Signal Circuit Inspection

  1. Check for open in harness
    1. Ignition "OFF"
    2. Disconnect TPS sensor connector.
    3. Ignition "ON" & Engine "OFF"
    4. Measure voltage between terminal 1 of sensor harness connector and chassis ground.

      Specification: approximately 5V

    5. Is measure voltage within Specification?

      YES 

      • Go to "Check for short to power in harness" below.

      NO 

      • Open circuit or short circuit to chassis ground between TPS harness connector and signal circuit.
      • Open circuit between TPS harness connector and PCM harness connector.
      • Repair as necessary and then go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.
        NOTE: In case, when the TPS connector is disconnected, the voltage of TPS terminal 1 is 0 V.
        • Possible cause: Open or short between terminal 16 of PCM and Terminal 1 of TPS
  2. Check for short to power in harness
    1. Ignition "OFF"
    2. Disconnect TPS sensor connector and PCM connector.
    3. Ignition "ON" & Engine "OFF"
    4. Measure resistance between terminal 1 and 3 of sensor harness connector.

      Specification: infinite

    5. Is measure resistance within Specification?

      YES 

      NO 

      • Short circuit between reference voltage (5V) circuit and signal circuit.
      • Repair as necessary and then go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.
        NOTE: When terminal 1 and 2 of TPS is shorted, the resistance goes below 1Ω.
