Pathfinder 4WD V6-3.3L (VG33E) (1996)
Throttle Position Sensor: Adjustments
ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE REVISED BY TSB 99-053A
1. Check fast idle cam (FIC) function, if equipped. When done, make sure the engine is at normal operating temperature and the fast idle cam (if
equipped) has released. Then turn the engine off.
2. Disconnect the harness connector (see Figure 1) from the closed throttle position switch portion of the throttle position sensor (TPS).
3. Connect an ohm meter across the terminals for the closed throttle position switch (see Figure 2). There should be continuity across the terminals
with the throttle closed.
NOTE: Do not touch the throttle drum when checking the closed throttle position switch signal or continuity. Doing so may cause an incorrect
adjustment.
4. Refer to the chart and select the correct thickness feeler gauges for your vehicle.
