CM Code 122 question

i know CM code 122 is "TPS circuit has intermittently failed below minimum 0.6 volts."

my question is do i need to replace the TPS or can i fix it some how?

Also could there be someting else causing it to drop below min volts

thanks

This code 122 CM says nothing about voltage.
