Throttle Full Close Switch: Component Tests and General Diagnostics
Troubleshooting Hints
If the Closed Throttle Position Switch harness and individual part check results are normal but the Closed Throttle Position Switch output is abnormal,
the following troubles are suspected.
1. Poorly adjusted accelerator cable or auto-cruise control cable.
2. Poorly adjusted fixed SAS.
Sensor Inspection
1. With the Accelerator Pedal released, check to be sure that the throttle valve lever or the fixed SAS is pushed.
NOTE: If it is not pushed, adjust the fixed SAS. Refer to Fuel Delivery And Air Induction/Adjustments. See: Fuel Delivery and Air
Induction/Idle Speed/Adjustments/Fixed Speed Adjustment Screw (SAS)
Throttle Position Sensor
2. Disconnect the Throttle Position Sensor connector.
Throttle Position Sensor Test Connection
3. Check the continuity across the throttle position sensor connector terminal 4 (Sensor ground) and 3 (Closed Throttle Position Switch).
Accelerator pedal
Continuity
Depressed
Non-conductive (infinite ohms)
Released
Conductive (0 ohms)
NOTE: If there is no continuity when the accelerator pedal is returned, loosen the Throttle Position Sensor installation screw; then, after turning
all the way in the counterclockwise direction, check again.
4. Replace the Throttle Position Sensor (closed throttle position switch incorporated) if there is a malfunction.
