Sensor Checking

USING HI-SCAN (PRO)

HI-SCAN FUNCTIONS REFERENCE

Check item Data display Check conditions Throttle valve Test specification
Throttle position sensor (Main) Sensor voltage Ignition switch: ON At idle position 500~ 1000 mV
Open slowly Increases with valve opening
Open wide 4200 - 4800 mV

USING VOLTMETER

  1. Disconnect the throttle position sensor connector.
  2. Measure resistance between terminal 3 (sensor ground) and terminal 1 (sensor power).

    Standard value  : 3.5 ~ 6.5 kΩ

  3. Connect a pointer type ohmmeter between terminal 3 (sensor ground) and terminal 2 (sensor output).
  4. Operate the throttle valve slowly from the idle position to the full open position and check that the resistance changes smoothly in proportion with the throttle valve opening angle.
  5. If the resistance is out of specification, or fails to change smoothly, replace the throttle position sensor.

    Tightening torque 

    TP Sensor: 1.5-2.5 Nm (15-25 kg.cm, 1.1-1.8 lb.ft)
