Sensor Inspection

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Kia Amanti. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Disconnect the TPS connector.
  2. Using Ohmmeter, measure resistance between terminal 3 (GND) and 1 (Sensor supply).

    Set Value: 1.5 ~ 3.5 kΩ

  3. Measure resistance between terminal 3 (GND) and 2 (Sensor signal output).
  4. Inspect the sensor signal while rotating the throttle valve from C.T. to W.O.T. At this time the sensor signal varies proportional to throttle angle.
  5. Replace the TPS if the sensor signal is out of range and is not directly proportional to throttle angle.

    Tightening Torque: 1.5 ~ 2.5 Nm (0.15 ~ 0.25 kg.m, 1.1 ~ 1.8 lb.ft)
