Hi there:
Other than a bad connection / chaffed wire etc - which can happen - so be sure all is ok there - then the problem is going to be a faulty TPS ... throttle position sensor / switch..

This isn't unusual to happen / go wrong on these - No amount of re learn procedures will cure a faulty one Im afraid - so its a new one that is needed to cure these issues that you have with this one.

The TPS ( sensor ) is at the pedal on this one.... and its this that Im referring too. This can be checked using diagnostic equipment - using live data - it can be checked to see f its working and when its not etc.

Not all garages would be able to do this depending on what equipment they have and their level of knowledge - but I would suggest it would be a good idea to have it checked out as above to confirm the fault ..

You have the TCU - Throttle control unit - but thats inside and a part of the TPM - Throttle position motor ...on the engine.

Your fault codes though would indicate the TPS - at the pedal.


There is also a common fault on these that causes throttle / power loss... Im not so sure this fits the symptoms you describe but it might be worth a consideration... For this - a reprogram / software update has to be performed by either a Fiat dealer - or some garage that has the equipment to do that ....It might be worth you having a word with the local Fiat dealers to have that side of things done in any case - again - as its a common fault.



Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I`ll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.

Thank you for using FixYa, have a nice day.

SOURCE: where is MAF sensor on 1994 isuzu rodeo Runs rough

The sensor should be right there where the intake air duct meets the air filter housing.
That oil down in the spark plug tube is most likely from a leaking valve gover gasket. Oil in there can and will cause misfires.

2004 isuzu rodeo codes P1125, P1295 and P1515 what do they mean ?

no engine stated.
answering for usa rodeo. only. on a usa forum.
it means trouble; the factory manual covers this.
As does mitchells DIY online, read that much>?
those are called DTCs , scan codes. diagnostic trouble codes.
The PCM looks for problems all the time running,
CALLED MONITORS (a sort of nanny)
all cars do this 96 to now, in USA. by law.
If no book or no mitchells try google (or the like)
if you had you'd have seen isuzu examples.

but google finds this in 1 click.

the great justanswersl.com (ASE Techs)?
1125
1295
1515
DTC P1125: ELECTRIC THROTTLE CONTROL (ETC) LIMIT PERFORMANCE MODE.
2nd hit.,
P1125 Isuzu Electronic Throttle Control Limit Performance Mode P1221 Isuzu Throttle Position Sensor 1-2 Circuit Performance P1295 Isuzu Electronic Throttle Control Power Management Mode P1515 Isuzu TP Sensor To MAF Sensor Correlation


the first hit said, bad grounds top engine to PCM
and bad harness wires to above same place.
but as all techs, no, bad wires, happen all the time.
as do vast other reasons.
what I do , as the FSM states, clearly
is pick one failure and correct it, and sometimes gets them all.
like blown fuses do, on all vehicles.

1125 means limphome, is in force Low power too.
the TPS is acting up.
the 1515 means in English
that the Throttle angle and air flow dO NOT JIBE.
my jeep books calls that "incongruity": (nicer word)
or they differ. and should not.
i'd be checking the TPS voltages. for correct voltage.
this can fail for wires, rust, and bad sensors.
the word performance means it reads funny. (wrong)


we use a real scan tool and a real volt meter to see what the readings are on these parts.
why not get a real ASE tech to find it.
they know all that electronics magic,
ALL learn that there can be false codes.
one failure can trip many codes, but only one is the fundamental code.

or vacuum leaks cause many errors but not one
states vacuum leaks.
see?

Where is the Throttle Position Sensor on a 2001 Izuzu Rodeo 2.2 4 cyl automatic

As the name implies, the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS)
would have to be on the throttle

Specifically--- the throttle body

I will hope you can follow the ducting to the
intake manifold & remove the ducting ,to expose the throttle
body

The TPS Sensor will be on the side & does not get
replaced as the result of any codes

You need to component test it

That involves back probing with a volt meter at
the very least & better yet an oscilloscope

That applies to all codes & all sensors

You can have other problems than a failed sensor,
& still get a sensor code,thus component testing

To remove the sensor you may need a hair drier to
soften the lock tight on the screws
Also you may need a T20 Torx or other tool to remove
the screws
Then you may have to remove & tunr the throttle body
to access the screws

I'am not familiar with your vehicle,so you got all the
possible generic possibilites

P1220 series throttle control system malfunction

Hi there:
DTC P1220 - Throttle Position (TP) Sensor 2 Circuit

This code indicate a open circuit on the throttle sensor, maybe an idea to wire the sensor direct to ECU, bypass harness and any problems it might have; if it works you then know your problem is in the harness.



Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I`ll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.

What part is needed on an 03' Rodeo that trouble

P1290 = Elec Throt Control Particulate Bank 1 Idle, This means you could have a problem with your throttle body. You will need to monitor your tps sweep on a scan tool to check for spikes. Sometimes this code is set when the battery is disconnected and resets adaptations.

If it keeps coming back, you most likely have a bad TPS sensor.

I hope helped with this (remember rated this help). Good luck.

I need a pedal position sesor 4 my 01 isuzu rodeo i am haveing no luck finding one can some one help me

Probably you mean a throttle position sensor commonly referred to as a TPS. They frequently go bad. Google "Isuzu TPS" for location diagrams and other info. Once installed, there are likely to be adjustments needed that require equipment. Any Isuzu dealer should have one in stock.

Occasional High Idle on a 2001 isuzu rodeo sport

It may be a Throttle Positioning Sensor, or TPS for short. Is the engine light on, and if so you can get it scanned at any local advance auto or autozone for free to tell you what it is. If it's not the TPS, checking simple preventitive maintnence areas, like tune up, if it hasn't been done in a while, it's a good thing to do.
Hope this helps
