  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)
