Is this the TPS or something bigger?

Asked by Ryan Aug 05, 2020 at 07:50 PM about the 2013 Chrysler 300 AWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

So my car was dead when I woke up this morning got a
jump and it started right up drove it for about 3 hours
parked it and let it sit for about 4 hours it was dead when I
went to start it again, come to find that the car now has an
engine code of p0222 throttle position sensor low voltage
but the car is not acting as though it has a bad TPS so I
start to drive it home turn it off at a gas pump and
immediately try to turn it back on, dead again but this time
when it is jumped it has all the symptoms of a bad TPS. I
feel like there is a bigger problem causing the TPS hoping
someone has some insight

I've taken the battery to be tested twice and AutoZone seems to think the battery is good, but if I leave the battery on a charger and put it back in the car then the car will run fine and all the engine lights will turn off, so I've been trying to find why the battery is draining and I can't seem to find any explanation

Charging voltage for the alternator is within acceptable range and the car isn't dying while driving the battery only dies overnight when I'm sleeping and still no clue what is making the battery drain
