Because of our time difference, can you please give me any other thing you think I should sort out tomorrow. Also I have read that the TPS should always be in the middle position. Is this correct please?

TPS does not necessarily mean it should be at center, it is there or abouts but only checking the voltage can you be sure.

You need to get the O2 sensors going so the schematics should be enough for you to get on for the time being.

VSC light can be turned off or on by the switch. Does it work?

Why does the mechanic mention a faulty wheel sensor when you don't have trouble codes?

You would need appropriate scan tool to check the headlight levelling and it dould be due to a blown fuse etc. There are not much information in our database regarding this, only the wiring schematic is available.

Here they are. If you print them, they should be better than the PDF files.

CHRISTA DICKSON,
Hello. Welcome back to 2CarPros.
Would it be possible for you to ask this as a new question. Please include all information about the vehicle in question as there are a few different definitions on the P1120 code.
https://www.2carpros.com/questions/new

As a quick response, yes these codes could cause a no start as the PCM uses the throttles position to calculate initial fuel settings, if the position sensor tells the unit that the throttle is pushed fully open it will put the system into a clear flood mode. That shuts off the injectors in an effort to dry out the spark plugs. With no fuel the engine will not start.
