TP Sensor Adjustment

NOTE: Ensure basic idle speed is set to specification before adjusting TP sensor. See BASIC IDLE SPEED  under IDLE SPEED & MIXTURE. Perform all adjustments with engine at normal operating temperature, front wheels in straight-ahead position, cooling fan and all accessories off, and transmission in Park or Neutral.
  1. Disconnect TP sensor connector. Using jumper wires, connect an external ohmmeter between TP sensor terminals No. 3 and 4.
  2. Loosen TP sensor mounting screws and rotate TP sensor fully counterclockwise. Ensure there is continuity between terminals No. 3 and 4. Rotate TP sensor clockwise until there is no continuity and tighten screws. Install Test Harness (MB991348 ) between TP sensor and harness connector.
  3. Turn ignition on. Using external voltmeter, measure TP sensor output voltage between terminals No. 2 and 4. If voltage is not .4-1.0 volt, check harness and sensor. See DTC P0120 in TESTS W/CODES - 2.4L article.
