P0223-THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR 2 CIRCUIT HIGH







- When Monitored:
With the ignition on and battery voltage greater than 10.4 volts.

- Set Condition:
The PCM detects that the Throttle Position Sensor 2 input voltage is above the maximum acceptable value.





Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding.Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting Procedure

1. DTC IS ACTIVE

NOTE: Diagnose and repair any system voltage or sensor reference voltage DTCs before continuing with this test.

1. Start the engine and allow it to reach normal operating temperature.

WARNING: When the engine is operating, do not stand in direct line with the fan. Do not put your hands near the pulleys, belts or fan. Do not wear loose clothing. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.

2. With the scan tool, select View DTCs.

No

- Go to 3

3. (K122) TP SIGNAL 2 CIRCUIT SHORTED TO VOLTAGE




1. Measure the voltage of the (K122) TP Signal 2 circuit in the Throttle Body harness connector.

Is there any voltage present?

Yes

- Repair the (K122) TP Signal 2 circuit for a short to voltage.
- Perform the PCM Verification TestPCM Verification Test.

No

- Go to 4

4. (K122) TP SIGNAL 2 CIRCUIT SHORTED TO THE (F855) 5 VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT




1. Measure the resistance between the (K122) TP Signal 2 circuit and the (F855) 5 Volt Supply in the Throttle Body harness connector.

Is the resistance below 100 ohms?

Yes

- Repair the (K122) TP Signal 2 circuit for a short to the (F855) 5 Volt Supply circuit.
- Perform the PCM Verification TestPCM Verification Test.

No

- Go to 5

5. (K122) TP SIGNAL 2 CIRCUIT SHORTED TO THE (K124) ETC MOTOR (+) CIRCUIT




1. Measure the resistance between the (K122) TP Signal 2 circuit and the (K124) ETC Motor (+) in the Throttle Body harness connector.

Is the resistance below 100 ohms?

Yes

- Repair the (K124) ETC Motor (+) circuit for a short to the (F855) 5 Volt Supply circuit.
- Perform the PCM Verification TestPCM Verification Test.

No

- Go to 6

6. (K122) TP SIGNAL 2 CIRCUIT SHORTED TO THE (K126) ETC MOTOR (-) CIRCUIT




1. Measure the resistance between the (K122) TP Signal 2 circuit and the (K126) ETC Motor (-) in the Throttle Body harness connector.

Is the resistance below 100 ohms?

Yes

- Repair the (K122) TP Signal 2 circuit for a short to the (K126) ETC Motor (-) circuit.
- Perform the PCM Verification TestPCM Verification Test.

No

- Go to 7

7. (K122) TP SIGNAL 2 CIRCUIT OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE




1. Turn the ignition off.

NOTE: When checking circuits at the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), be careful not to damage or distort the connector terminals. Improper measurement technique could result in poor pin to terminal contact.

2. Measure the resistance of the (K122) TP Signal 2 between the Throttle Body harness connector and the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) harness connector.

Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

Yes

- Go to 8

No

- Repair the (K122) TP Signal 2 for an open circuit or high resistance.
- Perform the PCM Verification TestPCM Verification Test.

8. (K922) TP SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE





NOTE: When checking circuits at the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), be careful not to damage or distort the connector terminals. Improper measurement technique could result in poor pin to terminal contact.

1. Measure the resistance of the (K922) TP Sensor Ground circuit between the Throttle Body harness connector and the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) harness connector.

Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

Yes

- Go to 9

No

- Repair the (K922) TP Sensor Ground circuit for an open circuit or high resistance.
- Perform the PCM Verification TestPCM Verification Test.

9. THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR 2 SIGNAL VOLTAGE




1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Connect the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) connector.
3. Connect a jumper wire between the (K922) TP Sensor Ground circuit and the (K122) TP Signal 2 circuit in the Throttle Body harness connector.
4. Turn the ignition on.
5. With the scan tool, read the TP Signal 2 circuit voltage.

Yes

- Go to 10

No

- Go to 11

10. THROTTLE BODY
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Inspect the wiring and connectors between the Throttle Body and the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
