New TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) solved the problem

Post by red454 »

1993 SSEi. 86K miles.

I was getting these codes:

21 (TPS signal voltage high)
36 (transaxle shift control problem)
39 (torque converter clutch problem)

And some odd shift behavior a few times.

Changed the TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) and that seems to have solved the problem.

Good to hear!

Can't believe you only have 86k on a 93. I have 186k on my 03....
