Component Inspection
- Ignition "OFF"
- Disconnect TPS connector.
- Measure resistance between terminals 1 and 2 of the sensor connector (Component side).
- Specification: Approx. 1.6~2.4 kΩ at all throttle position
- With still TPS connector disconnected, measure resistance between terminals 1 and 3 of the sensor connector (Component side).
- Operate the throttle valve slowly from the idle position to the full open position and check the resistance changes smoothly in proportion with the throttle valve opening angle.
- Specification: 0.71~1.38 kΩ at closed throttle valve, 2.2~3.4 kΩ at wide open throttle
- Is resistance within the specification?
YES
- Check for poor connection between ECM and component: backed out terminal, improper mating, broken locks or poor terminal to wire connection. Repair as necessary and go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.
NO
- Check TPS for contamination, deterioration, or damage. Substitute with a known-good TPS and check for proper operation. If the problem is corrected, replace TPS and then go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.
