THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR (T.P.S.)

INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT

NOTE:
Before adjusting the throttle position sensor, prop-
erly adjust the idle speed.
1. Inspect:
• Throttle position sensor
Inspection steps:
• Disconnect the throttle position sensor coupler.
• Connect the pocket tester (Ω × 1k) to the throt-
tle position sensor coupler.
Positive tester probe → Blue 1
Negative tester probe → Black 2
• Check the throttle position sensor resistance.

"R ":
1
4 ~ 6 kΩ at 20 °C (68 °F)
(Blue – Black)
Out of specification → Replace the throttle posi-
tion sensor.
• Connect the pocket tester (Ω × 1k) to the throt-
tle position sensor coupler.
Positive tester probe → Yellow 3
Negative tester probe → Black 2
• While slowly pushing the throttle check the
throttle position sensor resistance.
