2006 Cadillac SRX Throttle Body Parts and Q&A

• Q: How to service the throttle body on 2006 Cadillac SRX?

  A: To service the Throttle Body start with removing the air cleaner intake duct. Open the throttle valve to maximum to check for deposits in the bore of the Throttle Body and throttle valve plate. Clean Throttle Body bore and throat valve plate with clean shop towel and top engine cleaner (GM P/N 1052626) or like product; if required, use a parts cleaning brush to clean heavy deposits. Do not use an immersion cleaner or stronger solvent on assemblies that have the throttle position (TP) sensor, idle air control (IAC) valve and sealed throttle shaft bearings because these cleaners have the potential to harm the electric components and sensors as well as seals or o-rings. In addition, solvents can carry away non serviceable throttle shaft bearings' bearing grease. Avoid using a wirebrush/scrapper as well because these devices could damage Throttle Body parts; do not clean with solutions that contain the substances like methyl ethyl ketone, which is, however, unnecessary for this cleaning exercise. Lastly, load the air cleaner duct in place.
