  • Binding or bent throttle linkage
  • Faulty Throttle Position Sensor
  • Throttle Position Sensor harness is open or shorted
  • Throttle Position Sensor circuit poor electrical connection

Code Tech Notes

The throttle position (TP) sensor circuit is monitored by the powertrain control module (PCM) for an out of range TP rotation angle or voltage input. The test fails if the TP rotation angle or voltage reading is less than 13.27% (0.66 volt) or greater than 23.52% (1.17 volts).

What Does the P1124 2011 Ford Fusion Code Mean?

The Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) responds to the accelerator pedal movement. The TPS is a rotary potentiometer sensor that provides a signal to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) that is linearly proportional to the throttle plate/shaft position. As the TPS is rotated by the throttle shaft, the following operating conditions are determined by the PCM:
• Closed throttle (includes idle or deceleration)
• Part throttle (includes cruise or moderate acceleration)
• Wide open throttle (includes maximum acceleration or de-choke on crank)
• Throttle angle rate
