Trottle Control Moter Lock Malfuntion

[Martin Gillespie]

After putting in a new TPS , I was told I have the above problem, any ideas

[steve2006]

Was the TPS correctly set up/aligned using the factory proceedure?

If the throttle pedal is pressed during fitment of the TPS it can throw the whole system out.

Martin, look very carefully to see if any vacuum lines are uncoupled or damaged. You will need to remove the engine cover. On U.S. cars your problem throws up the code P1128 which refers to the throttle control motor lock. (Our cars are not as strictly OBD2 compliant as the U.S. cars, so harder to read, and expensive at Lexus). An owner there had this code and it turned out to be just a damaged vacuum line. If it is, it's an easy fix.
