Throttle Position ITP) Sensor ('96 - 98 Models,'99 - 00 D16Y5 engine with M/Tl
The scan tool indicates Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0122: A low voltage problem in the Throttle Position(TP) sensor circuit.
The TP Sensor is a potentiometer. lt is connected to the throttle valve shaft. As the throttle position changes, the throttleposition sensor varies the voltage signal to the ECM/PCM.
