Hi! I'm new to the forum and unfortunately with some issues, hope you guys can help.
I wonder if a TPS error could mean an APS error or vice versa, here is why I ask this:
A couple of months ago I washed this 1199, afterwards it started to shut down randomly and throwing engine light, engine will start however no throttle at all, after waiting around 10min the light will go off and the bike will ride normally. Checked with melcodiag and threw P0221 Horizontal cylinder throttle position error [TPS 2 - Difference between track 1 and track 2]. After doing the APS reset it was fixed.
Today, started to rain while riding, made a stop to put on my rain suit, turned the ignition on, and engine light came back, started the engine, no throttle, waited 10min, and fixed. Checked with melcodiag:
P0120 Throttle Position sensor/switch A Circuit Malfuction.
So do you guys think this could be a TPS or APS problem? if TPS, why would rain or moisture trigger the problem? or just coincidence?
Also wanted to add that this bike has an issue that the idle stalls and dies after a long way down with engine breaking if I come to a stop and press the clutch or put it in neutral, it starts normally and idles normally afterwards, maybe related don't know. Would like to take care of these sensors first to see.
Thanks!
