 times, each time stopping switch off
and on engine. The CEL still comes up and on limp mode go
back to show service advisor problem not solve...
then the service advisor asked to leave car overnight check
next day again where they inform to change throttle body.

just cannot understand why the spring return throttle valve cannot return.. ha ha..
anyway, your cold start idling rpm = ?
mine is around 1.5k maybe until few km later then will drop to 1k or 900rpm..
