Output Voltage
NOTE: Needle adapters,

"break-out" harness will be required on the multime-
ter leads as the following tests are made with the sen-
sor connected.
1. Connect the three-wire plug to the sensor; then
remove the right-side mounting screw securing the
sensor to the rear frame.
CD707
2. Install the needle adapters to the multimeter leads;
then select DC Voltage on the multimeter.
3. Connect the red tester lead to the blue/brown wire
(B) and the black tester lead to the black/yellow wire
(A); then turn the ignition switch ON and observe the
meter. The meter should read 0.3-2.9 DC volt.
CD705B
4. Tilt the sensor 60° or more to the left and right
observing the meter. The meter should read 3.0-8.0
DC volts after approximately one second in the tilted
position. If the meter readings are not as specified,
the tilt sensor is defective.

THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR (TPS)
Component data can be retrieved using the CATT II. Uti-
lize the Sensor Data screen.
Verifying TPS Adjustment Tool
Before using the TPS adjustment tool, verify its battery
condition. The battery used in the tool is a 9-volt battery.
To check battery condition, use a digital volt/ohmmeter
set on DC volt scale. Test between the adjustment tool
black and red jacks. Insert the red lead of the digital volt-
meter into the red jack of the adjustment tool and the
black lead of the digital voltmeter into the black jack of
the adjustment tool. The green power light of the ana-
lyzer should now be illuminated. If voltage is found
below 4.9 volts, replace the battery.
 NOTE: The Test Harness must be plugged into the
analyzer for testing voltage. Always verify battery
voltage is at least 4.9 DC volts before testing TPS.
Testing
1. Remove the seat, side covers, front rack, and front
body panel (see Steering/Body/Controls); then
remove the air filter assembly.
2. Disconnect the TPS connector plug.
