Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Code Enable Criteria
- Engine has been running for more than 2 minutes.
- Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) is more than 158°F (70°C).
- Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) is less than 43 kPa for a TP sensor skewed high test.
- MAP is more than 67 kPa for a TP sensor skewed low test.
- MAP is steady for 2 seconds or more.
- TP does not varying more than 1.5 percent for 2 seconds or more.
- DTCs P0101, P0102, P0103, P0106, P0107, P0108, P0122, P0123, P0506, P0507, P1106, P1107, P1121, or P1122 are not set.
DTC sets when TP sensor reading is more than a predicted value when MAP is less than 43 kPa for more than one second. DTC will also set when TP sensor reading is less than a predicted value when MAP is more than 67 kPa for more than one second.
