In simpler terms, a P0121 trouble code popping up on your Chevy Tahoe points to an issue with the throttle pedal position sensor switch. This sensor is located on the throttle body in the engine, and it basically takes the signal from your foot on the pedal and tells the engine how much air to let in. This control of air intake is crucial for managing the car's acceleration. If this sensor malfunctions, the engine won't know how much air to allow in, leading to potential issues such as engine stalling or the car's speed not aligning with your pedal actions. It could also cause unexpected speed increases, also known as surging, when you're not pressing down on the pedal.
