INSPECTING
1. Remove the seat, seat base, and seat back; then dis-
connect the three-wire TPS connector plug.
NOTE: Prior to testing the TPS, inspect the
three-wire plug connector on the main harness
and the three-pin plug on the TPS for contamina-
tion, broken pins, and/or corrosion.
2. Make sure the ignition switch is in the OFF position;
then select the DC Voltage position on the meter.
3. Connect the black tester lead to terminal A and the
red tester lead to terminal B. Turn the ignition switch
to the ON position. The meter should read 4.5-5.5
DC volts.
4. Remove the black tester lead from terminal A and
connect it to terminal C. The meter should read 5.0
DC volts.
NOTE: If the meter does not read as specified,
check for poor connections at the ECU or
open/broken wires in the wiring harness.
