With Manual Transaxle

Special Service Tool (Engine Signal Monitor):




Adjustment Using the SST (Engine signal monitor)
1. Verify that the throttle valve is fully closed.
2. Connect the SSTs to the PCM as shown.
3. Disconnect the throttle position sensor connector.
4. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

Throttle Position Sensor:




5. Using a voltmeter, measure the voltage at connector side terminal A.

Specification: 4.5-5.5 V

6. Reconnect the throttle position sensor connector.

Throttle Position Sensor Attaching Screws:




7. Loosen the sensor mounting screws.
8. Adjust the sensor output voltage by rotating the sensor.

Throttle Position Sensor Specifications (Closed Throttle):




9. Tighten the sensor mounting screws.

Tightening torque: 1.6-2.3 Nm (14-21 in.lbs.)

Throttle Position Sensor Specifications (Wide Open Throttle):




10. Fully open the throttle valve and verify that the PCM terminal voltage are within the specification.
11. Disconnect the SST.
12. If not as specified, replace the throttle position sensor.

Using the SST (NGS)
1. Verify that the throttle valve is closed throttle position.

Special Service Tool New Generation Star Tester Connected to Data Link Connector 2:




2. Connect the SSTs to the data link connector 2.
