    This document provides troubleshooting steps for diagnosing and repairing issues related to DTC codes P1516, P2101, P2119, or P2176 on a 2014 Chevrolet Cruze. The steps include testing the throttle body assembly and related circuits for issues like binding, short to ground, short to voltage, and high resistance. Replacing the throttle body assembly or engine control module may be needed if issues are found. Verification involves clearing codes, performing a throttle sweep test to check for proper TAC motor enable display, and rechecking for codes.

    3/20/2021 DTC P1516, P2101, P2119, or P2176 • 2014 Chevrolet Cruze • MotoLogic

    Circuit/System Testing

    1. Ignition OFF.
    Warning: Turn OFF the ignition before inserting fingers into the throttle bore. Unexpected movement of
    the throttle blade could cause personal injury.

    2. Verify the conditions listed below do not exist with the Q38 Throttle Body assembly:

    Note:

    The rest position is defined as the actual Throttle Position percentage when the ignition is OFF or with the
    ignition ON for greater than 30 seconds.
    When the ignition is OFF, spring tension should hold the throttle plate in the rest position. You should be
    able to open the throttle plate to wide open throttle (WOT) or push the throttle plate to the fully closed
    position. In each case, the throttle plate should return to the rest position without assistance.
    A throttle blade that is not in the rest position
    A throttle blade that is binding open or closed
    A throttle blade that is free to move open or closed without spring pressure

    If a condition is found

    Test or replace the Q38 Throttle Body Assembly.

    If a condition is not found


    Ignition OFF.
    Note:

    Disconnecting the throttle body harness connector may cause additional DTCs to set.
    The Test Lamp must be connected to circuit before turning ignition on or incorrect diagnosis may occur.
    Disconnect the harness connector at the Q38 Throttle Body assembly.
    Cycle the Ignition ON and OFF and then ON again.
    Verify that a test lamp illuminates between each motor control circuit listed below and ground.

    TAC Motor Control Closed circuit terminal A


    TAC Motor Control Open circuit terminal B

    If the test lamp does not illuminate

    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K20 Engine Control Module.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the appropriate control circuit and ground.

    If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.

    If infinite resistance
    Test for less than 2 Ω on the control circuit from end to end.

    If greater than 2 Ω, repair the open or high resistance on the circuit.

    If less than 2 Ω, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.

    If the test lamp illuminates


    Disconnect the harness connector at the K20 Engine Control Module.
    Test for less than 1 V between each motor control circuit listed below and ground.

    TAC Motor Control Closed circuit terminal A


    TAC Motor Control Open circuit terminal B

    If greater than 1 V

    Repair the short to voltage on the circuit.

    If less than 1 V


    Test or replace the Q38 Throttle Body assembly.

    Repair Instructions

    Throttle Body Assembly Replacement


    Control Module References for Engine Control Module replacement, programming, and setup

    Repair Verification

    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Install any components that have been removed or replaced during diagnosis.
    3. Perform any adjustments, programming or setup procedures that are required when a component is
    removed or replaced.
    4. Ignition ON.
    5. Clear the DTCs with a scan tool.
    6. Turn the ignition OFF for 60 s.
    7. Ignition ON.
    8. Verify the scan tool TAC Motor parameter displays Enabled while performing the Throttle Sweep Test with
    a scan tool.

    If Enabled is not displayed

    Test or replace the Q38 Throttle Body assembly.

    If Enabled is displayed
    If the repair was related to a DTC, duplicate the Conditions for Running the DTC and use the Freeze
    Frame/Failure Records, if applicable, in order to verify the DTC does not set.

    If DTC sets

    Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle for further diagnosis.

    If DTC does not set


    All OK.
