Circuit/System Description



The throttle body assembly contains 2 throttle position sensors. The TP sensors are mounted to the throttle body assembly and are not serviceable.



The TP sensors provide a signal voltage that changes relative to throttle blade angle. The Engine Control Module (ECM) supplies the TP sensors



with a common 5 V reference circuit , a common low reference circuit, and two independent signal circuits. The TP sensors have opposite



functionality. TP sensor 1 signal voltage decreases from greater than 4 V at idle to less than 1 V at wide open throttle (WOT). TP sensor 2 signal



voltage increases from less than 1 V at idle to greater than 4 V at WOT.



Conditions for Running the DTC



* The ignition voltage is greater than 7 V.



* The ignition is ON, with the engine OFF, or the engine is operating.



* DTC P0121 runs continuously once the above conditions are met.



Conditions for Setting the DTC



P0121



The TP sensor 1 disagrees greater than 9 percent from TP sensor 2, or TP sensor 1 disagrees greater than 9 percent from the predicted value for



greater than 1 s.



P0122



The ECM detects the TP sensor 1 signal voltage is less than 0.18 V for greater than 1 s.



P0123



The ECM detects the TP sensor 1 signal voltage is greater than 4.6 V for greater than 1 s.



P0221



The TP sensor 2 disagrees greater than 9 percent from TP sensor 1, or TP sensor 2 disagrees greater than 9 percent from the predicted value for



greater than 1 s.



P0222



The ECM detects the TP sensor 2 signal voltage is less than 0.16 V for greater than 1 s.



P0223



The ECM detects the TP sensor 2 signal voltage is greater than 4.9 V for greater than 1 s.



Action Taken When the DTC Sets



* DTCs P0121 and P0221 are Type B DTCs.



* DTCs P0122, P0123, P0222, and P0223 are Type A DTCs.



Conditions for Clearing the DTC



* DTCs P0121 and P0221 are Type B DTCs.



* DTCs P0122, P0123, P0222, and P0223 are Type A DTCs.



Diagnostic Aids



If there is a condition with the TP sensors the ECM defaults to reduced power mode for the entire ignition cycle, even if the condition is corrected.
