THROTTLE POSITION (TP) SENSOR INSPECTION [L3 R.H.D.]

Note

• Before performing the following inspection, make sure to follow the procedure as indicated in the troubleshooting flowchart. (See Troubleshooting Procedure.)

Resistance Inspection

1. Verify the following items:

• Throttle valve closed status

• Accelerator cable play

- If the PID value is not within the specification, even though the items above are normal, perform the following resistance variance inspection.

2. Disconnect the TP sensor connector.

3. Using a tester, verify that the resistance between TP sensor terminals A and B changes moderately corresponding to the throttle valve openings.

• If it can be verified, go to the next step.

• If it cannot be verified, replace the TP sensor.

4. Using a tester, measure the resistance between TP sensor A-C terminals.

• If it is within the specification, perform the Circuit Open/Short Inspection, then repair or replace the malfunctioning part.

• If it is not within the specification, replace the TP sensor.
