What are the possible causes of the KIA P1295 code?
- Faulty throttle position sensor (TPS)
- Throttle position sensor (TPS) harness is open or shorted
- Poor electrical connection in the throttle position sensor (TPS) circuit
- Faulty Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
- Faulty mass air flow (MAF) sensor
- Faulty manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
How to repair the KIA P1295 code?
Start by checking the “Possible Causes” listed above. Visually inspect the wiring harness and related connectors. Check for damaged components and look for broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded connector pins.
What are the possible symptoms of the KIA P1295 code?
- Engine light on (or Service Engine Soon warning light)
What does the KIA P1295 code mean?
The Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) system consists of the throttle body components, throttle position sensor (TPS) 1 and 2, and accelerator position sensor (APS) 1 and 2. The throttle body contains the actuator, throttle valve, and throttle position sensor (potentiometer), which are integrated into a single housing. The actuator consists of a DC motor with a two-stage gear. The throttle valve opening angle is detected by the throttle position sensor mounted on the throttle body. And it provides feedback to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to control the throttle motor to properly control the throttle valve opening angle in response to driving conditions.
