Well looks like I've got a tps problem?

[ellner357]

Truck threw a P120 code throttle pedal / position sensor. No symptoms as of now. Is this just a simple sensor replacement? Or should I start to worry?

 

[zacattack20]

Try just cleaning the connectors with sensor cleaner. A couple years ago my truck shut off on me at a stop on the freeway and gave me that code. Started back up and finished driving to work and then back home. Took off the sensor and cleaned it, haven't had a problem since.

Ha ha ha ha no memo here.

I'll give cleaning it a try and see what happens thanks.

already been said, but yeah clean throttle body and sensor along w/ connectors. If that doesn't work try a new TPS

 

[ellner357]

Gave it a quick clean and short drive no cel anymore! Too easy. So thankful for the help and the blue tooth code reader I got lol!

 

[ellner357]

Damn light came back on. Guess I gotta find me a sensor.

bad throttle position sensor(tps)

my tps is faulty but the problem is toyota doesn't sell it! they want to sell a complete throttle body with the tps attached for $1400! mine is a four prong and the ones they and auto parts have have 3 prongs!
from my understanding, that tps, part #89452-35030, doesn't exist in their parts database. so what are we to do?

That's weird. I don't know where my recipt is. But I bought my tps for around 100. Try calling a parts store other then the dealer.

Like I said in your new thread ......

Dude what are you smoking and why is your text in all red comic sans.

Just use normal text lol.

Anyways I have already replaced my full throttle body and it didn't cost me $1400 lol. Whoever told you that is horrible. Don't go back there.

I bought a complete used Throttle Body with < 100k miles on it from a seller on ebay. The seller was not "just some guy" but actually a legit used parts distributor out of Texas. All the biggest wrecking yards are now selling via EBAY stores as a second store front. It was totally legit and they actually only do EBAY as a side-store.

The complete TB cost my about $125 or $150 (it was 2 years ago) and came with a complete 6 month return, no questions asked guarantee. I had it installed by my local Toyota guy for $120.
