Code No. P0223: Throttle Position Sensor (sub) Circuit High Input

OPERATION

• A power voltage of 5 V is applied to the elec-

tronic-controlled throttle valve connector terminal 
from the engine-ECU connector terminal TPS5.

• The power voltage is earthed to the engine-ECU 

connector terminal TPSE from the electronic-con-
trolled throttle valve connector terminal.

• The sensor signal is inputted to the engine-ECU 

connector terminal TPSS from the electronic-con-
trolled throttle valve output terminal.

FUNCTION

• The throttle position sensor converts the throttle 

valve position into voltage and inputs it into the 
engine-ECU.

ing angle.

tion sensor (sub) circuit or loose connector con-
tact
