Component Inspection

  1. Ignition "OFF".
  2. Disconnect TPS connector.
  3. Measure resistance between terminals 1 and 2 of the sensor connector (Component side).

    Specification: Approx. 1.6 ~ 2.4 kohm at all throttle position

  6. Operate the throttle valve slowly from the idle position to the full open position and check the resistance changes smoothly in proportion with the throttle valve opening angle.

    Test Condition: Ignition "OFF"

    Specification: 0.71 ~ 1.38 kohm at closed throttle valve, 2.7 kohm at wide open throttle

  7. Is resistance within the specification?

    YES: 

    • Check for poor connection between ECM and component: backed out terminal, improper mating, broken locks or poor terminal to wire connection. Repair as necessary and go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR  " procedure.

    NO: 

    • Check TPS for contamination, deterioration, or damage. 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.
