P0122

WIRING DIAGRAM

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The throttle position sensor is connected to the throttle valve shaft on the throttle body, and detects the throttle valve opening. The throttle opening is detected by the potentiometer as follows. A 5-volt reference voltage is applied to the sensor from ECM and as its brush moves over the print resistance according to the throttle valve opening, the output voltage varies accordingly. By monitoring sensor output voltage, ECM detects the throttle valve opening. ECM uses the signal from TP sensor as one of the signals to control fuel injector, ISC actuator, EGR solenoid vacuum valve and automatic transmission.





DETECTING CONDITION AND POSSIBLE CAUSE

NOTE: When DTC P0107, P0122 and/or P0450 are indicated together, it is possible that "Lg" circuit is open.

DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE
