Throttle Position Sensor Test Connection

Throttle Position Sensor Test Connection

3. Connect a pointer type ohmmeter between terminal 4 (sensor ground) and terminal 2 (sensor output).
4. Operate the throttle valve slowly from the idle position to the full open position and check that the resistance changes smoothly in proportion with

the throttle valve opening angle.

5. If the resistance is out of specification, or fails to change smoothly, replace the throttle position sensor.
