Note. If DTCs P0121, P0122 and P0123 are set together, diagnose DTC P0122 and DTC P0123 first.
Disconnect negative battery cable. Unplug TP sensor harness connector. Using an ohmmeter, measure resistance between specified terminals of TP sensor. See TP SENSOR RESISTANCE table. (Scheme 10) Adjust TP sensor if idle switch resistance is not as specified. Replace TP sensor if specified resistance cannot be obtained. If TP sensor resistance is okay, replace PCM. Retest system.
