To test a throttle position sensor (TPS) on a 1994 Range Rover, first, you can use a multimeter to measure the voltage output of the sensor while the throttle is being opened and closed. The voltage should change smoothly and consistently between 0.5 to 4.5 volts as the throttle is actuated. If you notice any abrupt changes, drops, or a lack of response, the TPS may be faulty. Additionally, you can check for any stored trouble codes in the vehicle's onboard diagnostics system that could indicate TPS issues.
code po121 means Throttle Position Sensor/Switch A Circuit Range/Performance Problem . it is usually indicative of a faulty throttle position sensor or faulty wiring harness in the engine bay.
Throttle position sensor out of range.
The possibilities can be many. It can range from a malfunctuioning fuel pump, to a bad throttle position sensor, to faulty fuel injectors. First I would check the throttle position sensor since this is the cheapest part, and also the easiest to replace. The throttle position sensor tells the computer how much air and fuel to put in the engine. If it is messed up it can cause hesitation, stalling, transmission buckoing, etc...
Throttle Position sensor out of range
A Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) reports to the ECM how open the throttle is. The signal is sent as voltage to the ECM, and the amount of voltage reports how open the throttle is. The throttle is what allows gasoline to get to the engine, and in a car that is the gas pedal. We would think fo the value as 0% to 100% and any range between.
P0121 - Throttle Pedal Sensor Switch "A" Circuit Range/Performance. Most common fix is to replace the Throttle position sensor.
To adjust the throttle position sensor (TPS) on a 1997 Nissan pickup, first, locate the TPS on the throttle body. Use a multimeter to check the voltage output; it should typically range between 0.5 to 0.9 volts at the closed throttle position. If the voltage is outside this range, loosen the TPS mounting screws and carefully rotate the sensor until the correct voltage is achieved, then re-tighten the screws. Finally, recheck the voltage to ensure proper adjustment.
To check the throttle sensor on a Cadillac Fleetwood, first ensure the vehicle is turned off and disconnect the battery. Next, locate the throttle position sensor (TPS) on the throttle body and use a multimeter to measure the voltage at the sensor's electrical connector while moving the throttle plate. The voltage should change smoothly as the throttle opens and closes. If the readings are inconsistent or out of the specified range, the sensor may need to be replaced.
According to my factory service manual the throttle position sensor voltage on a Chevrolet Celebrity should be between 0.5 V and 5.0 volts as it moves through its range of motion.

Trouble code P1120 means: Throttle Position Sensor A Out Of Range Low (Ratch too low)
ANSWER: Need make, model and year to be able to tell you how to reset the throtle position.
