DTC P1121: Throttle Position (TP) Sensor Inconsistent with the Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
P1121 - THROTTLE POSITION (TP) SENSOR INCONSISTENT WITH MASS AIR FLOW (MAF) SENSOR

Description:  The powertrain control module (PCM) monitors a vehicle operation rationality check by comparing sensed throttle position to mass airflow readings. If, during a key on engine running (KOER) self-test, the comparison of the TP sensor and MAF sensor readings are not consistent with the calibrated load values, the test fails and a DTC is stored in continuous memory.
Possible Causes: 
  • Air leak between the MAF sensor and throttle body
  • TP sensor not seated properly
  • Damaged TP sensor
  • Damaged MAF sensor
Diagnostic Aids:  Drive the vehicle and exercise the throttle and the TP sensor in all gears. A TP PID (TP V PID) less than 4.82% (0.24 volt) with a LOAD PID greater than 55%, or a TP PID (TP V PID) greater than 49.05% (2.44 volts) with a LOAD PID less than 30%, indicates a hard fault.
