Optra LS 2.0L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 194,000 miles

Here's a MANDATORY / NECESSARY fix for your P0122 and/or P1122 and P0342 DTC on Korean made cars. After replacing the TPS Throttle Position Sensor, you have to pull the TCM fuse with car key in ignition off position for 5 minutes, then replace TCM fuse, clear ECM codes, take a drive, leave in D gear only for 250 - 500 miles. Do not use the hold or do any sport shifting for 250-500 miles. Best to pull ECM fuse(s) too at same time for 5 minutes as ECM and TCM work together.

This may not be completely relevant to original post, but DTC P0122 haunted me for months on my Canadian 2005 Chev Optra5 (sister car is Suzuki Reno / Forenza in USA), I would switch out sensors, the code would go out for a bit, then come back, I decided to get the transmission fluid changed at a reputable transmission garage, the mechanic said I also had a P1122 code. Anyway, since the tranny fluid was replaced the check engine light has stayed off, been 2 weeks. Worth doing anyway.

Update from May 25, 2019: UPDATE: P0122 DTC SOLVED: REPLACED ECM WITH RE-MANUFACTURED ECM FROM FLAGSHIP ONE: https://www.fs1inc.com

DEALER REPROGRAMMED 1.5 HOURS LABOUR FOR INSTALL/REPROGRAMMING

2005 OPTRA5 NOW RUNS LIKE A DREAM; NO MORE INTERMITTENT P0122 DTC.
