Circuit Description

Throttle Position (TP) sensor is located on throttle body and has 2 variable resistors integral to TP sensor. TP sensor monitors throttle opening. ECM determines vehicle driving condition and adjusts air/fuel mixture accordingly. DTC is set when ECM detects voltage is out of range on VTA or VTA2 circuits. Possible causes are:

• TP sensor circuit is open or shorted.
• Defective TP sensor.
• Defective ECM.
