    TU5JP4 INJECTION ENGINE


    Yesterday I went to work to light the engine light with the message Antipollution Fault.
    I have ELM321 connected to a computer and showed errors:
    Peugeot 307 (2001, 1.6 16V) - Error P0121, Antipollution Fault & High Idle Speed: TU5JP4 Engine

    After clearing the errors, error P0121 returned together with the Antipollution Fault message.
    I removed the throttle, cleaned it. After mounting the error after resetting still returned and I had increased idle speed (about 1100 rpm).
    After driving a kilometer, the speed returned to normal.
    Today, returning from work, I noticed the increased idle speed again and the Antipollution Fault message together with error P0121 all the time.
    Does this mean a damaged throttle?

    Hello, how will it be in emergency mode, unplug the four-pin cube from the gas pedal and see with the meter whether you will have a voltage of 5V between pins 4 and 2.

    I don't have any ankle on the accelerator pedal. There is only a rope attached to the pedal and nothing else - it looks like this:

    I replaced the throttle but the error still returned.
    In general, the case looks like this:
    After clearing the error sometimes I go for a while and the error returns and sometimes immediately.
    This always happens as soon as the car starts up and attempts to gas - then the car does not respond to the accelerator - the engine starts to choke and the message Antipollution Fault appears and the engine light comes on.
    After switching off the ignition and starting the car again, the accelerator pedal now works normally and you can drive although the error still remains

    In 1.4 engines there was a cable and in 1.6 a gas pedal sensor. If the engine controller you have Sagem S 2000 then the engine you have 1.4 and in the throttle you only have a 3-pin potentiometer one of the external pins should have 5V after ignition. If you catch the error do not put out the car, unplug the plug and check if such voltage is present.

    Added after 1 [minutes]:

    So the sensor is located in the engine compartment somewhere near the bulkhead wall, check where the other end of the cable goes.

    Added after 1 [minutes]:

    How to locate the sensor is the rest as in the first post.

    With me, according to the designation between 2 and 3 pin is 5V and between the second and fourth about 10V.

    The damper has 6 pins and the cube on the fifth pin has a voltage of 5V

    All the above measurements were made in safe mode.


    After deleting errors, disconnecting the cube from the sensor and firing the car, there is also an Antipollution Fault error and engine indicator but with a completely different error code from the program:

    On the cube from the throttle everything is correct but on the sensor cube must be as described because either you have a short circuit in the installation or the driver has fallen.

    I am asking you for help because I have the same problem.
    Did you deal with this problem to the end?

    I recently mentioned in 307 what was to be done:
    - lamba probe 2
    - exhaust manifold welding
    - throttle cleaning + calibration
    - crankshaft position sensor replacement
    - replacement of the gas potentiometer in the engine (original used)
    - new gas injectors
    - new reducer
    - new gas pipes
    - I did the engine overhaul: replacement of rings, valves, etc.
    - oil change, filters

    and the car is still stupid ... (increases the revolutions to 1,500 and revolves)

    Hello, Peu 206 sw, TU5JP4 NFU 1.6 16V 109HP engine. The same BOSCH throttle. The throttle traveled 28,000 km for 2 years - still at a German who cried and replaced it in the service for 480 Euro. There was a annoying error P0121 or P0122 out of nowhere. I've been doing wonders, but I have it !. The throttle potentiometer has 4 resistance paths. There are 4 brushes on these paths, set with their sharp edges perpendicular to the paths. After some run there MUST be scraping of the resistive layer .... proof in attached photos. The effect is like a crackling potentiometer in audio. There is an error of convergence of signals A and B, because one of them starts to interrupt. It was enough to move the brushes to a slightly different position - half a mm further or closer to the axis of rotation and the car runs like gold. It's also a good idea to gently clean the paths with isopropanol. You need to pay attention to the delicate wires welded on one of the edges. Of course, according to Bosch's will, this repair is also short-lived. Normally, decent potentiometers used in electronics have a sled-shaped slider, and the really good ones have a carbon brush. The error is very dangerous, because when it occurs, the car enters the antipollution fault mode and suddenly loses power, which can be fatal during overturning. By the way, I changed the throttle plug - the old one was wet, and the gas pedal plug had very loose contacts.

FAQ

TL;DR: For Peugeot 307 TU5JP4 1.6 16V with P0121/Antipollution Fault, confirm a stable 5V reference to the throttle/pedal sensor; “one of the external pins should have 5V after ignition.” [Elektroda, sulof1601, post #16645022]

Why it matters: This helps you diagnose high idle, limp mode, and throttle non-response without buying parts blindly. This FAQ is for DIYers and techs asking “how do I fix P0121/high idle on a 307 TU5JP4?”

Quick Facts

What does OBD-II code P0121 mean on a Peugeot 307 TU5JP4?

P0121 indicates a throttle/pedal position sensor range or performance issue. The ECU sees mismatched or implausible signals. It often triggers the “Antipollution Fault” message and limp mode with poor throttle response. Clear codes, but verify the 5V reference and sensor signals before replacing parts. [Elektroda, gsmowiec, post #16633304]

Why does my idle jump to about 1100 rpm with Antipollution Fault?

The ECU enters a protective strategy when it detects faulty throttle position data. It raises idle and may limit throttle to prevent runaway. Owners reported 1100 rpm idle and intermittent normal behavior after a short drive. Inspect throttle and sensor wiring and confirm reference voltage. [Elektroda, gsmowiec, post #16633304]

Is my car cable-throttle or drive-by-wire?

On 1.6 16V TU5JP4, the system uses an electronic throttle with a pedal sensor, not a cable. The earlier 1.4 had a cable. Expect a multi-pin throttle body and a separate sensor feed with a 5V reference on an outer pin. [Elektroda, sulof1601, post #16645022]

How do I check the 5V reference quickly?

Enter fault mode, unplug the four‑pin sensor connector, and measure between pins 4 and 2. You should see 5V with ignition on. No 5V suggests wiring or ECU supply issues rather than the throttle body itself. “See whether you will have a voltage of 5V.” [Elektroda, sulof1601, post #16635149]

Where is the sensor and what readings should I see?

The pedal/throttle position sensor sits near the bulkhead in the engine bay. Users measured 5V on the sensor supply and also noted 5V at throttle pin 5. Abnormal values, like ~10V between certain pins, point to wiring faults or ECU problems. [Elektroda, gsmowiec, post #16645159]

Can replacing the throttle body alone fix P0121?

Not always. One user replaced the throttle and the fault returned. Investigate the sensor supply, harness, and ECU. A contributor warned it can be a short in the loom or a failed ECU driver. Rule these out before buying more parts. [Elektroda, sulof1601, post #16645216]

What’s a common root cause besides wiring?

Throttle potentiometer wear inside the Bosch unit. The wiper scrapes resistive tracks, causing signal dropout and A/B mismatch (P0121/P0122). One owner saw failure after 28,000 km in two years. This can also cause sudden power loss in traffic. [Elektroda, tunek, post #18848400]

Is there a temporary repair for a worn throttle potentiometer?

Yes. Open the throttle, clean tracks with isopropanol, and shift the brushes about 0.5 mm to unworn paths. The car then “runs like gold,” but lifespan is limited. Replace any wet or loose connectors during reassembly. [Elektroda, tunek, post #18848400]

What’s an edge case I should watch for?

If 5V is missing or abnormally high at the sensor, suspect a loom short or ECU output stage failure. In that case, replacing the throttle will not help. Diagnose wiring continuity and ECU before further parts. [Elektroda, sulof1601, post #16645216]

How do I perform a 3-step voltage test on the throttle circuit?

  1. With the fault present, key ON, unplug the four‑pin sensor connector.
  2. Measure 5V between pins 4 and 2 with a multimeter.
  3. If 5V is absent, inspect wiring to ECU and grounds before replacing hardware. [Elektroda, sulof1601, post #16635149]

Why does the car run fine after a restart yet keep the error?

The ECU may recover sensor tracking after a key cycle, restoring throttle response. However, it retains the stored DTC until cleared and the fault does not reoccur. This matches reports of normal driveability after restarting, with the code still stored. [Elektroda, gsmowiec, post #16644961]

What should I check first if the car won’t respond to the accelerator?

Confirm the 5V reference and grounds at the sensor and throttle. Inspect the throttle connector for moisture and the pedal plug for loose contacts. Clean or repair as needed before calibration. “The plug was wet, and the gas pedal plug had very loose contacts.” [Elektroda, tunek, post #18848400]

Do I need to calibrate the throttle after cleaning or repair?

Yes. After cleaning or internal repair, perform throttle calibration with a capable tool. One user cleaned and calibrated, yet faults persisted until addressing the potentiometer wear and connectors. Calibration confirms learned positions. [Elektroda, marcomp_net, post #17503605]

Could the crankshaft sensor cause these symptoms?

A faulty crank sensor can cause stalling and misfires, but P0121 points at throttle/pedal feedback. One owner replaced the crank sensor during overhaul, yet P0121 behavior remained until addressing throttle electronics. Prioritize the throttle circuit for this code. [Elektroda, marcomp_net, post #17503605]

What is CAN bus in this context?

CAN bus is the car’s high-speed network linking the ECU and modules. P0121 itself is from the throttle/pedal sensor circuit, not CAN faults. However, unstable 5V or bad grounds can mimic communication issues. Fix power and signal integrity first. [Elektroda, sulof1601, post #16645022]
