You may have one or two problems here, try removing Ground G103 on the back of the cylinder head, clean both the mating surface and the wire end, use emory cloth and get it nice and brite, re attach ground and cover with RTV. Let me know if this helps, here's the GM TSB on it:
CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON WITH NO DRIVEABILITY CONCERNS, DTC P0120, P0220, P1516, P1518 (CLEAR CODE) TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN Reference Number(s): 03-06-04-032, Â Date of Issue: Â June 16, 2003 Related Ref Number(s): 03-06-04-032 ARTICLE BEGINNING CONDITION Some owners may comment that the Check Engine Light is illuminated and there is no driveability concern. Upon investigation, the technician may find codes P0120, P0220, P1516 or P1518. Also, technicians may note that low voltage codes P0562, P0563, P1637 or P1638 have been set. CAUSE The Tach module may set the code in error if it operates at a battery voltage of 4.5 to 5.0 volts. CORRECTION If the vehicle has stored one of the low voltage codes, P0562, P0563, P1637 or P1638, follow the appropriate diagnostics for the low voltage code. In most cases, this will lead to correcting the concern without replacing any Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) components. If codes P0120, P0220, P1516 or P1518 are present without any of the low voltage codes, the technician should observe the Engine RPM in the fault record. Ã Â Â If the Engine RPM in the fault record is zero and the customer indicates that the vehicles has experienced a low voltage condition, the code should be cleared and the low voltage should be diagnosed and corrected. Ã Â Â If the Engine RPM is zero and the customer indicates that there have been no low voltage conditions, then the P1516 diagnostic aids for intermittent concerns should be used to diagnose and correct the vehicle. Ã Â Â If the Engine RPM is greater than zero, then check for an obvious loose ground at G103 located next to the right cylinder head just below the head and mounted into the block. Also, check G104 located behind the left cylinder head. Then verify all electrical connections at the TAC module. If the concern is still not resolved, contact Technical Assistance.
