Throttle Position (TPl Sensor
The scan tool indicates Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0122: A low input (voltage) problem in the Throttle
Position (TP) sensor circuit.
The TP Sensor is a potentiometer. lt is connocted to the throttle valve shaft. As the throttle position changes, the throftle
position sensor varies the voltage signal to the ECM/PCM.

PGM-FI System
Primary Heated Oxygen Sensor (Primary HO2S) (Sensor 1)
The Heated Oxygen Sensors (HO2S) detect the oxygen content in the exhaust gas and signal the ECM/PCM. In operation,
the ECM/PCM receives the signals from the sensor and varies the duration during which fuel is iniected. To stabilize the
sensor's output, the sensor has an internal heater. The Primary HO2S (Sensor 1) is installed in exhaust pipe A.
