Component Inspection

  1. Check TPS
    1. Measure resistance between terminal 1 and 2 of sensor connector (To sensor side)
    2. Measure resistance between terminal 2 and 3 of sensor connector (To sensor side)

      Specification: terminal 1 and 2, terminal 2 and 3

      Close: 0.71~1.38 , 1.6~2.4

      Open: 2.2~3.4

    3. Does each resistance indicate continuity circuit?

      YES 

      • Go to "Check PCM" below.

      NO 

  2. Check PCM

    The purpose of checking PCM is to determine whether there is any malfunction of PCM.

    1. Ignition "OFF"
    2. Connect scan tool and Engine "ON "
    3. Select simulation function on scan tool.
    4. Simulate voltage at terminal 1 of TPS sensor signal connector.
    5. 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

    6. 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.
