Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Diagnostic Aids
Check for skewed MAP signal. A skewed MAP signal may cause the PCM to incorrectly determine the TP sensor is out of range. Inspect for an unusually low or high MAP reading.
If DTC cannot be duplicated, the information included in the FAILURE RECORDS data can be useful in determining vehicle mileage since DTC was last set. If it is determined that DTC is intermittent, performing DTC P1121 diagnosis may isolate cause of fault. See DTC P1121: TP SENSOR CIRCUIT INTERMITTENT - HIGH VOLTAGE .
