P1295 — Throttle position motor power management mode
System: Powertrain | Type: Manufacturer-Specific | Make: Isuzu
P1295 is a manufacturer-specific powertrain diagnostic trouble code recorded for Isuzu vehicles. It belongs to the P-prefix family of codes, which covers engine, transmission, emissions, or fuel-system faults.
Scanning & clearing: A generic OBD-II scan tool will usually read and clear powertrain (P) codes. For live data, freeze-frame capture, and bi-directional tests you may need a more capable scan tool that supports the vehicle's ECM protocol.
P1295 is a manufacturer-specific code. The same code string on a different make may have a different meaning. Always confirm the code's definition against the vehicle's service information for the specific make and model under test.
The electronic throttle control system uses a power management mode to reduce engine output when the ECM detects a condition that limits safe throttle operation. DTC P1295 sets when the ECM enters this power management strategy for the throttle position motor, typically because of a throttle motor fault, a sensor disagreement, or a supply voltage problem that prevents full throttle authority. In power management mode the ECM caps how far the throttle can open, limiting available power while keeping the vehicle driveable. The driver notices reduced acceleration and a capped top speed, usually w...
