Throttle Position Switch: Adjustments

1. Disconnect battery negative cable at battery.
2. Remove air cleaner assembly.
3. Disconnect coupler from TS.

Inserting Thickness Gauge:

4. Insert 0.6 mm (0.024 in) thickness gauge between throttle stop screw and throttle lever.
5. Loosen TS screws.

Adjusting Throttle Switch:

6. Connect ohmmeter between A and B terminals.
7. First, turn TS counterclockwise fully and then clockwise gradually to find position where ohmmeter reading changes from 0 (zero, continuity) to (no continuity). Then fix TS at that position by tightening screws to specified torque.

TORQUE VALUE
1.5 - 2.4 Nm (0.15 - 0.24 kg/m, 1.2 - 1.7 lb-ft)

8. Check that there is no continuity between terminals A and B when 0.9 mm (0.035 in) thickness gauge is inserted.
9. Check that there is continuity between terminals A and B when 0.3 mm (0.012 in) thickness gauge is inserted.

If check result is unsatisfactory in steps 8 and 9, it means that installation angle of TS is not adjusted properly. Therefore, start all over again from step 1.


CAUTION: As throttle stop screw is factory adjusted precisely, never adjust it.


10. Connect coupler to TS securely.
11. Install air cleaner assembly.
12. Connect negative cable to battery.
