Code 21: TPS Signal Volt High: Notes
NOTE:
Test numbers refer to test numbers on diagnostic chart.
- Code 21 will set if TPS is greater than 4.5 volts with ignition on or if the engine is running, TPS voltage is high, airflow is low and all 3 conditions have existed for 3-10 seconds. This step confirms Code 21 is present.
- With TPS sensor disconnected, the TPS voltage should go low if the ECM and wiring are okay.
- Probing the ground circuit with a test light to battery voltage checks the 5-volt return circuit. A faulty 5-volt return will cause a Code 21.
