    P59 and TAC issues Please help me get this rolling

    lots to cover so ill try to keep this to the point, vehicle is a 05 Colorado with 4.8l, 4l80e, 2006 express van ecu and harness with 3 bar os. i purchased a 2006 TAC module and Harness assembly. i then purchased a 2006 envoy/trailblazer pedal assembly as that's what fits in my vehicle physically. i constantly get code U0107 lost comm with tac if i go over 40% throttle or make quick blips of the throttle. ive verified tac module grounds, ignition power, battery power, etc. swapped in another known good 2006 tac module, bought a replacement pedal harness, tried other 2006 pedals. same thing happens every time. I'm at a loss at this point and only thing i can reason is that the etc limits within the tune or something else is hanging me up. it seems that the app sensors in the pedal are seeing ranges the tac doesn't like. but tracking down that info on what ranges should be has been nearly inpossible, i found data for the older 3 APP sensor pedal assemblies and tested my assemblies to see how the APP sensors read to eachother, and the numbers are all very very different. so that diag was pointless. any input or direction is much appreciated, I'm a HP forum noob so if you want my log or tune file to review just lmk how i go about posting it and ill gladly do so. thank you, matt

    PS. truck runs and drives just fine and all other minor tuning tweaks have been a non-issue as long as i stay under 40% throttle.

    I'd think the van pedal would be wanted because you are using the van computer with van DBW, TAC and harness.

    The trailblazer pedal assembly may use different part numbers than what the van does and now you get an issue.
    2016 Silverado CCSB 5.3/6L80e, not as slow but still heavy.

    If you don't post your tune and logs when you have questions you aren't helping yourself.

    That problem happens when the OS in the PCM is not compatible with the TAC module.
    There are 3 types of TAC modules for Gen3 truck engines. What did the TAC come from? Post a picture of the part number
    For your application I would use a 03-05 metallic pedal (cut and weld to fit) with matching TAC and Throttle. This setup is the most common for Gen3 trucks.

    working a double so ill get pics of everything tomorrow evening. for what ive read all TACs from 02-06 work together. i could see the pedal being an issue as its from a 06-07 trailblazer but i haven't found anything stating it wont until you all mentioned the OS. ill get that of my tuning laptop and post as well so we can see what might cause this. i have the pedal that came with the harness and ecu but when i connect it the TB and ecu doesn't even react. like its not even hooked up. however that could be a dead or bad pedal as i never verified myself it to be operational, however the APP sensors in it react and sweep through the ohms to be what ive found to be accurate, but definitely not 100% on that one either to be honest.

    2006 Trailblazer V8 uses a E40 with no separate TAC, completely different universe. You need a pedal from something designed to work with a P59/TAC.

    From '06 Express Electronic Throttle 'Description and Operation':
    The accelerator pedal assembly contains 2 individual accelerator pedal position (APP) sensors within the assembly. The APP sensors 1 and 2 are potentiometer type sensors, each with the following circuits:
    ? A 5-volt reference circuit
    ? A low reference circuit
    ? A signal circuit

    The APP sensors are used to determine the pedal angle. The control module provides each APP sensor a 5-volt reference circuit and a low reference circuit. The APP sensors then provide the control module with signal voltage proportional to pedal movement. Both APP sensor signal voltages are low at rest position and increase as the pedal is applied.
    From '06 TB Electronic Throttle 'Description and Operation':
    The accelerator pedal contains 2 individual accelerator pedal position (APP) sensors within the assembly. The APP sensors 1 and 2 are potentiometer type sensors each with 3 circuits:
    ? A 5-volt reference circuit
    ? A low reference circuit
    ? A signal circuit

    The APP sensors are used to determine the pedal angle. The engine control module (ECM) provides each APP sensor a 5-volt reference circuit and a low reference circuit. The APP sensors provide the ECM with signal voltage proportional to the pedal movement. The APP sensor 1 signal voltage at rest position is less than 1 volt and increases as the pedal is actuated. The APP sensor 2 signal voltage at rest position above 4 volts and decreases as the pedal is actuated.

    As a Hail Mary, go to the APP connector and swap some wires around, A>C/C>A. That should reverse the output of APP2, may not be the correct value but it'll at least go the same direction as what the Express TAC is expecting.

    blindquirrel, you are awesome sir, exact info i was needing. i did infact do the exact wiring swap you described about three weeks ago trying to daig this issue originally thinking my wiring was messed up. your post above that also explains why its hard to find a tac to pedal harness for a trailblazer...cause there isnt one lol. guess im hunting a truck TAC module, have a spare 05 tac harness and pedal, just need the TAC if everyone thinks that will work with my P59. buddies running a similiar setup in his colorado and he has all 04 yukon dbw parts on a P59, idk imagine 05 truck should be the same and cooperate with the OS fine...am i wrong in any of that gents? thanks a ton

    also...possibly hail mary again....whats the odds of copying e40 throttle tables to my p59 tune and making the pedal assembly work? or is it the tac module reading the pedal thats the main issue. becuase it functions, just not on quick changes or above 40%. thats what made me think it was within the ecu variables/ranges to start with and post on here

    You should look at 2004 Envoy/TB 5.3L parts & tune files, since that's the pedal you want to/have to use. '04 was P59 with a separate TAC module, and the same pedal mounting config.

    BTW, '04 & '06 TB pedals have different part numbers but the same bolt pattern (different electrically inside, same outside).

    EDIT: No, sorry! Same p/n.

    TAC module #12588922 and a '04 5.3L Envoy/TB/Rainier/Bravada/whatever OS and you should be good to go (as long as your PCM is compatible). Go back and verify connectors are pinned to match GMT360 diagrams.

    thanks again blindsquirrel, every search I've done today is showing 2004 envoy as E38 ecu. is there a specific part/model number you have for the tac model I'm in need of? because i have everything else if its P59 compatible. I also have a spare truck pedal and harness so i ordered a 2005 tac module as backup, model 12573059. so if i cant find a bolt in option...then a little fab, heat and weldin to the pedal will have to suffice. function is the main priority!

    E38 was never used in any of the GMT360s. P59 for '03-04, E40 '05-06, E67 '07-09 when they went to 58x motors. Wherever you're getting that info from you should probably delete that bookmark.

    and i now have a tac module model 12588922 enroute to me. ill try that one first after verifying harness pinout is proper. if that doesn't jive then well switch to the truck setup and see if the OS agrees with it. fingers crossed. thanks a ton blindsquirrel, even if this isn't a for sure fix it atleast offered me direction on things to check and try. i was getting to a dead spot with the info i had just yesterday.

    I can post '04 Trailblazer diagrams/pinouts if you need, don't want to clutter up everything if you already have them.

    Yes if you don't mind, it'll help me verify tac to pedal harness is pinned properly for when the new tac arrives. Hopefully Monday or Tues
