OVERALL FUNCTION CHECK
Instead of performing the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Detecting Condition, the following method can be used for checking the function of the throttle position sensor. (The "NG" of this check means the same as the DTC detection.)
1) Start engine and warm it up sufficiently.




2) Turn ignition switch "OFF" and wait for at least 3 seconds.
3) Turn ignition switch "ON".
4) Select "MANU TRIG" and "HI SPEED" in "DATA MONITOR" mode with CONSULT.
5) Select "THRTL POS SEN" and "ABSOL TH/PO SEN" in "DATA MONITOR" mode with CONSULT.
6) Press RECORD on CONSULT SCREEN at the same time accelerator pedal is depressed.




7) Print out the recorded data and make sure the followings:
a) The voltage when accelerator pedal fully released is approximately 0.35-0.65 volts.
b) The voltage rise is linear in response to accelerator pedal depression.
c) The voltage when accelerator pedal fully depressed is approximately 4 volts.
