this car has code p1545. has to do with throttle control malfunction. the tps value does not change on the scan tool. any ideas. thanks.

bad tps switch

it has no throttle cable. so would you replace the gas pedel or throttle body.[used]

neither it is fly by wire. so the switch is located on the throtlle body or at the pedal itself. find the tps switch unplug it and see if you get a code 1544. that means the switch is in the loop just not receiving or sending the 5 volt signal back to the ecm. it could simply be a flash for the system from the dealer that needs to occur. might call a vw mechanic and see how much or what they recommend to fix this issue. you can also do a good search for repair of code p1545 to see if someone out there has a home fix but i think it is a dealer issue at best guess. good luck

the throttle body is not opening so it won't accelerate, then sometimes it will.
