Saab 900 9000 YS3A YS3C YS3D Throttle Position Sensor 0280122001
OEM Spec Fit Replaces 0280122001
BRAND NEW *OEM Quality* throttle position sensor to suit a range of Saab, Alfa Romeo, Peugeot, Citroen and Ferrari petrol engines sharing the Bosch 0280122001 sensor.
This is the common Bosch three-pin throttle position sensor used across a wide spread of European engines. Symptoms of failure are usually a hanging or hunting idle and hesitation off throttle. Packed and shipped from Cranbourne VIC.
TO SUIT
- Saab 900 and 9000, 2.0L and 2.3L 16V including Turbo, Aero, CS, CD and CSE
- Alfa Romeo 155, 164, GTV and Spider, 2.0L Twin Spark and 3.0L V6
- Peugeot 306, 405 and 605, 1.6L and 2.0L including S16 and Turbo
- Citroen BX, XM and Xantia, 1.9L and 2.0L
- Ferrari 348, F355, 360, 456, 512, 550 and Maranello
FITMENT CHECK
Two similar-looking throttle position sensors are used across these ranges and they are not interchangeable. This one has a smooth rectangular connector housing with three dark flat blades, and replaces Bosch 0280122001.
The other type has a ribbed connector housing with three gold pins and a locking tab underneath, and replaces Bosch 0280122014. Saab 9-3 and 9-5 models generally take that second type. Compare your existing plug before ordering.

ABOUT THIS SENSOR
The throttle position sensor converts throttle plate angle into a voltage signal the engine management reads to set fuelling and ignition timing. On the Saab Trionic and Alfa Twin Spark systems it also contributes to boost and idle control strategy.
Wear concentrates at the closed throttle end of the resistive track. Across these European engines the usual result is an idle that hangs after you lift off, plus a stumble as the throttle cracks open, often with no fault code stored at all.
COMMON SYMPTOMS OF FAILURE
- Idle hangs high after lifting off the throttle
- Hunting or unstable idle
- Stumble or hesitation just off closed throttle
- Inconsistent boost onset on turbo models
- Rough running and poor fuel economy
- Fault codes P0120, P0121, P0122 or P0123

What fault codes does a faulty TPS trigger?
A faulty throttle position sensor typically triggers codes P0120 to P0124. P0120 and P0121 indicate the TPS signal is out of range, P0122 and P0123 indicate the signal is too low or too high, and P0124 indicates an intermittent signal. On drive-by-wire vehicles additional codes related to the electronic throttle control system may also be present.
Can a faulty TPS cause my automatic transmission to shift incorrectly?
Yes. The ECU shares throttle position data with the transmission control module to determine when to upshift and downshift. A faulty TPS sending incorrect throttle angle data can cause erratic shift points, harsh gear changes, the transmission hunting between gears, or the vehicle remaining in a fixed gear. Replacing the TPS often resolves transmission behaviour issues that appear unrelated.
Is it safe to drive with a faulty throttle position sensor?
It depends on how severely the sensor has failed. A partially failed TPS may cause hesitation and poor throttle response but the vehicle remains driveable. A fully failed TPS on a drive-by-wire vehicle can trigger limp mode, restricting the engine to a fixed low throttle position to prevent runaway acceleration. In either case replace the sensor as soon as possible as the fault can worsen without warning.
What are the symptoms of a faulty throttle position sensor?
Symptoms include jerky or hesitant acceleration, rough idle, unexpected surging, poor throttle response, stalling, and fault codes P0120-P0124. Drive-by-wire vehicles may also enter a limp mode limiting engine power.
Can I clean a throttle position sensor instead of replacing it?
TPS sensors are sealed units and cannot be cleaned or adjusted reliably. If the sensor is producing erratic signals or fault codes, replacement is the correct solution. Attempting to clean or adjust it usually results in continued faults.
Do I need to calibrate the throttle position sensor after replacement?
Many vehicles require a TPS calibration or throttle body relearn procedure after replacement. This is usually done with an OBD2 scanner or by following a specific ignition on/off sequence. Check your vehicle's service manual or contact us for guidance.
