Hello,

So I tested the throttle body with ohms and everything comes back fine and dandy. Even when pressing the throttle body plate up and down I see the ohms jump or fall. I'm getting a p2101 and am on low power mode. I figured that I would start back probing and go back to the PCM bank 2 to see if the wires are the issue. After probing the wires on the PCM connector I am not getting any(ohms) reading back, I followed the wires all the way back to the pigtail on the throttle body and back probed there and still don't get ohms

Any suggestions?

After disassemble of the pig tail I get the ohms but not on the wire (poked holes in it to get readings). Attached is an image of me back probing after disa

Whenever encountering problems that can occur between the Throttle Body and ACC Pedal NOT being able to reconcile with each other ...Remember that the Throttle Body is an Electro-MECHANICAL Device.

Thus, there is the necessity of completely removing the Throttle Body, examining and cleaning it thoroughly with proper CRC Carburetor-Throttle Body Cleaning Solvent that might reveal either a Damaged or STUCK Butterfly Plate.

The PCM will automatically shunt the system to Reduced Power if there is ANY doubt that the in-coming Air Flow might become ---Out Of Control.

On Later Model SUVs... the MAF is included in this REP Calculus ...for the very same reasons. All of these events must be reigned in immediately so as to prevent any possibility of having a RUNAWAY ENGINE.
