Throttle Position Sensor:






PROCEDURE
1. Connect a digital multimeter to throttle position sensor terminal "1" to terminal "2" and measure resistance.
2. Insert 0.3 mm (0.12") feeler gage between throttle stop screw and throttle lever.
3. With retaining screws loosely installed, turn throttle position sensor fully clockwise, then slowly counterclockwise just until digital multimeter indicates "0" ohms (continuity, switch closed). Tighten retaining screws to 2.0 Nm (18 lb in).
4. Remove feeler gage. Digital multimeter should still indicate "0" ohms (continuity, switch closed).
5. Insert 0.9 mm (0.035") feeler gage between throttle stop screw and throttle lever. Digital multimeter should now indicate an open circuit (no continuity, switch open).
6. Connect throttle position sensor electrical connector.
