DTC P1125: Throttle Position Sensor A Intermittent

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 30 other vehicles, including the 2006 Mercury Mountaineer, 2006 Mercury Monterey, 2006 Mercury Montego, 2006 Mercury Mariner, and 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
P1125 - THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR A INTERMITTENT

Description:  The throttle position (TP) sensor circuit is monitored by the powertrain control module (PCM) for sudden TP rotation angle or voltage input change through the comprehensive component monitor (CCM). If during the last 80 warm-up cycles in key ON, engine running the PCM detects TP rotation angle or voltage changes beyond the minimum or maximum calibrated limit, a continuous DTC is stored.
Possible Causes: 
  • Poor continuity through the TP sensor connectors
  • Poor continuity through the TP harness
  • Intermittent open or short inside the TP sensor
Diagnostic Aids:  While accessing the TP V PID on the diagnostic tool, lightly tap on the TP sensor or wiggle the TP sensor connector and harness. If the TP V PID suddenly changes below 0.49 volt or above 4.65 volts, an intermittent concern is present.
