Hi.

You'll have to test them. It's usually the one above the oil filter the one that fails

I heard that the code P0121 is the one next to the oil filter, also knows an "A", then "B" is the one under the intake and "C" is the gas pedal. "B+C" should have their own codes, I believe one of them is P0226.

Again test them and see which one it is. I'm on my second TPS and it's always been the one next to the oil filter.

Thanks Autobot!

Do you know if the code P0121 is the specific code for THAT sensor or if it just is a general code for any of the 3 sensors?
