Throttle Position Sensor: Adjustments
1. Disconnect battery negative cable and disconnect TPS coupler.
2. Loosen TPS screws.
Inserting Thickness Gauge:
3. Insert 0.65 mm (0.025 in) thickness gauge between throttle stop screw and throttle lever.
4. Connect ohmmeter between C and D terminals.
Adjusting TPS:
5. First, turn TPS clockwise fully and then counterclockwise gradually to find position where ohmmeter reading changes from 0 (Zero, continuity) to (no continuity). Then fix TPS at that position by tightening screws to specified torque.
TIGHTENING TORQUE
3.5 N-m (0.35 kg-m, 2.5 lb.-ft)
6. Check that there is no continuity between terminals C and D when 0.9 mm (0.035 in) thickness gauge is inserted.
7. Check that there is continuity between terminals C and D when 0.3 mm (0.012 in) thickness gauge is inserted.
If check result is unsatisfactory in steps 6 and 7, it means that installation angle of TPS is not adjusted properly. Therefore, start all over again from step 1.
CAUTION: As throttle stop screw is factory adjusted precisely don't remove or adjust it.
8. Connect coupler to TPS securely and connect battery negative cable.
