Inspection Procedures

1. Turn ignition switch to ON position.
2. Using a Hi-Scan (Pro), monitor the TPS signals while slowly opening the throttle.

• Refer to  SPECIFICATIONS   for more information. 

  Is signal within specification and consistent with the normal curve? 

No: Go to next

Yes: Problem is intermittent or was repaired and engine control module memory was not cleared. Proceed with INTERMITTENT PROBLEM PROCEDURE  .

1. Thoroughly check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or damage.

   Are all connectors good? 

Yes: Go to next

No: Repair or replace it.

1. Turn ignition switch to OFF position and disconnect TPS connector.
2. Measure resistance between terminals 1 and 2 of the TPS.
3. Measure resistance between terminals 2 and 3 of the TPS.

• Refer to  SPECIFICATIONS   for more information. 

Is resistance within specification?

Yes: Go to next

No: Replace the TPS.

1. Turn ignition switch to ON position.
2. Measure TPS voltage between terminal 3 of the TPS harness connector and chassis ground.

   • Specification: approximately 5V 

     Is voltage within specification? 

   Yes: Go to next

   No: Repair open or short to chassis ground in harness.

1. Turn ignition switch to OFF position.
2. Measure resistance between terminals 1 and 2 of the TPS.
3. Measure resistance of TPS signal harness between terminal 1 of the TPS harness connector and chassis ground.

• Specification: infinite 

  Does resistance indicate open? 

Yes: Proceed with ECM PROBLEM PROCEDURE  .

No: Repair short or short to chassis ground in harness.
