Circuit/System Description
The throttle actuator control (TAC) system uses two accelerator pedal position (APP) sensors to monitor the accelerator pedal position. The APP sensors 1 and 2 are located within the pedal assembly. Each sensor has a 5-volt reference circuit, a low reference circuit, and a signal circuit.
Two processors are also used to monitor the TAC system data. Both processors are located within the engine control module (ECM). Each signal circuit provides both processors with a signal voltage proportional to pedal movement. The processors share and monitor data to verify that the indicated APP calculation is correct.
DTC P0455: Evaporative Emission (EVAP) System Large Leak
The control module tests the evaporative emission (EVAP) system for a large leak. The control module monitors the fuel tank pressure (FTP) sensor signal to determine the EVAP system vacuum level. When the conditions for running are met, the control module commands the EVAP canister purge solenoid valve OPEN and the EVAP vent solenoid valve CLOSED. This allows engine vacuum to enter the EVAP system. At a calibrated time, or vacuum level, the control module commands the EVAP canister purge solenoid valve closed, sealing the system, and monitors the FTP sensor input in order to determine the EVAP system vacuum level. The following table illustrates the relationship between the ON and OFF states, and the OPEN or CLOSED states of the EVAP canister purge and vent solenoid valves.
DTC P2101-
The commanded throttle position (TP), based on accelerator pedal position (APP) and possibly other limiting factors, is compared to the actual TP. The 2 values should be within a calibrated range of each other. Both the powertrain control module (PCM) and the throttle actuator control (TAC) module redundantly monitor the commanded and actual TP. This DTC sets if the PCM detects an out-of-range condition between commanded and actual throttle position.
DTC P1516
The predicted throttle position (TP) is compared to the actual throttle position. The two values should be within a calibrated range of each other. Both the powertrain control module (PCM) and the throttle actuator control (TAC) module redundantly monitor the predicted and actual throttle position. This DTC sets if the PCM detects an out of range condition between the predicted and actual throttle position.
code p 0107 refers to manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor/ barometric pressure (BARO) sensor--low input===causes wiring short to ground---map sensor--baro sensor---ECM
code p 0122 refers to
(1)throttle position(TP) sensor A/ pedal position (APP) sensor A --low input ===causes ---wiring short to ground --TP/APP sensor/s---ECM
(2)TP switch and APP switch A--low input===causes -same as (1)
(3) TP sensor B/accelerator pedal position switch B---circuit malfunction====causes --wiring open/short to ground/short to positive--TP/APP switch--- ECM

No messaage of reduced engine power ? Your vehicle has electronic throttle control . Has four position sensors , two are located in the gas pedal ,an two in the throttle body . The PCM uses these sensor to know how much to open the throttle plate ,allowing more air into the engine . How did you read this code an where did you read it's definition at ? This is not a code for your vehicle . Some time cheap code readers get them wrong .

Reduced Engine Power Mode
When the ECM detects a condition with the TAC system, the ECM may enter a reduced engine power mode. Reduced engine power may cause one or more of the following conditions:
• Acceleration limiting--The ECM will continue to use the accelerator pedal for throttle control; however, the vehicle acceleration is limited.
• Limited throttle mode--The ECM will continue to use the accelerator pedal for throttle control; however, the maximum throttle opening is limited.
• Throttle default mode--The ECM will turn off the throttle actuator motor and the throttle will return to the spring loaded default position.
• Forced idle mode--The ECM will perform the following actions:
- Limit engine speed to idle by positioning the throttle position, or by controlling the fuel and spark if the throttle is turned off.
- Ignore the accelerator pedal input.
• Engine shutdown mode--The ECM will disable fuel and de-energize the throttle actuator.
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

I would check the pedal position sensor. Do it when it's hot.

Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor
Description & Operation
A power supply is applied on the Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensor (main) power terminal from the PCM. The ground terminal is grounded with PCM. When the accelerator pedal is moved from the idle position to the fully opened position, the resistance between the accelerator pedal position sensor (main) output terminal and ground terminal will increase according to the depression.

Testing
Connect a suitable scan tool to the diagnostic connector. Select APP1 or APP2 percentage.
Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
Measure the voltage at the PCM terminal and ground with connectors connected:
APP1-8% load or 0.4 volts with the accelerator pedal releasedAPP1-60% load or 3.0 volts with the accelerator pedal depressedAPP2 -8% load or 0.4 volts with the accelerator pedal releasedAPP2 -60% load or 3.0 volts with the accelerator pedal depressed
If any check above does not meet the specifications, check connectors and wiring between the sensor and PCM. If ok, replace PCM.
If the measured values are outside the standard value range, or if the load % and/or voltage does not change smoothly, replace the sensor.
Connect a suitable scan tool to the diagnostic connector. Select APP1 or APP2 percentage.
Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
Measure the voltage at the PCM terminal and ground with connectors connected:
APP1 %-31.0-32.4% with the accelerator pedal releasedAPP1 %-69.8-81.8% with the accelerator pedal depressedAPP2 %-20.2-21.4% with the accelerator pedal releasedAPP2 %-58.8-70.8% with the accelerator pedal depressed
If any check above does not meet the specifications, check connectors and wiring between the sensor and PCM. If ok, replace PCM.
If the measured values are outside the standard value range, or if the load % does not change smoothly, replace the senso
your code P1481 is for the cooling fan speed the problem is often the wires and connector that go to that unit ... removing and replugging the connector sometimes fixes it ... also check the fan clutch and fan (not as often the trouble) .. there is a techniical bulliten out for this trouble .. (tsb050605012) .. sometimes the wire harness is replaced for the fan ...
your trouble code p1271 is associated with the accelerator pedal position sensor (APP) (right above the gas pedal) .. again check the wiring and connector going to the APP .. if the APP turns out to be bad then its not hard to change and requires no computer changes ... when you get an APP alarm then your car may go into a "reduced speed mode" ... here is a list of the service bullitins on your trailblazer....
