Throttle Position (TP) Sensor On-Vehicle Inspection

Disconnect negative cable (-) at battery and coupler from TP sensor (4).
Using ohmmeter, check resistance between terminals under each condition.
If check result is not satisfactory, replace TP sensor.

TP sensor specifications

Between "1" and "3" terminals: 4.0 - 6.0 kΩ

Between "2" and "3" terminals: 0.02 - 6.0 kΩ (Varying linearly according to throttle valve opening)
