INSTALLATION
Fig. 30 Throttle Position Sensor Installation
1. The throttle shaft end of the throttle body slides into a socket in the TPS. The socket has two tabs inside it. The throttle shaft rests against the tabs.
When indexed correctly, the TPS can rotate clockwise a few degrees to line up the mounting screw holes with the screw holes in the throttle body.
The TPS has slight tension when rotated into position. If it is difficult to rotate the TPS into position, reinstall the sensor with the throttle shaft on
the other side of the tabs in the socket of the TPS.
2. Install throttle position sensor on throttle shaft. Install mounting screws. Tighten screw to 2 Nm (17 in. lbs.) torque.
3. Connect electrical connector to throttle position sensor.
4. Connect negative cable to battery.
