SOURCE: 98 lexus gs300 codes p1120 p1121

I wanted to start a thread specifically about failures within the throttle body concerning the GS300 (1998 in my case)

My symptons were:
VSC, VSC OFF, and ENGINE Lights would come on, followed by my car going into Limp Mode, where only that last 25% (if that) of the throttle would respond (basically have to floor the pedal to even move at all).

During the mornings, or when the engine was COLD, the throttle operated normal...then once the car warmed up, usually at about 10 mins, the problem would start...it happened intermitantly at first...1 or 2 days over the course of a week, then it became more consitent, until last week it became a daily problem.

The first part I tried was the Throttle Position sensor, which is on the front side of the throttle body, and the easiest thing to replace...this didnt help at all. $300 part from Lexus, $80 part from RockAuto.com (exacly same part toyota OEM)

THE PART THAT FIXED THE PROBLEM:
===========================================
"Idle Valve Motor", which is the larger electrical object next to the TPS on my 98 GS300. Problem is solved.

The Codes I got were P1120 and P1121 - Accelerator Sensor problem. However it wasnt really the Accelerator Sensor, it was indeed to actual electrical Motor that controls the opening of the Butterfly valve inside the Throttle body.

I found the problem by good old trouble shooting, and using an ohm meter to see if the throttle electric motor was getting elev, I found that the elec motor just to the left of the TPS was basically freaking out and shutting down. The Accelerator Pedal Sensor is on the Back-side of the throttle body where the throttle cable connects to, and has a spring on it. It was fine.

GS300's are indeed "drive by wire" concerning the throttle...the cable triggers the Accel Pedal Sensor, which sends a signal to the ECU, the ECU then sends power to the Idel Valve Elec Motor (next to the TPS), which opens and closes the mechanical butterfly valve, then the TPS sensor detects how far the elec motor is actually opening the butterfly valve...its a closed-loop feed-back system, meaning any failure in any sensor will cause the entire systm to fail.

The throttle cable apparently is ONLY there to allow the fail-safe of having that last 10-25% throttle when the electronic system fails...there is a gearbox inside the throtle body which allows the tail end of the throttle to manually engage the butterfly valve...the rest of the time, the butterfly valve is 100% opened and closed via the idle control motor.

SOURCE: My nissan micra 2003, malfunction indicator light

OH YES !!!! u have to get ur car computer scanned right away. Theres surely a problem on the way, and before it gets worse, get it scanned and u will easily get to know what needs to be changed. So instead of changing 3-4 things when its gets worse, its better to change only the thing which is required right now.

DO IT RIGHT AWAY !!!

SOURCE: i have nissan micra K11 with light flasing code

From what I understand it is the Nissan Anti-theft System (NATS) correct ?
The other numbers you show do not correspond to any codes I can find.
The reason the car is not starting is because the Nissan keys MUST be programmed for that car.
Make sure you did not have a new key made and that if you did you have to program it.
Your owners manual will tell you how.
Please elt me know what you find.

Testimonial: "thanks for your help, the car need key porgramer."

2012 Nissan Micra 1.2 punch with K13 engine. How to reset manual ABS light please?

Question edited for clarity.

The proper way is with an OBDII scan tool computer. Also do the diagnostics WHY the ABS light is on?

How do i reset the abs light on nissan micra 2012

The proper way to reset the ABS light in Micra is by clearing the codes with an OBDII scanner. The difficulty is that the cause of the light could be either a bad wheel speed sensor, low brake fluid, a blown fuse, or a malfunctioning ABS module. If that problem is discerned and resolved, the light should automatically go out. If it doesn't, that is when the codes must be manually cleared by a scanner. That is the best information I have found.

A light mark check on my nissan micra keeping flashing. What does it mean? As well problem in the morning to start the car.

I would guess that would be check engine light. That means your vehicle is not running all systems properly. You should get a diagnostic to determine the cause.

Orange engine symbol on dash stays lit, what does this suggest. nissan micra

Your car is most likely obd2 compliant (in the US everycar built after 1996 is) this means your check engine light could be on for a whole list of reasons, You will need an obd2 scanner to plug into the diagnostics connector to read the codes. Many times car parts places will let you use theres, hoping to sell you parts when you know what needs to be fixed. If the use of free one is not available you can probably buy one off of ebay for not too much. Use the code scanner, write down the codes and google them and/or buy a haynes manual that will explain how to do all these things.
