2007 Yukon XL - P01121 Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor A Circuit Range/Performance.

P0121 HYUNDAI - Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch 'A' Circuit Range/Performance

Possible causes - Faulty throttle position sensor - Throttle position sensor harness is open or shorted - Throttle position sensor circuit poor electrical connection - Faulty Engine Control Module (ECM) What does this mean? When is the code detected? Malfunction is detected when an excessively low or high voltage from the sensor is sent to ECM. Possible symptoms - Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light) P0121 Hyundai Description The throttle position sensor (TPS) responds to the accelerator pedal movement. This sensor is a kind of potentiometer which transforms the throttle position into output voltage, and emits the voltage signal to the Engine Control Module (ECM). In addition, the sensor detects the opening and closing speed of the throttle valve and feeds the voltage signal to the ECM. Idle position of the throttle valve is determined by the ECM receiving the signal from the throttle position sensor. This sensor controls engine operation such as fuel cut. On the other hand, the Wide open and closed throttle position switch, which is built into the throttle position sensor unit, is not used for engine control.

,try changing the throttle pedal switch/mechanism on the floor in the cabin

No messaage of reduced engine power ? Your vehicle has electronic throttle control . Has four position sensors , two are located in the gas pedal ,an two in the throttle body . The PCM uses these sensor to know how much to open the throttle plate ,allowing more air into the engine . How did you read this code an where did you read it's definition at ? This is not a code for your vehicle . Some time cheap code readers get them wrong .

If one of this position sensors is bad it will throw the PCM into a
Reduced Engine Power Mode
When the ECM detects a condition with the TAC system, the ECM may enter a reduced engine power mode. Reduced engine power may cause one or more of the following conditions:
• Acceleration limiting--The ECM will continue to use the accelerator pedal for throttle control; however, the vehicle acceleration is limited.
• Limited throttle mode--The ECM will continue to use the accelerator pedal for throttle control; however, the maximum throttle opening is limited.
• Throttle default mode--The ECM will turn off the throttle actuator motor and the throttle will return to the spring loaded default position.
• Forced idle mode--The ECM will perform the following actions:
- Limit engine speed to idle by positioning the throttle position, or by controlling the fuel and spark if the throttle is turned off.
- Ignore the accelerator pedal input.
• Engine shutdown mode--The ECM will disable fuel and de-energize the throttle actuator.

FIRST AND FORMOST do not listen to any advice the totally unqualified parts guys hand out at Autozone or any other free code reader parts store, they want to sell you parts and that is all.

P0222 VOLKSWAGEN - Throttle Pedal Position Sensor/Switch 'B' Circuit Low
Possible causes- Throttle position sensor harness is open or shorted
- Throttle position sensor poor electrical connection
- Faulty Throttle position sensor
When is the code detected?An excessively low voltage from the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) is sent to Engine Control Module (ECM).

P0121 VOLKSWAGEN - Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch 'A' Circuit Range/Performance
Possible causes- Faulty throttle position sensor
- Throttle position sensor harness is open or shorted
- Throttle position sensor circuit poor electrical connection
- Faulty Engine Control Module (ECM) When is the code detected?Malfunction is detected when an excessively low or high voltage from the sensor is sent to ECM.

Have the VW dealer complete the diagnosis on this.

P2138 is Throttle Pedal Position Sensor/ Switch D / E Voltage Correlation. Replace the Throttle Pedal Position Sensor/Switch.Remember to have the set code Cleared from the cars computer, this will turn off the check engine light and reset it. Good Luck and have a good XMASS.

P0121 Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch A Circuit Range/Performance Problem
that is a drive by wire system the gas pedal has a sensor rigt above it make sure the plug is all the way in or the sensor could have a glicth in it and would have to be replaced

there is no adjustment on these tps's it's a drive by wire system. If you don't know the vehicle, dont post!
there's 2 sensors contained in the pedal sensor, and one on the throttle plate shaft, more often than not, it's the pedal sensor, and if you replaced that, it's the other one or a loose connection. did you reset the computer after replacing the pedal?

P0121 Is a throttle/pedal position sensor/switch "A" circuit range/performance problem. P2544 torque management request input signal "A". U0101 lost communication with transmission control module. I hope these definitions help.
