To diagnose the P0121 2008 Ford Fusion code, it typically requires 1.0 hour of labor. The specific diagnosis time and labor rates at auto repair shops can differ based on factors such as the location, make and model of the vehicle, and even the engine type. It is common for most auto repair shops to charge between $75 and $150 per hour.
Malfunction is detected when an excessively low or high voltage from the sensor is sent to ECM.
The throttle position (TP) sensor circuit is monitored by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) for a non-closed throttle position at idle. The test fails if the key on engine running (KOER) self-test terminates upon placing the transmission gear selector in DRIVE or REVERSE or the TP closed throttle position is not achieved when closing the throttle (idle) after opening it (in PARK or NEUTRAL).
