POSSIBLE CAUSE

P0122

  • Harness or connectors (TP sensor 2 circuit is open or shorted.)

  • Electric throttle control actuator (TP sensor 2)

P0123

  • Harness or connectors (TP sensor 2 circuit is open or shorted.)

  • Electric throttle control actuator (TP sensor 2)

FAIL-SAFE

Engine operating condition in fail-safe mode
Fail safe mode Nissan Murano Vehicle behavior
Throttle position sensor

The ECM controls the electric throttle control actuator in regulating the throttle opening in order for the idle position to be within +10 degrees.

The ECM regulates the opening speed of the throttle valve to be slower than the normal condition.

Therefore, the acceleration will be poor.
DTC Confirmation Procedure
