My 2016 Canyon lost power and the Throttle Body Sensor code said it was bad. It was replaced, but after driving 150 miles it repeated the error code. Any ideas if these sensors should be replaced in the off chance they are defective? The dealer has had it a week now and isn’t too concerned about …

I ask because it took 4 different O2 sensors on my daughter’s Kia Sedona before it stopped creating a fault. I believe we have reputable info now due to this forum to deal with the next fault—with this issue—am so glad my decades of listening to Click and Clack the Tappett brothers reminded me of g…

I’m a little behind. Or lost. 2016 canyon with a TPS voltage code and what has been replaced already? Given the code, if it’s a 2016, I’d suspect the throttle body itself (I think it’s sold as a complete unit), the accelerator pedal position sensor (pedal may be sold as a complete unit also, or the…

If I had that problem my-diyer-self, I’d use an oscilloscope to view the signals on the wire in question as the throttle position changed. If the 'scope didn’t due the trick, I’d use a logic analyzer. I don’t know if auto shops routinely have these types of instruments, and staff who know how to…

It could be something as simple as a bad connector or faulty wire.

Thanks for the great story :+1: Hubby was lead maintenance and national registered electrician for a large global company where we live. While still working, he resolved issues that techs flown over from Germany could NOT fix—and they installed the machines lol. He had access to any tool needed to f…
