DTC P1121: Throttle Position Sensor A Inconsistent With MAF/Map Sensor

P1121 - THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR A INCONSISTENT WITH MAF/MAP SENSOR

Description:  This DTC sets when the PCM detects an air leak that exceeds a calibrated limit for greater than 5 seconds. If the airflow entering the engine exceeds the airflow through the throttle, a leak is detected and this diagnostic fails.
Possible Causes: 
  • Unmetered air leaks between throttle body and intake valves
  • Air leaks at the intake manifold
  • Positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) system is leaking or the PCV valve is stuck open
Diagnostic Aids:  Verify the integrity of the PCV system. Refer to POSITIVE CRANKCASE VENTILATION (PCV) SYSTEM for system information.
