СИСТЕМА ECD, Diagnostic DTC:P0122, P0123

DTC Code DTC Name
P0122 Throttle / Pedal Position Sensor / Switch "A" Circuit Low Input
P0123 Throttle / Pedal Position Sensor / Switch "A" Circuit High Input

DESCRIPTION

The throttle position sensor is mounted on the diesel throttle body and detects the opening angle of the throttle valve. This sensor is an electronic sensor and uses Hall-effect elements.

When the throttle valve is fully closed, a voltage of approximately 0.7 V is applied to terminal VLU of the ECM. The voltage applied to terminal VLU of the ECM increases in proportion to the opening angle of the throttle valve and becomes approximately 3.5 to 4.0 V when the throttle valve is fully opened.

This data is used for EGR control, etc.

Tip:
  • Throttle Sensor Volt %: Throttle position sensor output voltage is converted using 5 V = 100%.

  • When fully closed: 14% or less.

  • When fully open: 70% or higher.

  • When the ignition switch is turned from off to ON, the throttle valve fully opens once.

  • When the ignition switch is turned from ON to off, the throttle valve fully closes once.

  • If DTC P0122 and/or P0123 is stored, the following symptoms may appear:

    • Intake booming noise

    • Black smoke

    • Lack of power

    • Vibration at engine stop

    • Turbo overspeed, turbo damage

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

When the output voltage of the throttle position sensor deviates from the normal operating range (between 0.2 V and 4.8 V) for more than 3 seconds, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction of the sensor circuit and illuminates the MIL.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note:

After replacing the ECM, the new ECM needs registration (Click here) and initialization (Click hereНажмите здесь).

Tip:

Read freeze frame data using the GTS. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

PROCEDURE

  1. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR - ECM)

    1. Disconnect the diesel throttle body assembly connector.

    2. Disconnect the ECM connector.

    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      B25-5 (VC) - B164-97 (VCVL) Always Below 1 Ω
      B25-6 (VTA) - B164-119 (VLU) Always Below 1 Ω
      B25-3 (E2) - B164-96 (EVLU) Always Below 1 Ω
      B25-5 (VC) or B164-97 (VCVL) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      B25-6 (VTA) or B164-119 (VLU) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      B25-3 (E2) or B164-96 (EVLU) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
