Throttle Position Sensor: Adjustments

PROCEDURE

1. Adjust Throttle Position Sensor.
- Loosen the 2 set screws of the sensor.
- Insert a 0.40 mm (0.016 in.) thickness gauge. between the throttle stop screw and stop lever.
- Connect the test probe of an ohmmeter to the terminals IDL1 and E2 of the sensor.
- Gradually turn the sensor clockwise until the ohmmeter deflects, and secure the sensor with the 2 set screws.
- Recheck the continuity between terminals IDL1 and E2.

With 0.40 mm (0.016 in) clearance between lever and stop screw you should measure continuity.
With 0.60 mm (0.024 in) clearance between lever and stop screw you should measure NO continuity.


2. Adjust the Sub Throttle Position Sensor (vehicles with TRAC only).
- Loosen the 2 set screws of the sensor.
- Insert a 0.30 mm (0.012 in.) thickness gauge. between the throttle stop screw and Throttle Valve gear.
- Connect the test probe of an ohmmeter to the terminals IDL2 and E2 of the sensor.
- Gradually turn the sensor clockwise until the ohmmeter deflects, and secure the sensor with the 2 set screws.
- Recheck the continuity between terminals IDL2 and E2.

With 0.30 mm (0.012 in) clearance between lever and stop screw you should measure continuity.
With 0.50 mm (0.020 in) clearance between lever and stop screw you should measure NO continuity.
