Then conduct the following diagnostic procedure:
^
The vehicle must be idling (with all accessories turned off)
^
Push on the side of the TPS connector, towards the dash panel. The force used should be firm enough to slightly deflect the TPS housing, but
not enough to damage or break anything.
^
If the TPS is not operating properly, the engine will surge in response to your push.
^
If the Hi-Scan Pro or HDS is used to record the TPS output, the above procedure will show that the TPS output increases toward 5V when the
connector is pushed.
2.
If the ECM has a TPS related code stored (with or without the MIL on), replace the TPS.
