Default Help!! The old engine power reduced. Have TPS codes!

Z running fine. Today all of a sudden started up.. shaking at 1100 rpm no gas pedal. Service traction control. Code were P0122 and P0222.. throttle body sensor low voltage?? 2 ciodes...

Connections, wiring all good. Replaced gas pedals sensor 3 years ago. This is all new to me. No where on net is there a tbsp to replace. Mine is 5 year old ported silver blade. How do I check voltage at what location? In run? What should be reading?

Thanks for any replies. Need fixed asap!

I did a bunch of stuff but did not help. On mine I thought the connection / wiring was good - it was not. I ended up getting a new pigtail and that fixed it. I think because the engine is jiggling around and they use really thin wire and or the connection can ware out easy from plugging an unplugging that is why you see a bazzillion pigtails for sale. If you do go that route cut about 4 inches or more of wire from your old one and splice in. Because wire is so thin, I used appliance butt connectors which are made for the 20-22 gauge wire I think I even had to fold it over. I then used shrink wrap over the wire.
