DTC P0222: Throttle Position (TP2) Sensor Circuit Low Input

P0222 - THROTTLE POSITION (TP2) SENSOR CIRCUIT LOW INPUT

Description:  The electronic throttle control (ETC) TP2 sensor was flagged as fault status by the powertrain control module (PCM) indicating a low voltage, or open circuit.
Possible Causes: 
  • Open ETC TP sensor harness
  • Short to ground in the ETC TP sensor harness
  • Damaged TP sensor
  • SIG RTN circuit open to the TP sensor
Diagnostic Aids:  The fault exhibits a symptom of limited power. A TP2 PID (TP V PID) reading less than 3.42% (0.17 volt) during key on engine off (KOEO) or key on engine running (KOER) indicates a hard fault.
