ALFA ROMEO P — Powertrain

Throttle angle repeat signal above maximum value

AI status
Completed
ready
Completed 100%
Page language: EN

Causes

  • Faulty throttle position sensor (TPS) or accelerator pedal position sensor
  • Open/short in TPS/pedal sensor wiring (short to battery/5V reference)
  • Damaged or corroded connector or pins at throttle body or pedal module
  • Failed throttle body assembly (integrated sensor/electronics)
  • Faulty 5 V reference or ground to the sensor from the ECU
  • Intermittent ECU fault or internal electronics failure

Symptoms

  • Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL/Check Engine) illuminated
  • Reduced engine power / limp-home mode
  • Poor or unresponsive accelerator pedal
  • Surging or erratic idle
  • Possible inability to start or sudden loss of throttle control

What to check

  • Read stored freeze-frame and live data with a diagnostic scanner
  • Confirm P1664 is current or historic and record any related codes (P012x, P022x, P2135, P210x, etc.)
  • Visually inspect throttle body and accelerator pedal connectors for corrosion, bent pins or water ingress
  • Backprobe throttle angle/position sensor signal wires and measure voltage with key ON / engine OFF
  • Check 5 V reference and ground at the sensor connector
  • Wiggle test wiring harness while monitoring live signal for intermittent changes

Signal parameters

  • Typical TPS/pedal sensor voltage: ~0.4–1.0 V at closed/throttle idle to ~4.0–4.6 V at wide open
  • Redundant/second sensor often provides an inverse or separate scaled signal (check OEM spec)
  • 5 V reference supply from ECU should be steady (≈5.0 V) with key ON
  • Sensor ground should be low resistance to chassis/ECU ground (≈0 Ω)
  • Fault condition if signal exceeds ~4.8–5.2 V or is above manufacturer maximum threshold

Diagnostic algorithm

  1. Connect a capable scan tool, confirm P1664 and note any related DTCs and freeze-frame data.
  2. View live data: observe throttle angle / pedal position sensors at key ON and during pedal movement. Note abnormal/high readings.
  3. With key ON (engine OFF) backprobe sensor signal wire(s). Measure DC voltage at closed throttle and while moving the throttle/pedal. Compare to expected range.
  4. Measure the 5 V reference at the sensor connector with key ON. Verify it is present and stable. Check sensor ground continuity to ECU ground.
  5. Inspect and repair any damaged connectors, pins, and wiring. Pay attention to signs of short to battery (voltage present on signal when it should be low).
  6. Perform wiggle test on wiring harness while monitoring live signal for intermittent faults.
  7. If wiring and connector are good, remove and bench-test or replace the throttle body (or pedal module) per OEM procedure.
  8. If replacement does not clear the issue, test or replace ECU only after confirming harness and sensors are correct and checking for TSBs/recalls.

Likely causes

  • Corroded/damaged connector or wiring causing a short to battery
  • Failed throttle position sensor inside throttle body
  • Shorted 5 V reference or sensor return/ground

Fault status

⚠️ Status
Throttle angle repeat signal above maximum value — redundant throttle/position feedback is reporting a voltage higher than the allowed maximum. Check throttle/pedal sensors, wiring, and 5 V reference/ground.
🟡 Repair difficulty: Medium
⏱️ Diagnostic time: 0.5-2.0 hours

  3. With key ON (engine OFF) backprobe sensor signal wire(s). Measure DC voltage at closed throttle and while moving the throttle/pedal. Compare to expected range.
  4. Measure the 5 V reference at the sensor connector with key ON. Verify it is present and stable. Check sensor ground continuity to ECU ground.
  5. Inspect and repair any damaged connectors, pins, and wiring. Pay attention to signs of short to battery (voltage present on signal when it should be low).
  6. Perform wiggle test on wiring harness while monitoring live signal for intermittent faults.
  7. If wiring and connector are good, remove and bench-test or replace the throttle body (or pedal module) per OEM procedure.
  8. If replacement does not clear the issue, test or replace ECU only after confirming harness and sensors are correct and checking for TSBs/recalls.

Likely causes

  • Corroded/damaged connector or wiring causing a short to battery
  • Failed throttle position sensor inside throttle body
  • Shorted 5 V reference or sensor return/ground

Fault status

⚠️ Status
Throttle angle repeat signal above maximum value — redundant throttle/position feedback is reporting a voltage higher than the allowed maximum. Check throttle/pedal sensors, wiring, and 5 V reference/ground.
🟡 Repair difficulty: Medium
⏱️ Diagnostic time: 0.5-2.0 hours

P1664

OLDSMOBILE P — Powertrain

1-4 Upshift Lamp Control Circuit

AI status
Completed
ready
Completed 100%
Page language: EN

Causes

  • Faulty throttle position sensor (TPS) or accelerator pedal position sensor
  • Open/short in TPS/pedal sensor wiring (short to battery/5V reference)
  • Damaged or corroded connector or pins at throttle body or pedal module
  • Failed throttle body assembly (integrated sensor/electronics)
  • Faulty 5 V reference or ground to the sensor from the ECU
  • Intermittent ECU fault or internal electronics failure

Symptoms

  • Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL/Check Engine) illuminated
  • Reduced engine power / limp-home mode
  • Poor or unresponsive accelerator pedal
  • Surging or erratic idle
  • Possible inability to start or sudden loss of throttle control

What to check

  • Read stored freeze-frame and live data with a diagnostic scanner
  • Confirm P1664 is current or historic and record any related codes (P012x, P022x, P2135, P210x, etc.)
  • Visually inspect throttle body and accelerator pedal connectors for corrosion, bent pins or water ingress
  • Backprobe throttle angle/position sensor signal wires and measure voltage with key ON / engine OFF
  • Check 5 V reference and ground at the sensor connector
  • Wiggle test wiring harness while monitoring live signal for intermittent changes

Signal parameters

  • Typical TPS/pedal sensor voltage: ~0.4–1.0 V at closed/throttle idle to ~4.0–4.6 V at wide open
  • Redundant/second sensor often provides an inverse or separate scaled signal (check OEM spec)
  • 5 V reference supply from ECU should be steady (≈5.0 V) with key ON
  • Sensor ground should be low resistance to chassis/ECU ground (≈0 Ω)
  • Fault condition if signal exceeds ~4.8–5.2 V or is above manufacturer maximum threshold

Diagnostic algorithm

  1. Connect a capable scan tool, confirm P1664 and note any related DTCs and freeze-frame data.
  2. View live data: observe throttle angle / pedal position sensors at key ON and during pedal movement. Note abnormal/high readings.
  3. With key ON (engine OFF) backprobe sensor signal wire(s). Measure DC voltage at closed throttle and while moving the throttle/pedal. Compare to expected range.
  4. Measure the 5 V reference at the sensor connector with key ON. Verify it is present and stable. Check sensor ground continuity to ECU ground.
  5. Inspect and repair any damaged connectors, pins, and wiring. Pay attention to signs of short to battery (voltage present on signal when it should be low).
