You use Google & type : 2004 Cadillac CTS OBD P2138

That is how you learn about code related issues

SOURCE: CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND REDUCED POWER LIGHT ON,

Replace your throttle position sensor, runs about $60.00 sit on throttle body has a round connector with three wires going o it.

SOURCE: cadillac cts cranks but won't start

My 2003 CTS would not start on the first, second or third try after filling the gas tank. Finally after several months of this occuring every two weeks a check engine light came on. It was the evac purge valve. Tom

SOURCE: Need to add transmission fluid in Cadillac CTS

tod34 is correct. The "fill" area of this transmission is located on the transmission itself. It is a fluid leveling plug located low on the main case toward the back of the trans. You must pump the fluid in through that hole. If you are on level ground and the transmission is properly warmed, you should fill the transmission until the fluid level is flush with the bottom of the hole (starts spilling out)

P1599 and p2138?

P1599 - means that the computer detected that the engine stalled when the ignition had not been turned off.
Does your vehicle have a stalling problem?

P2138 - is the Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor 1-2 correlation.
The accelerator pedal has a sensor and the throttle actuator has the one as well. the computer expect thats both sensor will read the same as the accelerator pedal is operated. If one sensor read differently from the other the computer will set this code.

Long story short, you'll have to have shop to check this code out for you since a scan tool will be needed in the diagnosis of this code.

Reduced power message

Condition:
Some customers may comment on an intermittent MIL/SES light Illuminated with a message center or an indicator that displays Reduced Engine Power. DTC P2138 - Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensor 1-2 Correlation may be set. The voltage difference between APP sensor 1 and APP sensor 2 exceeds a predetermined value for more than 2 seconds. Refer to DTC P2138 in SI for further diagnostics.

Cause:
On some vehicles, the IP to body harness connector, which carries the APP signal to the ECM/PCM, is located in the left hand kick panel area and if the kick panel is not sealed properly, water enters and causes a short in the APP circuits setting a P2138 code.

Correction:
Important: Do Not replace the accelerator pedal assembly.

Locate the IP to body harness connector, which may be located in and around the left hand kick panel area. Check to see if there is a water leak into the area and repair as necessary.

Reduced engine power, service traction control, service stabilitrak

First of all a scan tool is need for this not a code reader, you need to view scan data after you find what code is stored in the PCM. It could have a problem with the powertrain control module, wiring, or the Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensors. Here are a few codes that could set .
DTC P2120: Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensor 1 Circuit

DTC P2122: Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensor 1 Circuit Low Voltage

DTC P2123: Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensor 1 Circuit High Voltage

DTC P2125: Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensor 2 Circuit

DTC P2127: Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensor 2 Circuit Low Voltage

DTC P2128: Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensor 2 Circuit High Voltage

DTC P2138: Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensor 1-2 Correlation

Error code p2138

Here is the definition. You may need to have someone check the accelerator pedal position sensor and the circuit.

P2138 NISSAN Description The Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) sensor is installed on the upper end of the accelerator pedal assembly. The sensor detects the accelerator position and sends a signal to the Engine Control Module (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.
Idle position of the accelerator pedal is determined by the ECM receiving the signal from the accelerator pedal position sensor. The ECM uses this signal for the engine operation
such as fuel cut.

MY 04 CHEVY TRAILBLZER HAS CODES P0526 P0141 P2135 P2138

Four seemingly unrelated fault codes;
P0526 - fan speed error
P0141 - downstream O2 sensor lean condition
P2135 - Throttle position sensor fault
P2138 - Accelerator position fault

You need to have a qualified technician diagnose this with a highend scan tool, maybe there is a possibility that a reference voltage is off spec.

Code p2138

P2138 is Throttle Pedal Position Sensor/ Switch D / E Voltage Correlation. Replace the Throttle Pedal Position Sensor/Switch.Remember to have the set code Cleared from the cars computer, this will turn off the check engine light and reset it. Good Luck and have a good XMASS.

Well you might be talking about a cam shaft noise or a crank-shaft noise. How does the oil look?
