THrottle position sensor

Hey guys I had just replaced my tps/ pedal position sensor and I keep getting the ses code for the sensor what can it be ?

are you saying the code went away after you replaced it, and now its back on?

or it has been on the whole time?... how long has it been on?

maybe unplug your battery for 1/2 hour.... kinda resets the PCM. Just don't beat on your car while driving after "reboot"..... the PCM has to re-learn a bunch of parameters.

not sure if that would help...?

Could be a bad ground, bad 5Vref, bad pcm, bad wire.

i replaced it and it just came back on and ill check the wires and i tried unpluging the battery for about an hour to let it "reset"

Use a scanner to see if its sending out a signal... Then with the car off make sure it reads all the way up to 100 and comes back to rest at 0%

i had a vac leak cause a TPS code.. my rubber t under the snout of S/C came completely off. i replaced TPS 3 times before i figured it out it was a vac leak.

I'm kicking myself should have come here first....my car was running like garbage scanned it and got a few codes and I figured that it was the MAF sensor...had a TPS code too.....so of course I figured it was the maf...so got a new one of those...seemed to be running better but would still die after idling for a few seconds....checked on here saw that post....so figured before I buy more stuff I should check the stupid stuff first....and sure enough the T had a split in it that had caused it to fall off from the intake manifold.....so yea lesson learned check the dumb stuff first....

Good looking out I was about to set my car on fire.
