This is what ross tech says on the code... http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/17989/P1581/005505

Maybe worth checking the wiring to the throttle body. Especially the connections on the plug for corrosion.

Have you also met these conditions? Especially cycling the ignition between clearing the code and doing the alignment?

There are certain test conditions that must be met before doing a TBA:
  • No DTC's in the Engine Controller
  • Battery voltage at least 11.5 V
  • Throttle must be at idling position (keep your foot off the gas pedal)
  • Throttle body part must not be dirty (carbonized).
  • Coolant temperature must be between 5 and 95C
  • If fault codes were cleared cycle the ignition off and back on prior to running Basic Settings.
