Video Summary
Here is the summary of the video:- The throttle body controls the flow of air into the engine, which impacts fuel consumption.
- The ECM (Engine Control Module) uses information from sensors to regulate the engine's performance.
- The TPS sensor (Throttle Position Sensor) measures how much the driver is pressing the accelerator pedal and sends this information to the computer.
- The TPS sensor is part of a system which involves Accelerator Pedal Position (APPS) sensor and the Throttle Actuator Control (TAC).
- General damage is often caused by the wear of the moving parts of the TPS, the breaking down, or a malfunction of the motor.
- Common codes appear due to a system defect, such as P0120 - P0124, P0220 - P0229, P2121 - P2128, and P2130 - P2139.
- The video recommends cleaning the throttle body every 20,000 kilometers using a special cleaner.
- Symptoms of throttle body failure include the engine check light coming on, throttle angle or engine, gear changes, higher/lower engine revs, or instability of the engine.
- To resolve the issue, reset the throttle and follow the steps on the car computer.
