Using Voltmeter
- Disconnect the throttle position sensor connector.
- Measure resistance between terminal 3 (sensor ground) and terminal 1 (sensor power).
Standard value : 3.5~6.5 kΩ
- If the resistance is out of standard value above, replace the throttle position sensor.
Tightening torque:
1.5~2.5 Nm (15~25 kg.cm, 1.1~1.8 lb.ft)
- Connect a pointer type voltmeter between terminal 3 (sensor ground) and terminal 2 (TPS main).
- Operate the throttle valve slowly from the idle position to the full open position and check the voltage increases smoothly in proportion with the throttle valve opening angle.
- If the voltage fails to change smoothly, replace TPS.
- Connect a pointer type voltmeter between terminal 3 (sensor ground) and terminal 4 (TPS sub).
- Operate the throttle valve slowly from the idle position to the full open position and check the voltage decreases smoothly in proportion with the throttle valve opening angle
- If the voltage fails to change smoothly, replace TPS.
