DTC P0120-1C: Throttle / Pedal Position Sensor / Switch "A" Circuit Voltage Out of Range [11/2023 - ]: Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR - ECM) 
    1. Disconnect the throttle body with motor assembly connector.
    2. Disconnect the ECM connector.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      C27-2 (VC) - C55-109 (VCTA) Always Below 1 Ω
      C27-1 (VTA) - C55-108 (VTA1) Always Below 1 Ω
      C27-3 (VTA2) - C55-87 (VTA2) Always Below 1 Ω
      C27-4 (E2) - C55-110 (ETA) Always Below 1 Ω
      C27-2 (VC) or C55-109 (VCTA) - Body ground and other terminals Always 10 kΩ or higher
      C27-1 (VTA) or C55-108 (VTA1) - Body ground and other terminals Always 10 kΩ or higher
      C27-3 (VTA2) or C55-87 (VTA2) - Body ground and other terminals Always 10 kΩ or higher
    4. Inspect the condition of the terminals of the connectors.

      Refer to ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT INSPECTION PROCEDURE [12/2019 - ]

    A 

    END 

    Result: 

    B 

    See step  5

  5. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (RESISTANCE OF ECM) 
    1. Disconnect the throttle body with motor assembly connector.
    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      C27-2 (VC) - C27-1 (VTA) Ignition switch off 190 to 210 kΩ
      C27-2 (VC) - C27-3 (VTA2) Ignition switch off 190 to 210 kΩ

      HINT: 

      Perform "Inspection After Repair" after replacing the throttle body with motor assembly.

      Refer to INITIALIZATION [10/2021 - ]
