What does the OBD fault code p0220 mean?

What Does Code P0220 Mean? OBD II fault code is defined as “Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch B Circuit Malfunction”, and set when the PCM (Powertrain Control Module) detects a signal voltage from the TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) that does not correlate with the current engine speed.

When does the throttle position sensor 2 ( B ) go bad?

There are several symptoms, when the Throttle Position Sensor 2 (B) goes bad, that you’re gonna’ see/feel. These are: Check engine light (CEL) will be shining nice and bright to let you know that there’s a problem. P0220: Throttle Position (TP) Sensor 2 (B) Malfunction. Lack of power when accelerating the engine.

What does the ECM do for a p0220 code?

The ECM judges the current opening angle of the throttle valve from these signals and the ECM controls the throttle control motor to make the throttle valve opening angle properly in response to driving condition. Need more information on how to fix the P0220 code?

What causes a p0220 TPS B circuit malfunction?

Possibly starts and stalls Potential causes of the P0220 code include: Sticking throttle return spring MAP or TPS connector corrosion Misrouted harness causing chafing If you have access to a scan tool, with KOEO (Key on engine off) observe the TPS voltage.

Do you need to replace the throttle sensor on a p0220?

A common mistake when diagnosing the P0220 would be to replace the throttle position sensor, the pedal position sensor, or both since these parts are mentioned in the actual definition. This can often times lead to a misdiagnosis. Just because a part is mentioned in a trouble code definition does not mean that that is the part causing the problem.

What happens when TP sensor 2 goes bad?

When TP Sensor 2 goes bad, it’ll usually set a P0220: Throttle Position (TP) Sensor 2 Malfunction diagnostic trouble code. In case you’re wondering where the heck TP Sensor 2 is at, it’s inside and part of the Throttle Actuator Control (TAC) Throttle Body. In layman’s terms, TP Sensor 2 (B) is inside the Electronic Trottle Body.
