code problems again

all the truck info is in my sig. i am getting code 122-tps signal to low, witch i think the tps is bad due to the way it runs so i am going to replace it with a motorcraft one. code 172 but i am going to follow xc4jokestomper's post to figure that one out (i think it is to replace the o2 sensor)but i am also getting code 212-loss of diagnostic monitor signal short to grounded output what does that one mean?

Code 212 indicates the PCM is not seeing the IDM (Ignition Diagnostic Monitor) signal. What color Ignition Control Module (ICM) is in the truck? It should be black (CCD-style). A gray (Push Start-style) ICM will trigger this code in your vintage truck.

A missing SPOUT connector or poor connection can also trigger Code 212.
