Throttle Sensor (Method With Circuit Tester)

NOTE: Individual difference of the accelerator pedal may not be corrected sufficiently on the ECM side after DTCs were cleared or the battery was removed and installed on the vehicle. Therefore, when the reference voltage is not reached after following the procedure, repeat the ignition switch ON (engine OFF) and ignition switch OFF operations 40 times at intervals of three seconds or more, and then measure the voltage again.
