CEL P3500 code from bluetooth adapter

I searched around and cannot come up with anything for this P3500 CEL according to "Torque" on my Android, using this bluetooth adapter. Any hints on what this code could be?

2007 Aveo with 62k miles.

Thanks,

i dont think i have commonly heard of a P code in the 3000 range. (some readers convert body codes to higher numbers, etc.) are you sure it is not P0350? which would be the coil pack most likely.

P3500 is definitely what torque registered. Either way, the code went away and cel turned off so ill ask the dealer during the next oil change and let you guys know what they say.

Dealer wants $140 to tell me what the code means. What a racket. Now I am getting a P2135 code which is the TPS. I believe I had this code at around 20k miles. Last time this happened I was under GM warranty and they replaced the throttle body to fix this. I was experiencing stalls like crazy with the car. I'm going to see if I start experiencing the same symptoms and have my extended warranty cover it.

thats what i said, but some, some, readers, ie not very many, will "catalog" body and transmission codes as higher numbers in the display.. i have only seen 2 readres that do this, and if you loose their manual the codes are meaningless.

Any update?

My 2006 also has the fault code "P3500" on and off intermittently. It seems that it is related to throttle but not sure at all. Any updates?

My P3500 CEL went away after the dealer investigated an issue I had with the car starting in the morning. No more CEL's since then.

I pulled out my old service records and here is what the dealer did with the P2135 code:

"Throttle body assembly. Verified concern and found code P2135 for TPS sensor correlation incorrect. After verifying proper signals to the throttle body assembly where the TPS sensors are it was found the correlation was inaccurate as to SI specifications and therefore replaced the throttle body assembly to address the concern. No other repairs needed."
