Accent LC (2000-05) :: How To Reset A Throttle Position Sensor
I was reading the car's settings using the Torque app and an OBDII bluetooth dongle and I realize that at WOT the ECU is only seeing 85% from the TPS. O know on some vehicles there is an actual procedure like turn the key forward, hold the gas pedal at WOT, turn the key all the way forward w/o starting while pulling the turn signal stalk down or something crazy like that to force the ECU to re-measure while you keep the gas pedal pinned to the floor. I know on other cars when it doesn't read a full 100% you miss out on a small amount of power and MPG so if it's an easy procedure with these cars I'd like to reset it. I did some searching but mostly came up with info on how to replace it and a few related subjects but noting on this specifically for this car specifically.
View 2 RepliesTouareg :: How To Do The Throttle Reset
So what am I doing wrong, if anything? I followed TREKKing inCO's directions how to do the throttle reset, except I forgot to take out the key when restarting and not sure if that makes any difference. But when I went to restart, the brake pedal cannot be pushed down until the car starts. I almost thought it was stuck. This happens every time I do the reset procedure, which is 3X so far.
(I just had the upgrade LOJACK done and I thought the tech messed up something in the electronics now. Hope it's my imagination. My son is test driving right now for me.....bad move on my part.)
Tiguan :: EPC Light Came On - APR Fault Reset / Throttle Alignment?
I was driving my Tiguan and began to roll on the throttle and the check engine light started flashing. Running in 93 mode, I thought. But I did just run out a tank of 100 and did I forget to switch the program? I usually only drive this car on the weekends so its possible.
Now the EPC light came on and I cannot seem to clear the error. I've held the resume button and the check engine light has flashed once, then twice, letting go when the respected command is reached.
Am I missing something? Or did I indeed possibly grenade this thing? When I say roll in to throttle, I mean I was just starting to spool the turbo. By no means was I hard on it......yet....
Ford F-150 (2009-2014) :: 2013 - Reset Throttle Response
Resetting Throttle Response. I came across this video, bored and just playing around, and tried it on my 2013.......and it works! Turn the ignition key to the run position, then slowly press the accelerator pedal to the floor. Then let the pedal up fast, then turn the ignition off. Do this 3 times, and on the last time, also turn the ignition off. I was amazed that that the lagging pedal response was almost completely gone!

My friend bought two new tires for her car, and had all the wheels rotated. When she went to the toyota, they said they need $100 bucks, just to reset my TPMS sensor.. which is something so simple. There are few videos on YouTube that details how to reset the TPMS sensor...
So I followed all the steps. I bought a tire pressure sensor (*a nice digital one), I put air in the tires (30 on all 4), i put the car ignition on ON, put the parking brakes on, and pressed the TPMS switch, saw the three blinks,.. and I thought it would stop coming after that... But Nope. It started right back on and started blinking.
Now I am not sure what to do? Car is a 2007 Camry.

Replacing the tps themselves? Is it something a newbie at diy car stuff can do? I'm getting codes P2016, P1295 and P161B, and I see no problem with the car except one thing, when the engine is cold the shift from P to D is rough. Is the tps causing this?
View 9 RepliesGolf IV R32 :: Throttle Position Sensor Code P0222
2004 VW R32, No engine mods. I did have the vacuum line sealed off for the flapper mod for about 3 months but is is now back to normal.
I've got the MIL, ESP, and EPC lights on and scanning codes as follows:
Code-P0222
Definition:
- Throttle pedal position (TPP) sensor/switch "B"
- Circuit Low
Explanation:
- Open or short circuit condition
Probable Cause:
- Poor Electrical Connection
- Faulty TPP sensor
- Faulty throttle valve control module
I don't know much about the situation but I took it to my friends shop first where we replaced the Throttle body, intake, and MAF. Didn't fix the problem so I took it to my local VW dealership and the tech's exact words were.."the codes coming up as a throttle pedal sensor. Is there perhaps a sensor by the pedal that I could check?
Golf IV R32 :: EPC And Throttle Position Sensor Code / Turning Left And Right
Am getting an EPC light + limp mode + code for accelerator position sensor (implausible signal). I have swapped out the pedal assembly, so it isn't the sensors themselves, and we've checked the wiring to the pedal assembly... I can feel in-car, and I can see via VAG-COM that one of the two sensors is basically toggling between a sensible % reading of pedal position at one moment, and then zero % the next, and of course every time the sensor reads zero, the ECU notes the error and cuts power... but this only happens when the steering wheel is straight or when turning to the right; I can drive around in a leftward circle all day and night without this occurring.
Why? What is there in the steering (either in the column or at the wheels, or basically any place in between) which, if malfunctioning, could affect the accelerator position sensors in one way or another (i.e. either through the normal operation of a safety system, or through a short or other electrical gremlin)?
Santa FE SM (2001-06) :: 2004 3.5l Throttle Position Sensor Replacement
I have searched and have not found any information on replacing the throttle position sensor. My Santa Fe was running normal. I changed my tp sensor and how it limps along. When I loosened the old TPS, not even removed it, I heard a noise inside the TPS. When I replaced it I adjusted the TPS to read between 9 and 10% on my reader. But when I push on the gas pedal with the key on position the percentage doesn't move. Also when I drive it now it limps along and does not accelerate.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: 2001 - Computer Failing Or Throttle Sensor?
2001 1.8T Wolfsburg
Started it this evening and went to the store, on my way there the car was right messed up. No lights, wouldn't go over 500 rpm (no throttle response), eventually was stuck on the side of the road. Reset my throttle back to OEM and everything went back to normal, car hasn't shown any trouble since but it's only been a couple hours. I don't want to end up stranded somewhere so I'm wondering if my computer is possibly failing or should I try replacing the throttle body if it does it again?
Car is not chipped and was OEM throttle before (to my knowledge).
Camry :: Throttle Body Sensor Making Grinding Noise?
Its a 2006 Toyota Camry 2.4l.. its been sitting for about 4 weeks now which has given me and her some personal time...I cant get it to run without me covering the intake hole. Last night my girlfriend and I were tinkering with it... before I sprayed carb cleaner and sealed the hole off with my hand she pressed the gas and I heard a grinding noise. So I told her to pump the gas with the ignition on and the gas peddles and the grinding noise was synchronized in timing. I turn the ignition off and press gas nothing... I'm guessing that's because its a fuel injected vehicle and everything is electronic (ECM) also I noticed when you cycle key from on to off it makes that noise also... won't start and I need my car.

Oldsmobile - Intrigue :: 2001 - Replaced Throttle Position Sensor Overheating?
my old lady has a 2001 olds intrigue with the 3.5L in it. Sunday evening we replaced the Throttle Position Sensor and the Coolant Temp Sensor. Monday she was on her way back to Iowa and the tempature gauge spiked up to the Hot area. I looked it over and could not find anything wrong. I sent her on her way and she made it about a mile before it did it again. The car will spike up to the hot area but the motor shows no signs of over heating. I checked the temps with a heat gun while the car is idling and read out Thermostat housing-160, Rad-80, Rad hose-130, and coolant 170. I than ran the car up so it shows on the gauge its hot and than checked again, it than reads Thermostat housing-172, Rad-100, Rad hose-134, and coolant 184. If I am running it at 1500 rpms it will spike up but once i take it up to 2500 rpms it drops back down to normal on the gauge. I am lost for what it could be.
