DTC P0120-11: Throttle / Pedal Position Sensor / Switch "A" Circuit Short to Ground [12/2019 - 10/2022]: Procedure
- READ VALUE USING GTS (THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR No. 1 VOLTAGE)
- Read the values displayed on the GTS.
Powertrain > Engine > Data List
Tester Display Throttle Position Sensor No. 1 Voltage - Disconnect the throttle body with motor assembly connector.
- Compare the value of the Data List item Throttle Position Sensor No. 1 Voltage after disconnecting the throttle body with motor assembly connector to the value when the connector was connected.
Result
Result Proceed to Changes from less than 0.56 V to higher than 4.535 V A Does not change from less than 0.56 V B HINT:
Perform "Inspection After Repair" after replacing the throttle body with motor assembly.
Refer to INITIALIZATION [12/2019 - 10/2022]
Result:
A
REPLACE THROTTLE BODY WITH MOTOR ASSEMBLY. Refer to REMOVAL [12/2019 - 10/2022]
Result:
B
See step 2
- Read the values displayed on the GTS.
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR - ECM)
- Disconnect the throttle body with motor assembly connector.
- Disconnect the ECM connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition C26-5 (VC) - C54-121 (VCTA) Always Below 1 Ω C26-6 (VTA) or C54-122 (VTA1) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher Result
Proceed to OK NG
Result:
OK
REPLACE ECM. Refer to REMOVAL [12/2019 - 09/2020] , or refer to REMOVAL [09/2020 - 10/2022]
Result:
NG
REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
