P1124 - Throttle Position Sensor A Out Of Self-Test Range

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 32 other vehicles, including the 2007 Mercury Mountaineer, 2007 Mercury Monterey, 2007 Mercury Montego, 2007 Mercury Milan, and 2007 Mercury Mariner.

P1124 - THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR A OUT OF SELF-TEST RANGE

Description:  The throttle position (TP) sensor circuit is monitored by the powertrain control module (PCM) for an out of range TP rotation angle or voltage input. The test fails if the TP rotation angle or voltage reading is less than 13.27% (0.66 volt) or greater than 23.52% (1.17 volts).
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
Diagnostic Aids:  The TP PID reading not between 13.27-23.52% (0.66-1.17 volts) in key ON, engine OFF or key ON, engine running indicates a concern is present.
