DTC P0123: TP Sensor Circuit High Voltage
1. Turn the ignition switch oN (ll)
2. Check the throttle position with the scan tool.
ls there about 10% or 0.5 V when the throttle is
fully closed and about 90% or 4.5 V when the
throttle is f ully opened?
YES lntermittent failure. system is OK at this time.
Check for poor connections or loose terminals at
the TP sensor and at the ECM, I
NO Go to step 3.
3. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
4. Disconnect the TP sensor 3P connector.
5. Turn the ignition switch ON (ll).
6. At the wire harness side, measure voltage between
the TP sensor 3P connector terminals No. 1 and
No.3.

YES Checkthe rad iato r fan circuit (see page 10-
14), the radiator fan switch circuit (Short) (see page
10-'16), and the radiator fan switch (see page 10-17).
Also, inspect the ECT and IAT circuits and terminal
connections. lf the circuits, the switch, and the
connections are OK, update the ECI\4 if it does not
have the latest software. or substitute a known-good ECM, then recheck (see page 1 1-6). lf the
symptom/indication goes away with a known-good
ECM, replace the original ECM.I
