THROTTLE POSITION (TP) SENSOR INSPECTION [LF, L3]

id0140008027a6

Note

• Perform the following inspection only when directed.

Resistance Inspection

1. Perform the following test only when directed.

• If as specified but TP PID value is out of specification, inspect resistance of TP sensor.

• If not as specified, inspect the following:

2. Disconnect the TP sensor connector.

3. Verify that the resistance between TP sensor terminals A and B changes smoothly while opening and closing the throttle valve slowly.

• If not verified, replace TP sensor.

4. Measure the resistance between TP sensor terminals A and C using an ohmmeter.

• If not as specified, replace the TP sensor.

• If as specified, but TP PID value is out of specification, perform the "Circuit Open/Short Inspection".

Specification

3.2-4.8 kilohms

1. Disconnect the PCM connector. (See PCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [LF, L3].)

2. Inspect the following wiring harnesses for open or short. (Continuity check)

• If there is no continuity, the circuit is open. Repair or replace the harness.

- TP sensor terminal A (harness-side) and PCM terminal 2H (harness-side)

- TP sensor terminal B (harness-side) and PCM terminal 2A (harness-side)

- TP sensor terminal C (harness-side) and PCM terminal 2K (harness-side)

• If there is continuity, the circuit is shorted. Repair or replace the harness.

- TP sensor terminal C (harness-side) and power supply

- TP sensor terminal C (harness-side) and body GND

- TP sensor terminal B (harness-side) and power supply

- TP sensor terminal B (harness-side) and body GND

- TP sensor terminal A (harness-side) and power supply
