Throttle Position (TP) Sensor

  1. Install jumper wires to enable connection of a DVOM in parallel between TP sensor harness connectors. Connect DVOM positive lead to Dark Blue wire terminal. Connect negative lead to Black wire terminal. See Fig 1.
  2. Turn ignition on, engine off. Signal voltage should gradually change from less than one volt at closed throttle to about 5.0 volts at wide open throttle position. If reading is not as specified, replace TP sensor.
  3. TP sensor circuit malfunction should set a related trouble code. For further information, see appropriate TESTS W/CODES article in this section. Also see TPS ADJUSTMENT in ADJUSTMENTS article in this section.
