Technical Background
The "old style" Throttle Position (TP) sensor -G69- has separate connector housings to the Transmission Control Module (TCM) -J217- harness.
In the "new style" TP sensor, see Required Parts and Tools, the Engine Control Module (ECM) -J220- harness is replaced by an ECM connector
housing only.
Production Solution
N/A
Service
If the TP sensor is replaced with a new sensor, see Required Parts and Tools (arrow), it requires a wiring harness modification, which:
-
splices signal wire (terminal 2) of wire harness from TCM connector at TP sensor into signal wire (terminal 2) of wire harness from ECM
connector at TP sensor, and
-
terminates unused wiring from TCM connector (terminal 1 - power) and terminal 3 - ground.
-
Install new TP sensor -G69- using two M4 x 12 Phillips-head screws, see Required Parts and Tools.See also Repair Group 24 Throttle Position
(TP) Sensor, replacing.
-
Remove terminal from Position 2 in (three-wire) TP sensor connector on throttle body.
-
Locate repair wire (with replacement terminal that matches terminal from TP sensor connector) in the Wiring Harness Repair Kit.See Required
Parts and Tools.
-
Install repair wire into Position 2 of the (three-wire) TP sensor connector and install appropriate seal (over wire) into connector housing.
-
Cut repair wire approximately 75 mm from connector.
-
Strip insulation and install (crimp) a red splice connector, see Required Parts and Tools, to the repair wire, using an appropriate crimping tool
from the Wiring Harness Repair Kit.
-
Remove tape as necessary from ECM and TCM wire harnesses leading to TP sensor.
-
Remove terminal and strip insulation from ECM signal wire (Position 2 of 3-wire connector housing).
-
Remove terminal and strip insulation from TCM signal wire (Position 2 of 4-wire connector housing).
