2. Connect throttle position sensor and closed throttle position switch harness connector.
3. Start engine and warm it up sufficiently.
4. Disconnect IACV-AAC valve sub-harness connector.
5. Disconnect closed throttle position switch harness connector.
6. Check closed throttle position switch OFF - ON speed with circuit tester, closing throttle valve manually.

M/T: Idle speed +250 ±150 rpm
A/T: Engine speed (at idle in "N" position) +250 ±150 rpm




7. If NG, set closed throttle position switch OFF - ON speed to the specified value by turning throttle position sensor body. Connect circuit tester with terminals (a) and (b) on closed throttle position switch side and find out OFF - ON point.
8. Tighten throttle position sensor installing bolts carefully after setting so that throttle position sensor does not move.
