Throttle Position (TP) Sensor Continuity: Adjustment

Turn ignition off. Ensure throttle valve is in closed position. Disconnect TP sensor connector. Connect ohmmeter between terminals "C" and "D" of TP sensor connector. See Fig 1. Insert a feeler gauge of specified thickness between throttle lever and throttle stop screw. See TP SENSOR CONTINUITY (MILLENIA 2.3L) table.
Loosen TP sensor screws. Rotate TP sensor until ohmmeter indicates continuity as specified. See TP SENSOR CONTINUITY (MILLENIA 2.3L) table. Tighten TP sensor screws. Open throttle valve fully a few times. Recheck TP sensor adjustment. If TP sensor is not adjusted as specified, replace TP sensor.
