Throttle Position (TP) Sensor
- Disconnect negative battery cable and TP sensor connector. See Fig 1 . Using ohmmeter, check resistance between indicated terminals. See THROTTLE POSITION (TP) SENSOR RESISTANCE table. If resistance is not as specified, adjust TP sensor.
- See ADJUSTMENTS - 1.3L DOHC article in this section. If resistance is not as specified after adjustment, replace TP sensor. For further diagnostic procedures, see TESTS W/CODES - 1.3L DOHC article in this section.
