* DTCs P0121 and P0221 are Type B DTCs.
* DTCs P0122, P0123, P0222, and P0223 are Type A DTCs.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
* DTCs P0121 and P0221 are Type B DTCs.
* DTCs P0122, P0123, P0222, and P0223 are Type A DTCs.
Diagnostic Aids
If there is a condition with the TP sensors the ECM defaults to reduced power mode for the entire ignition cycle, even if the condition is corrected.

Circuit/System Verification
1. Ignition ON, verify that DTC P0697, P0698, or P0699 is not set.
瀚慖f a DTC is set, refer to DTC P0641-P0643, P0651-P0653, or P0697-P0699 (ECM, LLT) ( See: P Code Charts/P0641).
2. Clear the DTC Info with a scan tool.
3. Start the engine, observe the scan tool Throttle Position Sensor 1 and 2 voltage parameters. TP sensor 1 should be between 0.17-4.6 V and
TP sensor 2 should be between 0.15-4.8 V.
4. Observe the scan tool Throttle Position sensor 1 and 2 parameters while performing the tests listed below. The parameter should display
Agree.
* Rapidly depress the accelerator pedal from the rest position to the wide open throttle position (WOT) and release pedal. Repeat the
procedure several times.
* Slowly depress the accelerator pedal to WOT and then slowly return the pedal to closed throttle. Repeat the procedure several times.
5. Observe the DTC Information with a scan tool. DTCs P0121, P0122, P0123, P0221, P0222, and P0223 should not set.
6. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC to verify the DTC does not reset. You may also operate the vehicle within the
conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.
Circuit/System Testing
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at throttle body.
2. Ignition OFF, remove the fuse that supplies B+ to terminal 56 X2 of the ECM.
Note: The control module or the sensor may be damaged if the circuit is shorted to battery positive voltage.
3. Test for less than 5 ohm between the low reference circuit terminal C and ground.
