With Automatic Transaxle
THROTTLE-POSITION SENSORInspection Of Resistance
1. Disconnect the throttle position sensor connector.
2. Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between throttle position sensor terminals A and C.
Resistance: 4-6 kOhms
3. If not as specified, replace the throttle position sensor.
4. Reconnect the throttle position sensor connector.
Inspection Of Output Voltage
Using the SST (104 Pin Breakout Box)
1. Connect the SST to the PCM as shown.
2. Turn ignition switch to ON.
3. Measure voltage at PCM terminal 89 under the following conditions.
4. Disconnect the SST.
5. If not as specified, adjust the throttle position sensor.
Using The SST (NGS)
1. Connect the SSTs to the data link connector-2.
2. Select the "PID/DATA MONITOR AND RECORD" function of NGS.
3. Select TPS on the SST display.
4. Measure the TPS output voltage under the following conditions.
5. Disconnect the SSTs.
6. If not as specified, adjust the throttle position sensor.
Adjustment
Using The SST (104 Pin Breakout Box)
1. Verify that the throttle valve is fully closed.
2. Connect the SST to the PCM as shown.
3. Disconnect the throttle position sensor connector.
4. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
5. Using a voltmeter, measure the voltage at connector side terminal A.
Specification: 4.5-5.5 V
6. Reconnect the throttle position sensor connector.
7. Loosen the sensor mounting screws.
8. Adjust the sensor output voltage by rotating the sensor.
Specification (Closed Throttle Position)
9. Tighten the sensor mounting screws.
Tightening torque: 1.6-2.3 Nm (14-21 in.lbs.)
10. Fully open the throttle valve and verify that the PCM terminal voltage are within the specification.
Specification (Wide Open Throttle)
11. Disconnect the SST.
12. If not as specified, replace the throttle position sensor.
Using The SST (NGS)
1. Verify that the throttle valve is closed throttle position.
2. Connect the SSTs to the data link connector-2.
3. Disconnect the throttle position sensor connector.
4. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
5. Using a voltmeter measure the voltage at connector side terminal A.
Specification: 4.5-5.5 V
6. Reconnect the throttle position sensor connector.
7. Loosen the sensor mounting screws.
8. Select the "RID/DATA MONITOR AND RECORD" function of NGS.
9. Select the TPS on the NGS.
10. Adjust the TPS output voltage by rotating the sensor.
Specification (Closed Throttle Position)
11. Tighten the sensor mounting screws.
Tightening torque: 1.6-2.3 Nm (14-21 in.lbs.)
12. Wide open throttle and verify that the TPS terminal volt- age are within the specification.
Specification (Wide Open Throttle)
