Component Inspection
- Check TPS
- Measure resistance between terminal 1 and 2 of sensor connector (To sensor side)
- Measure resistance between terminal 2 and 3 of sensor connector (To sensor side)
Specification: terminal 1 and 2, terminal 2 and 3
Close: 0.71~1.38kΩ , 1.6~2.4kΩ
Open: 2.2~3.4kΩ
- Does each resistance indicate continuity circuit?
YES
- Go to "Check PCM" below.
NO
- Open circuit TPS.
- Repair as necessary and then go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.
- Check PCM
The purpose of checking PCM is to determine whether there is any malfunction of PCM.
- Ignition "OFF"
- Connect scan tool and Engine "ON "
- Select simulation function on scan tool.
- Simulate voltage at terminal 1 of TPS sensor signal connector.
- Verify TPS voltage to change while raising or lowering simulation voltage with scan tool within 0.5~3.5 V
Specification: If the data is changeable as simulation voltage changes, it's OK
- Is TPS signal value changed according to simulation voltage?
YES
- Check TPS for contamination, deterioration, or damage. Clean TPS with suitable cleaner as necessary and let air dry before reinstalling. If problem still exists, 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
NO
- Substitute with a known-good PCM and check for proper operation. If the problem is corrected, replace PCM and then go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.
- Check TPS for contamination, deterioration, or damage. Clean TPS with suitable cleaner as necessary and let air dry before reinstalling. If problem still exists, Substitute with a known-good TPS and check for proper operation.
