TP Sensor Adjustment

NOTE: Ensure basic idle speed is set to specification before adjusting TP sensor. See BASIC IDLE SPEED  under IDLE SPEED & MIXTURE. Perform all adjustments with engine at normal operating temperature, front wheels in straight-ahead position, cooling fan and all accessories off, and transmission in Park or Neutral.
  1. TP sensor is not adjustable. Disconnect TP sensor connector. Using external ohmmeter, measure resistance between TP sensor terminals No. 1 and 3. See Fig 1 . If resistance is not 3500-6500 ohms, replace TP sensor.
  2. While slowly rotating throttle valve from idle to full open, measure resistance between TP sensor terminals No. 2 and 3. If resistance does not change smoothly in proportion to throttle opening, replace TP sensor.
