Title: fault code 22
Post by: amba on 30 June 2007, 07:20:37

Anybody had to replace a throttle position sensor....have had erratic running and almost stalling over last few days...have eml so flashed up fault codes..they indicated 22 as tps ..now i did fit another one a few months ago albeit that it was second hand so unknown history...just wondering if anybody else has had issues with them as want to be sure that that is the fault..as they say "if the computer says its faulty should you just buy a new one" ?

If the one you used was second hand, I should think that's a definate starting point.

If you have access to a scanner, do a live data check on it...

Thanks TB...after a bit of an argument with local vx crooks  have established that the correct part no is :90541502 and is the tps for Bosch no 0 280 122 014..after a chat with the more friendly electrican at vx he seemed to agree that best plan was to fit a new one..guess what??none in stock and best option now is tuesday so 4 days without work ...more ££££,s

TBH, they are fairly reliable, so I would trawl some scrappies....

I had hoped they  were fairly reliable,but this is the second one inside a few months and 10k miles to give me problems..albeit last one was second hand,so me think second hand to get me running and order new one as permenant job??my real question is why 2 in a short space of time? could i be really that unlucky !

Possible I guess, though check wiring etc...
