See Fig 1, Fig 2 or Fig 3 . Resistance should be 4.2-5.2 ohms at 68°F (20°C). If resistance is not 4.2-5.2 ohms, replace throttle control motor. If resistance is as specified, go to next step.
  2. Measure resistance between terminals No. 1 (M+) and 4 (M-) at throttle control motor connector. See Fig 1, Fig 2 or Fig 3 . Resistance should be .3-100.0 ohms at 68°F (20°C). If resistance is not .3-100.0 ohms, replace throttle control motor.
