Default TPS shows 23% at idle... wtf?

anyone else have this issue with NNBS trucks? I never really paid much attention to it, was looking at a log from a few runs early this morning and noticed it so I went out and checked it a few minutes ago and sure enough. Anyone know what's up with that?

I've seen it. It should settle down to mid to upper teens once warm.

Is there a way to recalibrate it to get a proper reading?

That is the way it is designed to work, not sure why but it is. My 04 idles at like 10% or something, I forget. In the big picture of things it is irrelevant, that is the way that the throttle tables are scaled.
