DESCRIPTION
The TP sensor is mounted on the throttle body, and detects the opening angle of the throttle valve. This sensor is a non-contact type. It uses Hall-effect elements in order to yield accurate signals even in extreme driving conditions, such as at high speeds as well as very low speeds.
The TP sensor has 2 sensor circuits, each of which transmits a signal, VTA1 and VTA2. VTA1 is used to detect the throttle valve angle and VTA2 is used to detect malfunctions in VTA1. The sensor signal voltages vary between 0 V and 5 V in proportion to the throttle valve opening angle, and are transmitted to the VTA terminals of the ECM.
As the valve closes, the sensor output voltage decreases and as the valve opens, the sensor output voltage increases. The ECM calculates the throttle valve opening angle according to these signals and controls the throttle actuator in response to driver inputs. These signals are also used in calculations such as air-fuel ratio correction, power increase correction and fuel cut control.
| DTC Code | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
| P0120 | The output voltage of VTA1 quickly fluctuates beyond the lower and upper malfunction thresholds for 2 seconds when the accelerator pedal is depressed (1 trip detection logic). | Throttle Position (TP) sensor (built into throttle body) ECM |
| P0122 | The output voltage of VTA1 is 0.2 V or less for 2 seconds when the accelerator pedal is depressed (1 trip detection logic). | TP sensor (built into throttle body) Short in VTA1 circuit Open in VC circuit ECM |
| P0123 | The output voltage of VTA1 is 4.535 V or higher for 2 seconds when the accelerator pedal is depressed (1 trip detection logic). | TP sensor (built into throttle body) Open in VTA1 circuit Open in E2 circuit Short between VC and VTA1 circuits ECM |
| P0220 | The output voltage of VTA2 quickly fluctuates beyond the lower and upper malfunction thresholds for 2 seconds when the accelerator pedal is depressed (1 trip detection logic). | TP sensor (built into throttle body) ECM |
| P0222 | The output voltage of VTA2 is 1.75 V or less for 2 seconds when the accelerator pedal is depressed (1 trip detection logic). | TP sensor (built into throttle body) Short in VTA2 circuit Open in VC circuit ECM |
| P0223 | The output voltage of VTA2 is 4.8 V or higher, and VTA1 is between 0.2 V and 2.02 V for 2 seconds when the accelerator pedal is depressed (1 trip detection logic). | TP sensor (built into throttle body) Open in VTA2 circuit Open in E2 circuit Short between VC and VTA2 circuits ECM |
| P2135 | Either condition (a) or (b) is met (1 trip detection logic): (a) The difference between the output voltages of VTA1 and VTA2 is 0.02 V or less for 0.5 seconds or more. (b) The output voltage of VTA1 is 0.2 V or less and VTA2 is 1.75 V or less for 0.4 seconds or more. | Short between VTA1 and VTA2 circuits TP sensor (built into throttle body) ECM |

MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECM uses the Throttle Position (TP) sensor to monitor the throttle valve opening angle. There are several checks that the ECM performs to confirm the proper operation of the TP sensor.
If the malfunction is not repaired successfully, a DTC is stored 10 seconds after the engine is next started.
FAIL-SAFE
When any of these DTCs, as well as other DTCs relating to ETCS (Electronic Throttle Control System) malfunctions are stored, the ECM enters fail-safe mode. During fail-safe mode, the ECM cuts the current to the throttle actuator, and the throttle valve is returned to a 7° throttle angle by the return spring. The ECM then adjusts the engine output by controlling the fuel injection (intermittent fuel cut) and ignition timing, in accordance with the accelerator pedal opening angle, to allow the vehicle to continue at a minimal speed. If the accelerator pedal is depressed firmly and gently, the vehicle can be driven slowly.
Fail-safe mode continues until a pass condition is detected, and the engine switch is then turned off.
