OBD-II (EN): Throttle Position Sensor/Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor Circuit 1 Range/Performance

Code P1120 indicates a problem with the throttle position sensor (TPS) or the accelerator pedal position sensor – the engine control module detected a signal outside the allowable range. This can lead to power limitation, unstable engine operation, or limp mode. Causes vary depending on the vehicle manufacturer, so professional scanner diagnosis is recommended.

Symptoms

Check Engine Light (MIL) illumination Engine power limitation or entering limp mode Rough engine operation or running on reduced cylinders (noted in Opel: running on 3 cylinders) Problems with acceleration – delayed or no response to gas pedal Unstable idle speed Possible jerking while driving

Possible causes

Faulty or worn throttle position sensor (TPS) Faulty accelerator pedal position sensor (APP Sensor 1) Open or short circuit in the sensor wiring harness Corrosion or damage to the sensor electrical connector Faulty engine control module (PCM/ECU) – especially in Opel vehicles Incorrect sensor power supply or ground voltage Mechanical damage to the throttle body (dirt, sticking)
