Sidekick 4 Door 4WD L4-1.8L DOHC MFI 16V (1996)
Throttle Position Sensor: Adjustments
1) Warm up engine to normal operating temperature.
2) Check to make sure that fast idle cam and cam follower lever are not in contact with each other. If they are, check fast idle control system.
3) Loosen TP sensor screws.
4) Remove ECM as previously outlined and with couplers connected to ECM, connect digital type voltmeter as shown.
5) Turn TP sensor clockwise or counterclockwise and tighten TP sensor screw at a position where voltage as specified below is obtained at
coupler terminal E33-17.
NOTE: If tech 1 and cartridge are available, it is not necessary to remove ECM. Make an adjustment by using tech 1 while observing TP
sensor voltage.
TP sensor voltage when throttle is fully close: 0.50 i 0.15
Tightening Torque
(a): 2.5 Nm (1.8 lb-ft)
