What does code P1219 mean?

Q: What does code P1219 mean?

Throttle Position Sensor Reference Voltage. P1219 on Chrysler vehicles indicates that the powertrain control module (PCM) has detected an out-of-range reference voltage on the throttle position sensor (TPS) circuit. The PCM expects a steady 5-volt reference signal, but the voltage it sees is either too low or too high, which prevents it from accurately determining throttle plate position.
