| P0122 TP Sensor A Circuit Low Voltage |
DTC (PGM-FI)
- Problem verification
-1. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.
- 2. Clear the DTC with the HDS.
- 3. Check the parameter(s) below with the HDS.
Signal Threshold Current conditions Values Unit Values Unit TP SENSOR A Less than 0.3 V Do the current condition(s) match the threshold?
YES
The failure is duplicated. Go to step 2.
NO
Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the throttle body and the PCM. If the freeze data/on-board snapshot of this DTC is recorded, try to reproduce the failure under the same conditions with the freeze data/on-board snapshot.
- Determine possible failure area (VCC5 line, THL1 line)
-1. Check for Pending or Confirmed DTCs with the HDS.
DTC Description Confirmed DTC Pending DTC Freeze Frame P0122 TP Sensor A Circuit Low Voltage P0222 TP Sensor B Circuit Low Voltage Are DTC P0122 and P0222 indicated at the same time?
YES
Go to step 4.
NO
Go to step 3.
- Shorted wire check (THL1 line)
-1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.
- 2. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.
- 3. Disconnect the following connectors.
- 4. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.
Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode PCM connector B (51P): disconnected Throttle body 6P connector: disconnected Test circuit THL1 Test point 1 Throttle body 6P connector No. 6 (RED) Test point 2 Body ground Is there continuity?
YES
Repair a short in the THL1 wire between the PCM (B31) and the throttle body.
NO
The THL1 wire is OK. Update the PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good PCM - Refer to: PCM Removal and Installation (2014 2015), or PCM Removal and Installation (2016) .
- Determine possible failure area (VCC5 line, throttle body)
-1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.
- 2. Disconnect the following connector.
Throttle body 6P connector - 3. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.
- 4. Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.
Test condition Vehicle ON mode Throttle body 6P connector: disconnected Test circuit VCC5 Test point 1 Throttle body 6P connector No. 5 (BLU) Test point 2 Body ground Is there about 5.0 V?
YES
NO
Go to step 5.
- Open wire check (VCC5 line)
-1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.
- 2. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.
- 3. Disconnect the following connector.
- 4. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.
Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode Throttle body 6P connector: disconnected PCM connector B (51P): disconnected Test circuit VCC5 Test point 1 Throttle body 6P connector No. 5 (BLU) Test point 2 PCM connector B (51P) No. 44 (BLU) Is there continuity?
YES
The VCC5 wire is OK. Update the PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good PCM - Refer to: PCM Removal and Installation (2014 2015), or PCM Removal and Installation (2016) .
NO
Repair an open in the VCC5 wire between the PCM (B44) and the throttle body.
