TP Sensor Adjustment

  1. Disconnect TP sensor harness connector. Insert 0.018" (0.45 mm) shim thickness gauge between throttle lever and throttle stop screw.
  2. Connect an ohmmeter between terminals "A" and "B" of TP sensor connector. See Fig 1 . Loosen TP sensor mounting bolts and turn TP sensor fully clockwise. Turn TP sensor counterclockwise slowly to find position where ohmmeter reading changes from infinity to zero ohms. Tighten TP sensor mounting bolts at that position.
  3. Ensure continuity does not exist between terminals "A" and "B" when 0.024" (0.60 mm) shim thickness gauge is inserted between throttle lever and throttle stop screw.
  4. Ensure continuity exists between terminals "A" and "B" when 0.012" (0.30 mm) shim thickness gauge is inserted between throttle lever and throttle stop screw.
  5. If continuity is not as specified in steps 3) and 4), TP sensor zero adjustment is incorrect. Start adjustment sequence again. If results are the same after readjusting, replace TP sensor. After final adjustment is completed, reconnect TP sensor connector.

THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR RESISTANCE (1)

Application Ohms
Between Terminals "A" & "B"
With .012" (.30 mm) Clearance At Stop Screw 0-3000
With .024" (.60 mm) Clearance At Stop Screw Infinity
Between Terminals "A" & "D" 2870-5330
Between Terminals "A" & "C"
At Idle 130-10,930
At Wide Open Throttle (2) 2020-14,640
(1) See Fig 1 for terminal identification.
(2) There should be more than 2000 ohms difference between idle and wide open throttle resistance.
NOTE: See PIN VOLTAGE CHARTS article and appropriate wiring diagrams in WIRING DIAGRAMS article for PCM connector and wire terminal identification.
