What is the code for a throttle position sensor?
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0122 stands for “Throttle Position Sensor/Switch A Circuit Low Input.” The powertrain control module (PCM) logs a P0122 code when the throttle position sensor “A” displays lower voltage than normal. As its name implies, the throttle position sensor keeps track of the throttle’s position.
What should throttle position be at idle?
It should be zero or a couple of degrees when you are not working. The gas pedal needs to be pressed very S-L-O-W-L-Y until the throttle is open. At wide open throttle, the percentage of throttle opening should gradually increase.
Does a throttle position sensor need to be calibrated?
Once you have fitted a Throttle Position Sensor, or TPS, you will need to calibrate it from within MEITE. The signal on the chosen pin should sweep from approximately zero to five volts as you move the throttle from fully closed to fully open.
What does p2122 mean on the throttle position sensor?
A P2122 code means that the the car’s computer has detected that the TPS (throttle position sensor) is reporting too low a voltage.
What are the possible causes of p2122 code?
P2122 Possible Causes 1 Faulty Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensor 2 Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensor harness is open or shorted 3 Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensor circuit poor electrical connection 4 Faulty Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
What does p0122 mean on a TPS sensor?
A P0122 code means that the the vehicle’s computer has detected that the TPS (throttle position sensor) “A” is reporting too low a voltage.
What is the code for the accelerator pedal sensor?
Please try again later. If you have a Chrysler, Dodge, or Jeep and your engine light is on and you have a code P2122 or P2127 accelerator Pedal Position Senor / throttle position sensor this is the right video for you.This same throttle position sensor / accelerator pedal has been used in many Dodge Chrysler and Jeep cars.
