Throttle Position Sensor Circuit Check
- Ensure ignition is off. Disconnect TCU harness connectors. See Figure . Turn ignition on. Using DVOM, measure voltage between terminals No. 3 and 7 of 14-pin connector. See Figure .
- While monitoring voltage, slowly depress accelerator pedal to wide open throttle (WOT). Voltage should increase from 0-12 volts. If voltage is not within specification, go to step 5). If voltage is within specification, go to next step.
- Measure voltage between terminals No. 3 and 8 of 14-pin connector. See Figure . While monitoring voltage, slowly depress accelerator pedal to wide open throttle (WOT). Voltage should increase from 0-12 volts, then decrease from 12-0 volts. If voltage is not within specification, go to step 5). If voltage is within specification, go to next step.
- Measure voltage between terminals No. 3 and 9 of 14-pin connector. See Figure . While monitoring voltage, slowly depress accelerator pedal to wide open throttle (WOT). Voltage should pulse twice from 0-12 volts, then decrease from 12-0 volts. If voltage is not within specification, go to next step. If voltage is within specification, system is okay.
- Inspect TCU and TPS harness connections. Using ohmmeter, check all circuits for continuity and short to ground. See appropriate wiring diagram in WIRING DIAGRAMS . If all circuits are okay, see appropriate repair manual for further TPS diagnostic procedures.
