I was driving home from work and all of a sudden my 2009 Impala displayed a message on the HUD "Disabled Starter Service Throttle" or similar. The Check engine light was on and there was also a message recommending to service traction control. Does anyone have any insight? I don't believe I am under warranty and I am not that familiar with car repairs.

Somethings that may affect this problem, I had my battery die on me about 3 weeks ago but it has been working fine since. My tpms sensors are non functioning, the guys who replaced my tires broke them or they wore out. They were not working correct after I had replaced my tires about a year ago.

Hello Dash,

I am sorry to hear you are having this concern with your Impala. I would like to look into this further with your Chevrolet dealership. I can certainly review your current warranty status as well. Please private message me your name, VIN, phone number, and dealership name. Hope to hear from you soon.

I am having the same issues as the others with the vehicle a 2010 Impala dying on the interstate and the service throttle warning coming on before hand. I would like to know if there is a recall on this or what the problem may be.

We would welcome the opportunity to look into this further for you. At your earliest convenience, please send us a private message with your VIN to proceed.

I am having the same problem with my 2007 chevy impala coming home from work my
Car said starter disabled service throttle. If this is a recall what do I do because this is VERY UNSAFE. Especially if Chevrolet is aware of this promblem. Or should I get a lawyer.

 

I am having the same problem. My 2009 impala turned itself off while i was at an African safari with my wife & my 15 month baby. Message said 'Starting Disabled, Service throttle' 'Reduced engine power' 'Service traction'. The car was started just 30 minutes before, from the parking lot. It was busy & we were in line for about 30 minutes before the engine turned it self off. I was able to start it after about 5 minutes. Driving back home was scary on the freeway. The check engine light was 'on' till i got home. After a few restarts the 'check engine' light is off now. What should i do? Wait till the light comes back on? Then take it to a dealership?

 

Sounds like a faulty TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) or CPS
(Crankshaft Position Sensor). As a first step, I would consider
checking your OBD (on-board diagnostics)with a scan tool.

Some parts stores offer this service free, but these days a good
scan tool, which will give you years of service, and are a
universal (OBDII) fit for all cars cost less than 1 visit to a
dealership.

 

I just had the same experience as everyone else with my impala. If there is a recall or something please let me know cause I definitely cant have that scare with morning rush hour traffic.

 

I have a 2011 impala and had the same thing happen to me. Cause water gets in the front wheel sensors wiring and over time breaks the wiring insulation down causing the sensor to short out. Replace front wheel sensor wiring.

 

I have a 2012 impala 3.6 flex fuel. I had a my car start misfire and go into reduced engine power. Thne shut off say starter disabled service throttle. Anyone help me please.
