4-Cylinder Throttle Position Sensor

NOTE: Throttle Position (TP) sensor is nonadjustable. Use following procedure to check TP sensor calibration. For complete testing of TP sensor and wiring circuit, see appropriate TESTS W/CODES article.

Ensure ignition is off. Disconnect electrical connector from TP sensor mounted on throttle body. Using ohmmeter, check resistance between terminals No. 1 and 3 on TP sensor. See Fig 1 . Replace TP sensor if resistance is not within specification. See 4-CYLINDER TP SENSOR SPECIFICATIONS table.
Using ohmmeter, check resistance between terminals No. 2 and 3 on TP sensor while slowly moving throttle from idle to full throttle. Replace TP sensor if resistance does not change smoothly while opening and closing the throttle.
