DTC P0122: Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch "A" Circuit Low [11/2021 - ]: Procedure
- CHECK DTC
- Turn the ignition switch to ON.
- Using GTS or a general scan tool, read the DTC of [Engine].
Powertrain > Engine Control System > Trouble Codes
Is DTC P0122 displayed? (Current code)
Result Proceed to Yes A No (Even if DTC is detected, the circuit has returned to a normal condition at this time. Reproduce the failure, and then perform the diagnosis again.) B
Result:
B
PERFORM SIMULATION TEST
Result:
A
See step 2
- CHECK FOR POOR CONTACT
- Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
- Check for poor contact of ECM and throttle body with motor assembly connector.
Is there poor contact in ECM or throttle body with motor assembly connector?
Result Proceed to Yes (Repair the poor contact of ECM or throttle body with motor assembly connector.) A No B
Result:
A
REPAIR CONNECTOR
Result:
B
See step 3
- CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND THROTTLE BODY WITH MOTOR ASSEMBLY CONNECTOR (OPEN)
- Disconnect the connector from ECM.
- Disconnect the connectors from throttle body with motor assembly.
- Measure the resistance of harness between ECM connector and throttle body with motor assembly connector.
Connector & terminal
B1-27 (TPS5V) - B30-5
B1-29 (THSM) - B30-6
Is the resistance less than 1 Ω?
Result Proceed to Yes A No (Repair the open circuit of harness between ECM connector and throttle body with motor assembly connector.) B
Result:
B
REPAIR HARNESS
Result:
A
See step 4
- CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND THROTTLE BODY WITH MOTOR ASSEMBLY CONNECTOR (SHORT TO GROUND)
- Measure the resistance between the ECM connector and engine ground.
Connector & terminal
B1-27 (TPS5V) - Engine ground
B1-29 (THSM) - Engine ground
Is the resistance 1 MΩ or more?
Result Proceed to Yes A No (Repair the ground short circuit of harness between ECM connector and throttle body with motor assembly connector.) B
Result:
B
REPAIR HARNESS
Result:
A
See step 5
- Measure the resistance between the ECM connector and engine ground.
- CHECK POWER SUPPLY OF THROTTLE BODY WITH MOTOR ASSEMBLY
- Connect the connector to ECM.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON.
- Measure the voltage between throttle body with motor assembly connector and engine ground.
Connector & terminal
B30-5 - Engine ground
Is the voltage 4.5 - 5.5 V?
Result Proceed to Yes (Replace the throttle body with motor assembly.) A No (Replace the ECM.) B
Result:
A
REPLACE THROTTLE BODY WITH MOTOR ASSEMBLY. Refer to REMOVAL [11/2021 - ]
Result:
B
REPLACE ECM. Refer to REMOVAL [11/2021 - ]
