Default MAXIMA 05 SE GETTING : P2138 TRC OFF car stalls

Hello,

I get error code P2138 when i hooked it up to the code reader. I get service engine lite, traction off , then car stalls and dies. I have to turn it off then on to get it going again. When it happens accelerator dosent work at all, even tried to used tiptronic and still car wont respond. I have to turn it off completely then it starts working fine again. I am driving Maxima 2005 SE.

Thanks!

P2138 Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor

from the engine control manual
"The accelerator pedal position sensor is installed on the upper end
of the accelerator pedal assembly. The sensor detects the accelerator
position and sends a signal to the ECM.
Accelerator pedal position sensor has two sensors. These sensors
are a kind of potentiometers which transform the accelerator pedal
position into output voltage, and emit the voltage signal to the ECM.
In addition, these sensors detect the opening and closing speed of
the accelerator pedal and feed the voltage signals to the ECM. The
ECM judges the current opening angle of the accelerator pedal from
these signals and controls the throttle control motor based on these
signals."

download the engine control section of the service manual. page 661 tells u where its at.

Your vehicle is in Failsafe due to the failure of the petal position sensor.
