Throttle Position Sensor: Testing and Inspection
Inspection
1. Disconnect the connector from the throttle position sensor.
2. Connect an ohmmeter between the sensor terminals 2 and 3.
3. Verify that the resistance increases linearly according to the throttle angle.
Specification:
4. If the resistance is not as specified, replace the throttle position sensor.
5. Connect the throttle position sensor connector.
6. Reinspect the new throttle position sensor after installation for proper operation.
Voltage Inspection
1. Verify that the throttle is at the closed throttle position.
2. Turn the ignition switch ON.
3. Connect the voltmeter between terminal 1 (YEL/BLK wire) and 2 (GRN/YEL wire) on the throttle position sensor connector.
4. Verify that the throttle valve is at the closed throttle position.
5. Fully open throttle valve and verify that the voltage at terminal 1 is within the specification.
6. If not as specified, replace the throttle position sensor.
