JimBellArmada Posted June 3, 2020 Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 I have a 2009 Journey with the 2.4L VVT. 125K miles. Got the dreaded Throttle Position Sensor and Runner Valve error codes. Car was going into limp mode. I replaced the Throttle Position Sensor, Pedal. Replaced the intake and runner activator. I am still getting the lightening bolt trouble and engine lights. Once the cars warms up if I remove the battery, wait 10min, reconnect and then hold the accelerator to the floor with key on the lightening bolt will go to flashing mode and the car enters limp. Lost at where to check next. Any suggestions? Perhaps I got a faulty throttle position sensor? The intake valves moved nice on the new Mopar intake I installed. Is there a process to get the PCM to refresh itself or something? Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John/Horace Posted June 4, 2020 Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 (edited) There may be a relearn procedure for the new sensors you replaced. PCM reflashing. Are the same codes coming up after parts change? Edited June 4, 2020 by John/Horace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimBellArmada Posted June 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 Same codes. 2017,2004,0123,0113 not sure how to trigger a relearn. Only have held accelerator to floor with key on. That seems to trigger the ETC light to flash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John/Horace Posted June 5, 2020 Report Share Posted June 5, 2020 (edited) Often a obd diagnostic tool is used for some sensor replacements. Plug and play does not always work. At a minimum try clearing the codes again with a standard code reader, unhooking battery usually not helpful. Most mechanics have some type of advanced scanner Autotel etc for this kind of work beyond regular obd11 scanning.
