P0122 fault code refers to a throttle or accelerator pedal position sensor malfunction. The solution involves: cleaning the throttle, checking whether the accelerator pedal sensor's plug is loose, whether the circuit is disconnected, etc., to detect the cause of the vehicle fault. Then, depending on the severity of the problem, choose to repair it yourself or go directly to a 4S shop for repair. Finally, after the problem is solved, clear the fault code. Precautions for throttle cleaning: 1. When cleaning the throttle, it can be left unassembled, but the intake sealing part must be cleaned thoroughly; 2. When choosing a cleaning agent, never use a highly corrosive cleaner, and pay attention to the cleaning force during cleaning to avoid damaging the coating.
