Ford Focus Help

[Woodenhead]

Hi All,



My Fiances for Focus had the check engine light come on so she had the codes checked at Schucks. It came up with

"P0122 Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch A Circuit Low Input"



I would think this means the TPS is toast which should be easy enough to fix. Anyone know what the "Switch A Circuit Low Input" is all about.



I'd hate to have to take it to the dealer if it's something simple.



Thanks,

Mike

Dl5treez,



Thanks very much for the detailed reply. I had to hit the road right after I posted this so I didn't get a chance to check it out. It started doing goofy things like idling at 2000-2500 RPM and surging on the highway. Sooooo, she ended up having to go to the dealer :{ . Turned out to be something to do with the throttle body (that's as much as she could explain). Parts=$140, Labor = $160 (once again :{ ). Oh well, at least it's fixed and running fine.



Again, thanks for the info and I apologize for not re posting sooner (living on the run ).

Actually she really likes it. For a little car it has plenty of passenger space inside (front and back seats) and still has a decent size trunk. I'm actually comfortable sitting in the passenger seat and not crowded which is more than I can say for most other compact sedans.



This is the only problem she's had in 58,000 miles. I'm the last person you'd ever see buying a Ford and I wasn't impressed with the idea of her buying one but hey, it's her money. She's happy, I'm happy.



Thanks for your opinion though.



Mike
