P0124 GMC Throttle Position Sensor/Accelerator Position Pedal Circuit Intermittent

P0124 GMC Throttle Position Sensor/Accelerator Position Pedal Circuit Intermittent

Possible causes

– Faulty throttle position sensor.
– Throttle position sensor harness is open or shorted
– Throttle position sensor circuit poor electrical connection

What about the obd code?

The P0124 GMC code will set if the monitored TPS has an open or short circuit condition

Symptoms

– Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)

P0124 GMC Description

The Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) responds to the accelerator pedal movement. This sensor is a kind of potentiometer which transforms the throttle position into output voltage, and emits the voltage signal to the Engine Control Module (ECM). In addition, the sensor detects the opening and closing speed of the throttle valve and feeds the voltage signal to the ECM.

Idle position of the throttle valve is determined by the ECM receiving the signal from the throttle position sensor. This sensor controls engine operation such as fuel cut. On the other hand, the Wide open and closed throttle position switch, which is built into the throttle position sensor unit, is not used for engine control.
