DTC P0122/P0123 - Throttle Position (TP) Sensor Circuit Input
- P0122 - TP Sensor Circuit Low Input
- P0123 - TP Sensor Circuit High Input
- Install scan tool. Start engine and check if DTC P0122 or P0123 is present. If DTC is present, go to next step. If DTC is not present, problem is intermittent.
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect TP sensor harness connector. Turn ignition on. Connect DVOM between TP sensor harness connector terminal No. 3 and ground. Voltage reading should be 4.8-5.2 volts. If voltage is as specified, go to next step. If voltage is not as specified, check circuit between terminal No. 3 and ECM. See appropriate wiring diagram in WIRING DIAGRAMS section.
- Turn ignition off. Connect DVOM between TP sensor harness connector terminal No. 2 and ground. Continuity should be present. If continuity is present, go to next step. If continuity is not present, check circuit between terminal No. 2 and ECM.
- Disconnect ECM harness connector. Check for open in circuit between TP sensor harness connector terminal No. 1 and ECM harness connector terminal No. 73. Repair circuit as necessary. If circuit is okay, go to next step.
- Reconnect ECM harness connector. Connect DVOM between TP sensor terminals No. 2 and 3. Resistance should be 700-3000 ohms with throttle closed. If resistance is as specified, go to next step. If resistance is not as specified, replace TP sensor.
- Connect an analog type ohmmeter between TP sensor terminals No. 1 and 3. Move throttle from idle to wide-open position. Ohmmeter needle should sweep smoothly in proportion to throttle opening. If movement is not smooth, replace TP sensor. If movement is smooth, go to next step.
- Reconnect TP sensor harness connector. Clear DTC. See CLEARING DTC(S) . Retest system. If DTC resets, replace ECM.
