DESCRIPTION
The throttle position sensor is mounted on the diesel throttle body assembly and detects the opening angle of the throttle valve. This sensor is an electronic sensor and uses Hall-effect elements.
When the throttle valve is fully closed, a voltage of approximately 0.7 V is applied to terminal VLU of the ECM. The voltage applied to terminal VLU of the ECM increases in proportion to the opening angle of the throttle valve and becomes approximately 3.5 to 4.0 V when the throttle valve is fully opened.
The ECM determines the vehicle driving conditions from the signals input to its VLU terminal. The data is one of the pieces of information used for EGR control, etc.
DTC Detection Drive Pattern | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
Engine switch on (IG) for 3 seconds | Throttle position sensor output (VLU, VLU2) is below 0.2 V for 3 seconds. (1 trip detection logic) | Throttle position sensor Open or short in VLU, VLU2 circuit Open in VC circuit ECM |
DTC Detection Drive Pattern | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
Engine switch on (IG) for 3 seconds | Throttle position sensor output (VLU, VLU2) is higher than 4.8 V for 3 seconds. (1 trip detection logic) | Throttle position sensor Open in E2 circuit VC and VLU, VLU2 circuits are short-circuited ECM |
- HINT:
- If DTC P0122, P0123, P0222 and/or P0223 is stored, the following symptoms may appear:
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
When the output voltage of the throttle position sensor deviates from the normal operating range (between 0.2 V and 4.8 V) for more than 3 seconds, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction of the sensor circuit and illuminates the MIL.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
- NOTICE:
- HINT:
- Read freeze frame data using the GTS. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
