DTC P0223

DTC P0223  : TP Sensor B Circuit High Voltage

DTC Description Confirmed DTC Pending DTC Freeze Frame
P0223 TP Sensor B Circuit High Voltage      

DTC (PGM-FI)

  1. Problem verification

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    - 2. Clear the DTC with the HDS.

    - 3. Check TP SENSOR B in the DATA LIST with the HDS.

    Signal Threshold Current conditions
    Values Unit Values Unit
    TP SENSOR B More than 4.8 V    

    Do the current condition(s) match the threshold?

    YES 

    The failure is duplicated. Go to step 2.

    NO 

    Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the throttle body and the PCM. If the freeze data/on-board snapshot of this DTC is recorded, try to reproduce the failure under the same conditions with the freeze data/on-board snapshot.

  2. Determine possible failure area (SG5 line, others)

    -1. Check for Pending or Confirmed DTCs with the HDS.

    DTC Description Confirmed DTC Pending DTC Freeze Frame
    P0123 TP Sensor A Circuit High Voltage      
    P0223 TP Sensor B Circuit High Voltage      

    Are DTC P0123 and P0223 indicated at the same time?

    YES 

    Go to step 5.

    NO 

    Go to step 3.

  3. Determine possible failure area (throttle body, others)

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    - 2. Disconnect the following connector.

    Throttle body 6P connector

    - 3. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    - 4. Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle ON mode
      Throttle body 6P connector: disconnected
    Test circuit THL2
    Test point 1 Throttle body 6P connector No. 4 (TAN)
    Test point 2 Body ground

    Is there about 5.0 V?

    YES 

    Replace the throttle body .

    NO 

    Go to step 4.

  4. Open wire check (THL2 line)

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    - 2. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.

    - 3. Disconnect the following connector.

    PCM connector B (51P) - Refer to: How to Troubleshoot the Brake Booster Pressure Monitoring System (2016 2017 2018 2019 2020), or How to Troubleshoot the Fuel and Emissions Systems(With Auto Idle Stop System) (2016), or How to Troubleshoot the Fuel and Emissions Systems, or How to Troubleshoot the A/T System (2014 2015)

    - 4. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
      Throttle body 6P connector: disconnected
      PCM connector B (51P): disconnected
    Test circuit THL2
    Test point 1 Throttle body 6P connector No. 4 (TAN)
    Test point 2 PCM connector B (51P) No. 40 (TAN)

    Is there continuity?

    YES 

    The THL2 wire is OK. Update the PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good PCM - Refer to: PCM Removal and Installation (2014 2015), or PCM Removal and Installation (2016) .

    NO 

    Repair an open in the THL2 wire between the PCM (B40) and the throttle body.

  5. Open wire check (SG5 line)

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    - 2. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.

    - 3. Disconnect the following connectors.

    PCM connector B (51P) - Refer to: How to Troubleshoot the Fuel and Emissions Systems, or How to Troubleshoot the A/T System (2014 2015), or How to Troubleshoot the Brake Booster Pressure Monitoring System (2016 2017 2018 2019 2020), or How to Troubleshoot the Fuel and Emissions Systems(With Auto Idle Stop System) (2016)
    Throttle body 6P connector

    - 4. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
      PCM connector B (51P): disconnected
      Throttle body 6P connector: disconnected
    Test circuit SG5
    Test point 1 Throttle body 6P connector No. 3 (GRN)
    Test point 2 PCM connector B (51P) No. 46 (GRN)
    GHH318918Courtesy of HONDA, U.S.A., INC.

    Is there continuity?

    YES 

    The SG5 wire is OK. Update the PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good PCM - Refer to: PCM Removal and Installation (2016), or PCM Removal and Installation (2014 2015) .

    NO 

    Repair an open in the SG5 wire between the PCM (B46) and the throttle body.
