Re: Please Help! TCU code 25

Kia ora Paul,

The TCU receives, and is dependant upon, a single signal for torque control from the ECU, Therefore you should also run a check for ECU codes.

The symptoms you describe could very well indicate a faulty TPS (throttle position sensor.) i.e. a faulty area of connection within the conductive plastic resistive element, probably close to the first point of operation. This might only involve a deposit of dirt. Have a look in the how too section regarding, cleaning, setting and testing, but ignore the test board and measurement stuff.

If you have electronic or audio equipment knowledge, I can advise regarding a more definitive TPS test which, is worth trying.

Cheers, Trevor.
