MX-6 V6-2496cc 2.5L DOHC (1996)
Throttle Position Sensor: Testing and Inspection
THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR INSPECTION
Closed throttle position switch
1. Verify that the throttle valve is at the closed throttle position.
2. Disconnect the throttle position sensor connector.
3. Check for continuity between throttle position sensor connector terminals C and D by using an ohmmeter.
4. If no continuity, adjust the throttle position sensor.
5. Insert a O.5O mm (0.020 in.) feeler gauge between the throttle adjusting screw (TAS) and the throttle lever. Verify that there is no continuity.
6. If there is continuity, adjust the throttle position sensor.
Throttle Position Sensor
Using SSTs (Engine Signal Monitor)
1. Remove the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
SST
2. Connect the Special Service Tools (SST)s to the PCM.
3. Verify that the throttle valve is at the closed throttle position.
4. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
5. Measure the PCM terminal 3B voltage by using a voltmeter.
Specifications:
Closed throttle position: 0.1-1.1 V
Wide open throttle: 2.8-4.5 V
(Verify that the voltage increase Is directly proportioned to the throttle valve opening angle.)
6. If not as specified, adjust the throttle position sensor.
