Default Scanner read on TPS.

Is my throttle position sensor going bad based on the scanner reading?

I’m assuming this is KOEO...if so this is fine !!...with your accelerator pedal not depressed TPS 1 voltage will go from a low voltage (.67 in your case) to under 5 volts at WOT...TPS 2 will go from a high voltage (under 5 volts) to a low !!....depress the gas pedal and you can see for yourself !!

Your values from the two TPS sensors are very similar to mine on Idle
