The control module detected that the Throttle position (TP) voltage stayed above the expected range. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Chevrolet.
Possible causes
- Wiring open circuit/short to positive
- poor connections

17 manufacturer-specific interpretations across 16 manufacturers in the TuningBot DTC database.
The control module detected that the Throttle position (TP) voltage stayed above the expected range. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Chevrolet.
The control module detected an unstable or intermittent signal in the TP Sensor circuit. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Chrysler.
The control module detected a fault associated with the Decreased Engine Performance Due To High Intake Air Temp circuit or function; the stored code identifies the affected component rather than a single failure mode. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Dodge.
The control module detected a fault associated with the Throttle Position Sensor Inconsistent with Mass Air Flow Sensor circuit or function; the stored code identifies the affected component rather than a single failure mode. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Ford.
The control module detected that the Throttle position (TP) sensor - position value was lower than expected for the current conditions. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Honda.
TP sensor
The control module detected improper operation of the APS PWM Output circuit. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Hyundai.
The control module judged the Pedal Position Sensor A signal implausible: it stayed inside electrical limits but did not match the value expected for the current operating conditions. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Jaguar.
The control module detected a fault associated with the AT - TP sensor signal circuit or function; the stored code identifies the affected component rather than a single failure mode. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Kia.
The control module judged the Throttle position (TP) behaviour implausible for the current operating conditions. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Land Rover.
The control module judged the Accelerator pedal position (APP) behaviour implausible for the current operating conditions. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Lexus.
The control module judged the Pedal Position 1 behaviour implausible for the current operating conditions. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by MINI.
The control module detected improper operation of the Throttle valve position motor. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Nissan.
Throttle valve position motor
The control module detected a fault associated with the Oxygen Sensor Heating circuit or function; the stored code identifies the affected component rather than a single failure mode. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Porsche.
The control module detected a fault associated with the Throttle Position Sensor Intermittent High Voltage circuit or function; the stored code identifies the affected component rather than a single failure mode. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Suzuki.
The control module judged the Accelerator pedal position (APP) behaviour implausible for the current operating conditions. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Toyota.
The control module detected a short circuit to ground in the Heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) 2, Bank 2 - heater circuit. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Audi.
