Is the measured resistance within specification?
YES
1. Go to " 2 Check ECM" as follows
NO
1. 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.

Check ECM
1. Key "OFF".
2. Connect the scan tool and select "Simulation SCAN" in the menu.
3. Connect channel A of scan tool with terminal 1 of TPS harness connector, and key "ON".
4. Simulate voltage at signal line.

5. Does the signal output of TPS change according to simulation voltage?
  YES
  1. Thoroughly check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or damage. Repair or replace as necessary and go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.
  NO
  1. Substitute with a known - good ECM and check for proper operation.
    If the problem is corrected, replace ECM and go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.
