THROTTLE POSITION (TP) SENSOR INSPECTION[L3]


id0140a7802700

Note
•  Perform the following inspection only when directed.

Voltage Inspection

1.  Verify that no DTC related to APP sensor has been detected.

•  If any DTCs related to APP sensor have been detected, perform the DTC inspection.
(See DTC TABLE[L3].)

2.  Start the engine and warm it up (ECT: more than 80°C {176 °F}).

3.  Turn the ignition switch to ON position (Engine off).

4.  Verify that the PCM terminal 2M and 2I change smoothly while throttle valve is gradually opened.

•  If as verified, go to next step.
•  If not as verified, perform the “Circuit Open/Short Inspection”.
―  If there is no open or short circuit, replace the throttle body.

5.  Verify that the PCM terminal 2M and 2I voltages are as shown in the following table.

•  If voltage is not as following table, perform the “Circuit Open/Short Inspection”.
―  If there is no open or short circuit, replace the throttle body.

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

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


Open circuit

•  If there is no continuity, there is an open circuit. Repair or replace the wiring harness.
―  Throttle body terminal A and PCM terminal 2M
―  Throttle body terminal B and PCM terminal 2K
―  Throttle body terminal C and PCM terminal 2I
―  Throttle body terminal D and PCM terminal 2O


Short circuit

•  If there is continuity, there is a short circuit. Repair or replace the wiring harness.
―  Throttle body terminal A and power supply
―  Throttle body terminal A and body ground
―  Throttle body terminal B and power supply
―  Throttle body terminal B and body ground
―  Throttle body terminal C and power supply
―  Throttle body terminal C and body ground
―  Throttle body terminal D and power supply
