Throttle Position Sensor: Testing and Inspection
THROTTLE POSITION (TP) SENSOR INSPECTION[L3]
CAUTION: This inspection procedure cannot be completed correctly if the accelerator pedal position sensor has a malfunction. Before
performing this procedure, verify that any one of the DTCs (P2122, P2123, P2127, P2128, P2138) related to the accelerator pedal position
sensor is not detected.
NOTE: Before performing the following inspection, make sure to follow the troubleshooting flowchart. (See FOREWORD[L3].)
1. Verify that no DTC related to APP sensor has been detected.
-
If any DTCs related to APP sensor have been detected, perform the DTC inspection. (See DTC TABLE[L3].) See: Testing and
Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code Descriptions
2. Connect the M-MDS to the DLC-2.
3. Turn the ignition switch to ON position.
4. Select TP1 or TP2 PID (percentage) on the MMDS.
5. Verify that the TP1 or TP2 PID is within the specification when the accelerator pedal not depressed. (See PCM INSPECTION[L3]). See: Testing
and Inspection/Scan Tool Testing and Procedures/PCM Inspection
6. Operate the accelerator pedal and verify that the TP1 or TP2 PID (percentage) changes as shown in the following graph.
-
If not verified, perform the "Circuit Open/Short Inspection".
-
If there is no open or short circuit, replace the throttle body.
