Default Throttle Body Engine Light

My 97 850 T5 is throwing an intermittent code about "no voltage from throttle body". Is this due to a fault in the throttle position sensor or could it be something else?

Thanks!

What is the actual P code? Some of the generic translations don't translate to Swedish very well.

I can't think of anything else but the TPS that's electronic and on the throttle body. I'd check that out first.

If the scanner being used reported the TPS was bad, it probably is the TPS/its electrical connections that needs attention (Volvo's self-diagnostic isn't very accurate sometimes).

I would try to clean the electrical connector with a can of electrical contact cleaner and clean the throttle body. Do this with the ignition off, and it it were me I would also disconnect the negative battery cable, which is kind of a pain in the south end.

Give us updates if you would,
