Error Code P 0122

Discussion in 'General Motoring' started by matthewsgrant, Apr 12, 2005.

  1. Hi,

    I have a 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. Lately, the check engine
    light has been coming on. I ran a diagnostic test (ignition on/off
    on/off on/off on) and it shows the codes P 0122, P 0456. I was able to
    find info on P 0456 (possibly a bad seal on gas cap - gonna check it
    out), but I haven't been able to find anything regarding P 0122. Can
    anyone offer any information as to what this is, and what might cause
    it. Also, any fix information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Matt,

    Reference the factory manual for 2000 (should be very similar).

    P0122 - Throttle position sensor input below the acceptable voltage range,
    or APPS voltage input below the minimum acceptable voltage.

    P0456 - Leak has been detected in the evaporative system.

    P0456 is small leak detected. There are three leak fault codes. Small,
    medium P0442, and large P0455. Small leak is the tech's most dreaded fault
    [other than multiple cylinder misfire :) ] It could be the vacuum valve in
    the gas cap. They can accumulate trash and some rust and leak.
