P1122 NISSAN Possible Causes
- Faulty electronic throttle control actuator
- Electronic throttle control actuator harness is open or shorted
- Poor electrical connection in electronic throttle control actuator circuit
How to Fix P1122 NISSAN Code?
Start by checking the “possible causes” listed above. Visually inspect the corresponding cable harness and connectors. Check for damaged components and look for broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded connector pins.
What Does It Mean?
Start by performing the “Idle Air Volume Learning Procedure”. If the problem persists, the electronic throttle control actuator may need to be replaced.
When Is the Code Detected?
The electronic throttle control function is not operating properly.
Possible Symptoms
Illuminated engine light (or service engine soon warning light)
P1122 NISSAN Meaning
The electronic throttle control actuator consists of a throttle control motor, throttle position sensor (TPS), etc. The throttle control motor is operated by the engine control module (ECM) and it opens and closes the throttle valve.
The throttle position sensor detects the throttle valve position and the opening/closing speed of the throttle valve and transmits voltage signals to the ECM. The ECM determines the current throttle valve opening angle from these signals and the ECM controls the throttle control motor to properly adjust the throttle valve opening angle in response to driving conditions.
