Throttle Position Sensor/Switch "G" Circuit Range/Performance

This code means the PCM/ECM has detected a circuit performance problem affecting throttle position sensor/switch "g. Because airflow is used to calculate fueling, the engine may idle poorly, hesitate, or run with incorrect fuel trims until the fault is repaired.

Schedule a repair soon — this issue will worsen and may cause additional damage if ignored.

What You Might Notice

  • Check Engine Light illuminated
  • Rough idle
  • Hesitation on acceleration
  • Reduced fuel economy
  • Possible stalling

Most Common Causes

  1. 1

    Vacuum leak or air leak in the intake system

  2. 2

    Faulty throttle, MAF/MAP, or related airflow sensor

  3. 3

    Damaged wiring or poor connector contact

  4. 4

    Carbon buildup or sticking throttle body

  5. 5

    PCM/ECM fault

How to Diagnose It

  1. 1

    Check Vacuum leak or air leak in the intake systemInspect for signs of failure and test before replacing.

  2. 2

    Check Faulty throttle, MAF/MAP, or related airflow sensorInspect for signs of failure and test before replacing.

  3. 3

    Check Damaged wiring or poor connector contactInspect for signs of failure and test before replacing.

  4. 4

    Check Carbon buildup or sticking throttle bodyInspect for signs of failure and test before replacing.

  5. 5

    Check PCM/ECM faultInspect for signs of failure and test before replacing.

How to Fix It

  1. 1

    Inspect the intake tract for leaks or restrictions

  2. 2

    Clean and test the throttle body or airflow sensor

  3. 3

    Repair wiring or connector issues

  4. 4

    Replace the faulty sensor or actuator if testing confirms failure

  5. 5

    Clear the code and verify normal idle and throttle response
