P1124 - Throttle Position (TP) Sensor Out Of Self-Test Range

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 30 other vehicles, including the 2004 Mercury Sable, 2004 Mercury Mountaineer, 2004 Mercury Monterey, 2004 Mercury Marauder, and 2004 Mercury Grand Marquis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
P1124 - THROTTLE POSITION (TP) SENSOR OUT OF SELF-TEST RANGE

Description:  The TP sensor circuit is monitored by the PCM for an out of range TP rotation angle (or voltage) input. If during key ON, engine OFF or key ON, engine running the TP rotation angle (or voltage) reading is less than 13.27% (0.66 volt) or greater than 23.52% (1.17 volts), the test fails.
Possible Causes: 
  • Binding or bent throttle linkage.
  • TP sensor not seated properly.
  • Throttle plate below closed throttle position.
  • Throttle plate/screw misadjusted.
  • Damaged TP sensor.
  • Damaged PCM.
Diagnostic Aids:  The TP PID (TP V PID) reading not between 13.27 and 23.52% (0.66 and 1.17 volts) in key ON, engine OFF or key ON, engine running indicates a hard fault.
