P0122

Diagnostic Chart:

Wiring Diagram:

The throttle position (TP) sensor is a variable resistor that is connected to a five volt reference source, a ground, and an input signal at the PCM. When the throttle blade is closed, the sensor input voltage will be low and increase as the throttle is opened. The TP sensor is mounted on the throttle body and connected to the throttle shaft which is controlled by accelerator movement.

DTC PARAMETERS
DTC P0122 will set if TP sensor voltage is less than 0.2 volts:
^ Engine is running.
^ No other TP sensor DTCs have been set.

DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
Check the tightness of the female terminal grip with a spare male terminal.

Normal voltage readings should vary smoothly from 0.4 volts to 4.7 volts 0.2 volts as the throttle is moved from closed to wide open position.
