Circuit/System Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Buick LaCrosse and 2008 Buick Allure. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The throttle body assembly contains the following components:
- The throttle blade
- The throttle actuator motor
- The throttle position (TP) sensor 1 and 2
- The throttle actuator control (TAC) module
The TAC system monitors the throttle position with 2 sensors. If the powertrain control module (PCM) receives a message from the TAC module that indicates TP sensor 1 voltage is outside a predetermined range, DTC P0120 will set.
