2. Using ohmmeter, check resistance between terminals under each condition.
If check result is not satisfactory, replace

TP sensor. TP sensor specifications
Between "1" and "3" terminals: 4.0 - 6.0 kOhm
Between "2" and "3" terminals: 0.02 - 6.0 kOhm (Varying linearly according to throttle valve opening)

3. Connect TP sensor coupler securely.
4. Connect negative cable (-) to battery.
