Throttle Position Sensor: Service and Repair

Throttle Position Sensor:

REMOVAL

1. Disconnect the battery ground cable (14301).

2. Remove the air cleaner to intake manifold tube (9B697).

3. Disconnect the Throttle Position (TP) sensor electrical connector.

4. Remove the two TP sensor screws.

5. Remove the TP sensor.

INSTALLATION

1. Position the TP sensor on the throttle body (9E926). Ensure that rotary tangs on the TP sensor are in proper alignment and the wires are pointing down.

CAUTION: Slide the rotary tangs of the TP sensor, rotated 90 degrees clockwise from their final installed position, into place over the throttle shaft blade, and then rotate the TP sensor counterclockwise ONLY to the installed position. Failure to install the TP sensor in this manner may result in excessive idle speeds.

2. Secure the TP sensor to the throttle body assembly with the two TP sensor screws. Tighten the TP sensor screws to 2.8-3.4 Nm (25-30 in lb).

NOTE: The TP sensor is not adjustable.

3. Connect the TP sensor electrical connector.

4. Install the air cleaner to intake manifold tube.

5. Connect the battery ground cable.
