Did you test for continuity and shorts between wires in the throttle harness? (TAC module to TB)

0 volts on brown. 1.6 volts on yellow...

I have not had time to test for shorts. the shop was only open for a half day on saturday.

voltage goes to 0 on yellow with both TAC connectors removed....is the PCM sending the voltage???

once i get my eyes on the wiring diagram, I can test the TB harness wires....

Seems to me that you may have tried a different TAC module before. If not, do you get the same readings with another TAC module?

This first came up during the burnout of my 10th pass at the track a couple months back.

I did swap TC modules...happened to be an 04 HD in the shop this weekend with the same p/n TAC module.

it did not make any difference.

One interesting thing with the diagnostic notes....is that some of the codes don't clear. I may try to get them cleared with a TECH2 and try that 04 TAC again


Anyone want an almost-running truck for cheap? lol

Did you check the TAC module ground circuit to the lug on the firewall as well as the engine ground to firewall?

The yellow/brown wires would be connected to the throttle motor drivers in the TAC module - there is no direct connection to the PCM.
