Hi I am still having problems with the TPS sensor on my 1.8 Freelander.
When I read the error I now get P0122 error code which will not clear.
I have used a multi meter to measure the 3 wires connected to the sensor.
The bottom wire reads 0. This is the Earth.
The top wire from the ECU reads 14v which is surprising as the book says this should be 5v.
The middle wire which is the return to the ECU reads 2.95v at throttle closed. This should be less than 1v at closed throttle.
Can anybody shed any light on what is going on.
 
There should be 5 Volts where you have 14. It makes sense that the return voltage is high because the feed voltage is high. You need to check the wiring or the ECU I would think.

Yes thought it should be. I was looking at putting a variable voltage regulator into the circuit on the input side if I cant find the reason why it is giving the wrong level.
 
An update, problem solved. Some numpty who owned the vehicle before me must have been doing some work and when they re coneccted everything they switched the cam position sensor connection with the TPS connector and visa versa. When I checked the voltages in rave for the 2 sensors, and then checked the wiring it was obvious.
I bought the car with the issue at a very good price so now very happy.
This cleared the TC and HDC error lights. After re scanning the OBD codes and resetting them the vehicle now is reporting no errors.
