What does code P1295 mean?

Q: What does code P1295 mean?

No 5 Volt Supply To TP Sensor. P1295 on a Mitsubishi means the engine control module (ECM) has detected that the 5-volt reference supply feeding the throttle position (TP) sensor circuit has dropped out or is out of range. The ECM monitors this shared reference voltage and sets the code when it falls below a calibrated threshold, which leaves the TP sensor unable to report throttle angle accurately.
