P2135 on Nissan
Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor Voltage Correlation
P2135 on Nissan vehicles indicates throttle/pedal position sensor voltage correlation. Au7o has documented this code across 1 Nissan model — most commonly on Rogue. P2135 means the powertrain computer detected that the two throttle position (TP) or accelerator pedal position sensors disagree with each other. Drive-by-wire systems use redundant sensors so the PCM can cross-check the throttle or pedal reading for safety; if the two signals don't correlate within an expected range, this code sets. As a fail-safe, the vehicle often enters a reduced-power 'limp' mode, causing sluggish acceleration, a stuck or hesitant throttle, and a warning light. Because it affects throttle control, it should be addressed promptly. Typical repair costs on Nissan range from $100 to $900, depending on the specific model and root cause.
Common Causes of P2135
- •Faulty throttle position sensor / throttle body assembly
- •Faulty accelerator pedal position sensor
- •Damaged wiring or connectors at the throttle body or pedal
- •Corroded or loose connector terminals
- •Poor ground or reference voltage problem
- •Carbon buildup binding the electronic throttle plate
- •Failed PCM (rare)
P2135 on Nissan by Model
Nissan Rogue(2 issues)
- Electronic Throttle Body Polymer Gear Fracture Causing Sudden Loss of Power and No-Restart (Recall)2024-2025
The electronic throttle body uses internal polymer gears (chosen for thermal stability at the engine's ~250F operating temperatures). The teeth on these polymer gears can fracture, jamming the throttle valve. This causes sudden loss of power/stalling and, on restart, can prevent the transmission from engaging forward or reverse — creating a rollaway risk. Nissan recall (NHTSA 26V-080-related throttle campaign, ~318,781 units, MY2024-2025 built Nov 13 2023-Apr 28 2025) covers the defect. Over 3,100 warranty claims reported. Separate from the VC-Turbo bearing recall even though both were announced together.
- Throttle Body Carbon Buildup Causing Rough Idle, Hesitation, and Stalling (P2111/P2135)2008-2015
On the naturally-aspirated QR25DE Rogue, carbon and oil grime accumulate inside the electronic throttle body and physically stick the throttle plate, causing rough idle, hesitation, surging, stalling, and a check engine light. P2111 (throttle actuator stuck open) is very commonly triggered by this buildup rather than an electronic failure, so a thorough cleaning is often the first fix; if the internal motor or position sensor has failed, the throttle body is replaced. This is a different mechanism and era from the VC-Turbo polymer-gear fracture recall.

What does P2135 mean on Nissan?▼
P2135 stands for "Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor Voltage Correlation." P2135 means the powertrain computer detected that the two throttle position (TP) or accelerator pedal position sensors disagree with each other. Drive-by-wire systems use redundant sensors so the PCM can cross-check the throttle or pedal reading for safety; if the two signals don't correlate within an expected range, this code sets. As a fail-safe, the vehicle often enters a reduced-power 'limp' mode, causing sluggish acceleration, a stuck or hesitant throttle, and a warning light. Because it affects throttle control, it should be addressed promptly. On Nissan specifically, this code is documented across 1 model.
