P2138 is a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) that indicates an issue with the throttle position sensor circuit. Specifically, this code refers to an abnormal voltage correlation between the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) 1 and TPS 2, which help regulate the throttle and communicate with the engine control module (ECM).
Possible causes for the P2138 code include:
Faulty or damaged throttle position sensor.
Damaged or frayed wiring in the throttle position sensor circuit.
Poor electrical connections in the TPS circuit.
Malfunctioning engine control module (ECM).
To address the P2138 code, you can try the following steps:
Inspect the throttle position sensors and wiring for visible damage or loose connections. If there's any damage, consider repairing or replacing the affected components.
Use a digital multimeter to test the TPS sensors and their circuits to ensure they're functioning correctly. If you're unfamiliar with this process, consult a service manual or qualified technician for guidance.
If the sensors and wiring are in good condition, consider checking the ECM for issues.
Keep in mind that diagnosing and fixing the P2138 code might require specialized knowledge and tools. If you're not confident in your ability to perform these steps, it's best to consult a professional mechanic.
Regarding the differential and transfer case issues, they are not directly related to the P2138 code. These are separate problems that should be addressed separately.
