P0223
P0223-THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR 2 CIRCUIT HIGH
For a complete wiring diagram, refer to the Wiring Information.
The Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) system uses two Throttle Position Sensors (TPS) to monitor the throttle blade position. The TPS sensors 1 and 2 are located within the throttle body assembly. Each sensor has a 5 Volt reference circuit, a low reference circuit and a signal circuit. Processors are also used to monitor the ETC system data. The processors are located within the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). Each signal circuit provides the processors with a signal voltage proportional to throttle blade movement. The processors share and monitor data to verify that the indicated TPS calculation is correct.
- When Monitored:
With the ignition on and battery voltage greater than 10.4 volts.
- Set Condition:
Throttle Position Sensor No.2 Signal circuit voltage is greater than 4.9 Volts for 25 ms. One Trip Fault. ETC light will illuminate.
