We have a 2002 Chevy Trailblazer. We are trying to figure out how to reprogram throttle body. We have already cleaned it. Also the idle is low and when we drive it and slow down we have no power steering, could that be caused by the throttle body not turning the power steering pump?

Throttle bodies are not programmable. The PCM can relearn idle strategy or a tech with a factory scan too scan perform an idle relearn procedure to the PCM. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

What about the power steering issue? Could that be related to the throttle body?

PS is a load on the engine that needs to learn how to cover with appropriate idle speed. Not checking now but many will sense high pressure in PS hose which in turn tells the PCM what to do to cover it, T

The engine has to be turning fast enough to run the pump. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

You can disconnect and reconnect the battery to reset throttle adaptation on that one. Are there any trouble codes in the PCM? Reduced power message showing up in the DIC? When you cleaned the throttle body how did the throttle plate feel when you opened it by hand? It should open smoothly without any binding. When the throttle closes it should spring back to a semi open position with no power to the throttle body motor. Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.
