SYMPTOMS OF A FAILING AND BAD TPS SENSOR (THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR) P0120 P0121 P0122 P0123 P0124

In this video I explain how a TPS SENSOR (Throttle Position Sensor) works, why it fails and all the possibilities symptoms and problems you experience. You may also get P0120, P0121, P0122, P0123, P0124 codes. When replacing the TPS, it may need to be recalibrate or reset.

Thank you for a comprehensive explanation of the TPS. The symptoms you describe are exactly what I've been experiencing with a Subaru ej2.5 in a VW.

[@volkovkee9485]

Great stuff bro, a very detailed and understandable explanation given

[@ionutvercocilenco7873]

Pure gold,tank you!

[@danisa330]

Awesome explanation,,, I didn't know TPS has multitude of duties😮

[@Killedby-Monty]

I think this is my issue because my truck only turns on when I tap the gas pedal a few times and it’ll stay on but it sounds funny like it wants to cut off and my truck shakes bad when I’m at a rest position in the truck and it’ll kinda jump a little when I hit the brakes or switching gears and sometimes the truck will turn off. Also I’ve noticed when I crank the ac all the way up the truck sounds a lot more stable and dosnt sound like it wants to cut off as much but when ever it’s off or on the lowest air setting it’ll sound weak and idles like it wants to cut off also I’ve replaced my control idle air control valve sensor and the MAP sensor and it still does the rough idle and turns off, could it be the throttle position sensor because I’ve never replaced it ?

[@That1LogisticDude]

Question for you. Is that for ever vehicle or would that be the case for a Detroit 60series engine ?

[@johnjacobramosjimenea6981]

Best explanation I have heard

Thank you

I have a 1999 BMW 323i and need to replace TPS but I can't locate it. Could you please help with this. I'm a woman and I try to take care of my vehicles myself. I just can't locate this sensor.

[@Top5AutoRepairs]

Hello. The TPS is located on the throttle body. It is between the intake manifold and air filter inlet tube / air filter box.

Great Job as usual, have a Great Cinco de mayo "👍

[@tahseenali2149]

thank you sir

[@joshuaricks7882]

Do you have to re-learn the TPS ? I have an 01 dodge Ram that needs a TPS, not sure if I had to program it

[@tyronewalker5764]

Well done sir, this could be the reason why I''m having rough idle at at stop. But there are to error codes.

[@SIR-BOAZ]

I have a 03 Ducati Monster 800 and it jerks at 5-6k rpm and will not exceed 6k rpm, do you think it could be a faulty tps?

[@darreltolentino3526]

Do full electronic throttle body have TPS? Are they integrated in the throttle body?

[@Top5AutoRepairs]

Yes

[@Leewanbeatz]

Respct bro love from Jamaica 🇯🇲

[@bobadingo]

So why does my Ford truck run really good without a throttle position sensor connected??.. .

[@natoshacasey8544]

Is it possible that the tps sensor was the issue since the truck runs correctly now that it has been disconnected?

[@itachi6352]

Help, civic 1.8 gen 8, when comming to a stop or a random shifting from any gear into neutral while driving makes my car stall.. lets say im driving 70kmh in 4th at 3000rpm, when i put it in neutral, cars rpm go down to almost 0 and car stalls. Or while lets say driving at 30kmh in 2nd and comming to a stop sign and shifting into neutral, car also stalls.. 🙄 🤔. Clean tb, valves adjusted properly, good coils, good sparks, working maf, relearn procedure done. Whats left is idk if i can test the tps and the o2 sensor and need to check for vacuum leaks but i highly doubt that. And the car also jolts/sputters in idle and while driving at around 3000rpm.. shakes randomly similar like a misfire

[@CommonSenseTipsAndTricks]

My check engine light blinks after about 30 mph. But my worse system is my transmission does not shift right. It acts like it's slipping from first to second. But when I hit the gas hard I can overcome it. Yes I do get surges in RPMs with loss of power!

[@pulidskie8826]

Hello sir I have Honda civic 2002 crank but no start.I change cylinder head,fuel pump crankshaft sensor,valve,and ECU. Still no start pls. Help thank you

[@Top5AutoRepairs]

Check main relay

[@kuripotech461]

Thank you for that very clear information. I have a question. For the scannning, does it necessarily have to appear on the dashboard or are there times there is no error codes present?

[@olusesanfesobi5219]

I recently found this Channel. I love the way you explain technical stuff. I'm definitely liking and subscribing. 🎉🎉🎉

[@michaelthomas3476]

Thanks for this video. My 2003 Range Rover hse gave error codes P0120 & P0221. your video explained in detail what occurs..

[@michaelzimmerman2042]

Very good video for overview of TPS. However, I have a question…how would I test my TPS functionality if the engine won’t start?

[@Top5AutoRepairs]

Key on engine off to test the TPS

[@AnythingEverythingGh]

Please help; at WOT (KOEO) my tps sensor signal wire reads 2.15volts instead of 4.7-5volts. Any guidlines to things I need to check ?

[@AlexisRodriguez-it1xw]

Make sure your battery is 100% charged
