DTC P1223: TP Sensor 2 Circuit Low Input Or DTC P1224: TP Sensor 2 Circuit High Input: Description

Electric Throttle Control Actuator consists of throttle control motor, Throttle Position (TP) sensor, etc. The TP sensor responds to the throttle valve movement. The TP sensor has the 2 sensors. These sensors are a kind of potentiometers which transform the throttle valve position into output voltage, and emit the voltage signal to the ECM. See Figure . In addition, these sensors detect the opening and closing speed of the throttle valve and feed the voltage signals to the ECM. The ECM judges the current opening angle of the throttle valve from these signals and the ECM controls the throttle control motor to make the throttle valve opening angle properly in response to driving condition.
