DTC P0123: THROTTLE/PEDAL POSITION SENSOR A CIRCUIT HIGH
| For Vehicles With An Idle Air Control (IAC) Valve | |||
| Description: | The throttle position (TP) sensor circuit is monitored by the powertrain control module (PCM) for a high TP rotation angle (or voltage) input through the comprehensive component monitor (CCM). The test fails if the TP rotation angle (or voltage) changes above the maximum calibrated limit. | ||
| Possible Causes: |
|
||
| Diagnostic Aids: | A TP PID reading greater than 93% (4.65 volts) in ignition ON, engine OFF or ignition ON, engine running indicates a concern is present. | ||
| For All Others | |||
| Description: | The electronic throttle control (ETC) throttle position (TP) sensor 1 circuit was flagged as a concern by the powertrain control module (PCM) indicating a high voltage. | ||
| Possible Causes: |
|
||
| Diagnostic Aids: | This concern exhibits a symptom of limited power. A TP1 PID reading greater than 4.75 volts in ignition ON, engine OFF or ignition ON, engine running indicates a concern is present. | ||
| Application | Key On Engine Off | Key On Engine Running | Continuous Memory |

- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
