DTC P0222 Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch "B" Circuit Low Input: General Description

The Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) system is made of the components throttle body, Throttle Position Sensor (TPS)1&2 and Accelerator Position Sensor (APS) 1&2. TPS1&2 are sharing the same source voltage and ground. The throttle valve opening is control by throttle motor which is controlled by Engine Control Module (ECM). The opposite position indicator shows inverted signal characteristics. TPS1 output voltage increases smoothly in proportion with the throttle valve opening angle after starting. TPS2 output voltage decreases in inverse proportion with the throttle valve opening angle after starting. TPS provides feedback to the ECM to control the throttle motor in order to control the throttle valve opening angle properly in response to the driving condition.
