Code 21: TPS Circuit (Signal Volt High): Notes
NOTE:
Test numbers refer to test numbers on diagnostic chart.
- Code 21 will set if TPS signal voltage is greater than 2.5 volts, vacuum is greater than 15 in. Hg and all conditions are met for 8 seconds.
- With TPS sensor disconnected, if the ECM and wiring are okay, TPS voltage should drop.
- Using a test light connected to 12 volts, probe sensor ground circuit No. 452. This checks 5-volt return circuit. If there is a faulty 5-volt return, Code 21 will set.
