Help! P0122

[HickMiller]

Hey all. So I have an 01 24 valve. I just replaced the tps and took it out. Made it less then a quarter mile and it went tits up. Started throwing the tps low code. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

 

[KATOOM]

There is no TPS but rather an APPS. What was wrong with the original one and what did you replace it with?

 

[HickMiller]

Apps. Sorry. I lost throttle and replaced it with OEM part

 

[KATOOM]

The OEM APPS's are not usually a problem. Some people will try to adjust their TIMBO APPS which is not recommended. Did you buy an OEM replacement at the parts store? If so then you'll probably want to return it and try another one.

 

[HickMiller]

Yes OEM from parts store. Got a new one will put it in and try it. Will post result

Update. TPS did not fix. I put code reader on and I’m getting p0122 ( intake air low), p0117(engine coolant temp circuit low), p0122, p0237(turbo boost pressure circuit low), p0606 (internal control processor).

At this point I would highly suggest you start investigating ALL major electrical connections, cables, and grounds for tightness and corrosion. Check all major electrical connections on the truck for moisture and corrosion and when you take them apart reconnect with dielectric grease. Then check both batteries for condition by disconnecting them from each other and the truck and check their static voltage after sitting for a couple hours. They both should read exactly the same voltage, which would be around 12.5 - 12.6 if they're charged. Anything less and you'll want to replace them both with the same type, size, and brand.

Point is, it sounds like you're dealing with an electronic anomaly which can be common for these trucks because they're very sensitive to voltage/amperage levels and AC voltage feedback from alternator diodes/rectifier.

KATOOM is correct.
ALL vehicles that have a computer in them are highly sensitive to any voltage changes, to low or to high. Sensors &/or computers can have a reference voltage of 0.5 VDC. So any floating or bad grounds plays havoc with the computer. Do some research on what are the parameters that causes the computer to throw the code(s). Look for a common link to them.
