P0222Throttle Position Sensor B — Circuit Low Input

Throttle Position Sensor B — Circuit Low Input

Definition

The ECM is reading an abnormally low voltage from throttle position sensor B. Since TPS B is the redundancy check for TPS A, a low signal here will cause the ECM to enter a protective reduced power mode.

Common Causes

  • Failed throttle position sensor B
  • Open signal wire between TPS B and ECM
  • Shorted ground in the TPS B circuit
  • Faulty electronic throttle body assembly
