Is there about 5 V?
YES - Go to step 11.
NO - Go to step 19.
11. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
12. On the sensor side, measure resistance between TP sensor 3P connector terminals No.2 (No.1)* and No.3 (No.2)* with the throttle fully closed.
Is there about 0.50 - 0.9 kOhm?
YES - Go to step 13.
NO - Go to step 29.
13. On the sensor side, measure resistance between TP sensor 3P connector terminals No.1 (No.2)* and No.2 (No.3)* with the throttle fully closed.
Is there about 5.0 kOhm?
YES - Go to step 14.
NO - Go to step 29.
14. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.
15. Disconnect ECM/PCM connector A (31P).
16. On the wire harness side, check for continuity between TP sensor 3P connector terminal No.2 and body ground.
Is there continuity?
YES - Repair short in the wire between the TP sensor and ECM/PCM (A29), then go to step 30.
NO - Go to step 17.
17. Connect ECM/PCM connector terminal A29 to body ground with a jumper wire.
18. On the wire harness side, check for continuity between TP sensor 3P connector terminal No.2 and body ground.
Is there continuity?
YES - Go to step 34.
NO - Repair open in the wire between the TP sensor and ECM/PCM (A29), then go to step 30.
19. Measure voltage between ECM/PCM connector terminals A20 and A23.
Is there about 5 V?
YES - Repair open in the wire between the ECM/PCM (A20) and the TP sensor, then go to step 30.
NO - Go to step 34.
20. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
21. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.
22. Disconnect ECM/PCM connectors A (31P) and E (31P).
23. Disconnect the connectors from these sensors:
- MAP sensor
- TP sensor
- FTP sensor
- Input shaft (mainshaft) speed sensor
- Output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor
24. Check for continuity between body ground and ECM/PCM connector terminals A20, A21, and E5 individually.
Is there continuity?
YES - Repair short in the wire between the ECM/PCM (A20, A21, or E5) and each sensor, then go to step 30.
NO - Go to step 25.
25. Reconnect ECM/PCM connectors A (31P) and E (31P).
26. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
27. Measure voltage between ECM/PCM connector terminal A20 and body ground.
Is there about 5 V?
YES - Go to step 28.
NO - Go to step 34.
28. Continue to monitor voltage at ECM/PCM connector terminal A20 while reconnecting the following sensors, one at a time.
- MAP sensor
- TP sensor
- FTP sensor
- Input shaft (mainshaft) speed sensor
- Output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor
Did the voltage drop to about 0 V?
YES - Replace the sensor that caused the voltage to drop, then go to step 31.
NO - Go to step 34.
29. Replace the throttle body.
30. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
31. Reset the ECM/PCM with the HDS.
32. Do the ECM/PCM idle learn procedure.
33. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.
Are any Temporary DTCs or DTCs indicated?
YES - If DTC P0122 is indicated, check for poor connections or loose terminals at the TP sensor and the ECM/PCM, then go to step 1. If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs are indicated go to the indicated DTC's troubleshooting.
NO - Troubleshooting is complete.
34. Update the ECM/PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good ECM/PCM.
35. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.
Are any Temporary DTCs or DTCs indicated?
YES - If DTC P0122 is indicated, check for poor connections or loose terminals at the TP sensor and the ECM/PCM, then go to step 1. If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs are indicated, go to the indicated DTC's troubleshooting.
NO - If the ECM/PCM was updated, troubleshooting is complete. If the ECM/PCM was substituted, replace the original ECM/PCM.
