The throttle position sensor is inside the throttle actuator. This code is set because the throttle bore is dirty and needs to be cleaned here is a guide to help fix the problem.

Please run down this guide and report back. You will need to clear the codes after you are done.

This truck has a "drive by wire" system and the TPS is internal to the electronic throttle body assembly and is replaced as a complete unit if its bad.

Wrenchtech I will have to say that I do not agree at all, the ac delco part can be purchased on ebay for around 130 and can be installed in fifteen minutes, im glad I dont run my shop how you described this, I can sleep at night and I wouldnt charge anything over $200 for this simple procedure including the learning procedure for the new TB
