DQ14 - Check TP Sensor Adjustment
NOTE: Two people are required to perform this procedure.- Perform Key On Engine Off (KOEO) self test while holding the throttle wide open (WOT).
- After the last service code has been displayed, remain in self test.
Fuel Pump:
Fuel Pump:
- While in self test, place a 0.515 inch gauge block (Rotunda T83T-7B200AH between the fuel pump lever travel screw and gauge boss.
- Cycle the Overdrive Cancel Switch (OCS) once.
- Observe Self Test Output (STO) of the scanner for:
- A constant tone, solid light, or "STO LO" readout means the Throttle Position (TP) sensor adjustment is within range. Cycle the OCS to get out of test.
- A beeping tone, flashing light, or "STO LO" erratic readout (4 per second) indicates adjustment is required.
- A beeping tone, flashing light, or "STO LO" erratic readout (1 per second) indicates adjustment is required.
- If signal is undetectable, the TP sensor may have a worn internal substrate. Check for this by moving the throttle and observing signal.
Fuel Pump:
- If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
- If TP sensor and bracket screws are tight and there are no signs of wear between mounted parts, loosen TP sensor attachment screws and rotate sensor until a constant signal is received. Tighten TP sensor screws and remove gauge block. Repeat quick test.
- If bracket shows signs of wear due to movement or vibration, remove epoxy from TP sensor bracket screw heads. Loosen those screws and turn TP sensor/bracket assembly to get within range, then tighten screws and apply epoxy to the screw heads. Remove gauge block and repeat quick test.
