Circuit Description
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2004 Oldsmobile Bravada, 2004 GMC Envoy XUV, 2004 GMC Envoy XL, 2004 GMC Envoy, and 2004 Chevrolet TrailBlazer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The throttle position (TP) sensors 1 and 2 are located within the throttle body assembly. Each sensor has the following circuits:
- A 5-volt reference circuit
- A low reference circuit
- A signal circuit
This provides the powertrain control module (PCM) with a signal voltage proportional to the throttle plate movement. The TP sensor 1 signal voltage at closed throttle is near the 5-volt reference circuit and decreases as the throttle plate is opened. The TP sensor 2 signal voltage at closed throttle is near the low reference circuit and increases as the throttle plate is opened. If the PCM detects that the TP sensor 1 signal voltage is more than the predicted range, DTC P0123 sets.
