Throttle Position (TP) Sensor

NOTE: Faults in TP sensor circuit may set Code 43. To test system, see CODE 43 diagnostic procedure in the TESTS W/CODES article.

Turn ignition off. Ensure TP sensor wiring harness connector is securely connected. Using a voltmeter, backprobe TP sensor harness connector terminals No. 2 and 3. See Fig 1 . Adjust TP sensor by loosening mounting bolts and rotating sensor body until output voltage is within specification. See TP SENSOR VOLTAGE table.
