DTC P0123: Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor A Circuit High

P0123 - THROTTLE/PEDAL POSITION SENSOR A CIRCUIT HIGH

For Vehicles With An Idle Air Control (IAC) Valve
Description:	The throttle position (TP) sensor circuit is monitored by the powertrain control module (PCM) for a high TP rotation angle (or voltage) input through the comprehensive component monitor (CCM). The test fails if the TP rotation angle (or voltage) changes above the maximum calibrated limit.
Possible Causes:	TP sensor not seated correctly TP sensor harness short to voltage TP sensor harness short to VREF SIGRTN circuit open to the TP sensor Damaged TP sensor
Diagnostic Aids:	A TP PID reading greater than 93% (4.65 volts) in ignition ON, engine OFF or ignition ON, engine running indicates a concern is present.
For All Others
Description:	The electronic throttle control (ETC) throttle position (TP) sensor 1 circuit was flagged as a concern by the powertrain control module (PCM) indicating a high voltage.
Possible Causes:	TP sensor harness short to voltage TP sensor harness short to VREF ETCRTN circuit open Damaged TP sensor
Diagnostic Aids:	This concern exhibits a symptom of limited power. A TP1 PID reading greater than 4.75 volts in ignition ON, engine OFF or ignition ON, engine running indicates a concern is present.
