Replying to: dataguru (Oct 04, 2004 3:39 pm) I own a 2001 Dodge Dakota Quad Cab and have experienced the same problem. The engine light came on and using the ignition-odometer check it displayed engine code P0121. Im assuming the problem is with the TPS sensor voltage. My question is how do I tell if the sensor has the wrong voltage and if so how do I switch it back? Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Replying to: norcalsully (Jan 13, 2006 11:38 am) The ECU (Engine Control Unit) supplies a constant-current to the TPS and thus can determine the throttle-plate position. The voltage across the TPS is relative to its resistance to that constant-current. The TPS is held on to the throttlebody with 2 screws and is easilly replacable. After replacing the TPS, you MUST NOT TOUCH THE THROTTLE for about a minute after starting the engine to allow the ECU to recalibrate to the different resistance that the new TPS may have. After that, the ECU will have re-learned what resistance-value represents "idle position". |

| I own a 2003 quad cab dakota my fan blower will only work on high. I think i need to replace the resistor block can any one tell me were i would find it and is it hard to replace? | |
The resistor block is located in the heater plenum, just to the left of the blower motor, which is underneath the glove compartment. It is held in with two hex head screws. The rearmost one is a little hard to get at. You might have to remove some of the heater duct near the console. Once the screws are out, remove the resistor block and disconnect the electrical harness.

| Hey, new to the site. New used 2004 Dakota Owner, great truck got 19k miles. Before buying had selling dealer replace knuckle joint( a "common problem") causing noise coming from drivers side. Two months later, after a 200 mile road trip, the front end makes a noise going over medium size bumps in the road and when exiting my driveway. It's not a horrible noise but for what I'm paying and that's it under warranty, plus I'd like it to not make noises for the next 100k that didn't exist when I bought it. Any body have similar noises at low speeds over moderate bumps? Should I tell the dealer to look for something specific and was the initial knuckle issue "common" as I was told. Thanks in advance | |
