Checking The Terminal Resistance

  1. Disconnect the throttle position sensor connector.
  2. Measure resistance between the throttle position sensor side connector terminal No. 2 and terminal No. 3. Standard value is 2.0-4.0 kohm. See Fig 1 .
  3. Measure resistance between the throttle position sensor side connector terminal No. 1 and terminal No. 2. See Fig 2 . The normal condition allows the throttle valve to slowly open until fully open from the idle position. It changes smoothly in proportion to the opening angle of the throttle valve.
    4. NOTE: After replacement, the throttle position sensor should be adjusted.
  4. If resistance is outside the standard value, or if it doesn't change smoothly, replace the throttle position sensor.
