How do I reset the throttle position sensor in a Honda?
I just cleaned out the throttle body on my 2008 Accord, and now my RPMs are a bit high. How can I reset my TP sensor?

Great question, and glad to hear that you’re keeping up with the maintenance needs of your engine. Resetting the throttle position sensor in a
Honda Accord
should take less than two minutes with an OBD2 scanner (aka code reader).Follow these steps:
- Connect your scanner to the OBD2 port under your dash.
- Use the buttons on the scanner to navigate to the TP POSITION CHECK menu.
- Reset the TP value.
- Select RELEARN PROCESS after the TP value has been reset.
Just like that, you’ve reset the throttle position sensor in your Honda Accord. While you’re taking care of your car, spare a minute to review your car insurance policy.
