DTC 7: Throttle Position (TP) Sensor (Part 2 Of 2):

The throttle angle sensor is a potentiometer. It is connected to the primary throttle valve shaft. As the throttle angle changes, the throttle angle sensor varies the voltage signal to the ECU.

The Check Engine warning light may come on, indicating a system problem, when, in fact, there is a poor or intermittent electrical connection. First, check the electrical connections, clean or repair connections if necessary.
