Signal Circuit Inspection
- Check for open in harness
- Ignition "OFF"
- Disconnect TPS sensor connector.
- Ignition "ON" & Engine "OFF"
- Measure voltage between terminal 1 of sensor harness connector and chassis ground.
Specification: approximately 5V
- 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
- Check for short to power in harness
- Ignition "OFF"
- Disconnect TPS sensor connector and PCM connector.
- Ignition "ON" & Engine "OFF"
- Measure resistance between terminal 1 and 3 of sensor harness connector.
Specification: infinite
- Is measure resistance within Specification?
YES
- Go to "GROUND CIRCUIT INSPECTION " procedure.
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.
