DTC P0122 - Throttle Position (TP) Circuit Low Input
NOTE:
If DTC P0107, P0122 and/or P0450 are set together, Light Green wire (sensor reference voltage) may be open.
- Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC). Start engine and allow it to reach normal operating temperature. Observe throttle valve opening percentage on scan tool. If display reads 2 percent or less, go to next step. If display reading is greater than 2 percent, check for an intermittent problem. See TESTS W/O CODES article.
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect harness connector from TP sensor. Turn ignition on. Using a voltmeter, measure voltage between ground and Light Green wire at TP sensor harness connector. If reading is 4-6 volts, go to next step. If reading is not as specified, check Light Green wire for an open or short to ground. Repair as necessary. Retest system.
- Turn ignition off. Unplug PCM connector "B". Using an ohmmeter, check for continuity between Light Green/Black wire at TP sensor harness connector and PCM harness connector "B", terminal No. 9. If continuity exists, go to next step. If continuity does not exist, check Light Green/Black wire for an open or poor connection. Repair as necessary. Retest system.
- Check for continuity between Light Green/White wire at TP sensor harness connector and PCM harness connector "B", terminal No. 6. If continuity exists, go to next step. If continuity does not exist, check Light Green/White wire for an open or poor connection. Repair as necessary. Retest system.
- Using an ohmmeter, measure resistance between specified TP sensor terminals. See Figure . Replace TP sensor if resistance is not as specified. See TP SENSOR RESISTANCE table. If resistance is as specified, replace PCM. Retest system.
