P0221 - THROTTLE POSITION (TP2) SENSOR CIRCUIT RANGE/PERFORMANCE

Description:  The ETC TP2 sensor was flagged as fault status by the PCM indicating an out of range in either the closed or wide open throttle modes.

  • Damaged TP sensor.
  • SIG RTN circuit open to the TP sensor.
  • Self-test operator error (foot resting on the accelerator pedal during test).
