my 08 1500 has the tps code come up evey 45000-50000 miles. Last time the dealer cleaned the throttle body ,and sent it back with a $175 bill.Its considered maintenance,nit warranty. I later learned thats a common issue. Clean the throttle body around the platewith some carb cleaner, but dont drown it. DISCONNECT THE BATTERY before messing with it. I was told it will thro off the calibration. I was told that the goo around the plate throws off the calibration and sets the code.
