OPERATION
aThe throttle position sensor converts the throttle position opening into a voltage and inputs it to the
engine control module, which
then controls
the
fuel injection, based on the input signal.
l The
5V power in the engine control module is
supplied to the throttle position sensor. It flows
through the resistor in the sensor and is then
grounded in the engine control module.
lAs the throttle valve shaft rotates from the idle position to wide open position, the resistancebetween the variable resistor terminal of the
throttle position sensor and the ground terminal increases. As a result, the voltage at the throttle
position sensor variable resistance terminal also
increases.
INSPECTION
Using Scan Tool TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
Hint 1: The throttle position sensor signal is more important in the control of automatic trans-
axle than in the engine control. Shifting
shock and other troubles will be caused if
this sensor is faulty.
Hint 2: If the output voltage of the throttle position
sensor is out of specification, adjust the
sensor and check the voltage again.
If there is an evidence of disturbed fixed SAS
setting, adjust the fixed SAS.

(1) Disconnect the throttle position sensor connector.
(2)Measure the resistance between the throttle position sensor
side connector terminal @ and terminal @.

(3)Measure the resistance between the throttle position sensor side connector terminal
@ and terminal @.

(4)If the resistance is outside the standard value, or if it doesn’t
change smoothly,
replace the throttle position sensor.

For the throttle position sensor adjustment procedure, refer
to
P.13-136.

OPERATION
l The
IAC valve position sensor converts the
changes (increase or decrease) in the valve
position of the idle air control motor into pulse
signals and inputs these signals to the engine
control module. The engine control module de-
termines the valve position from these signals and also controls the idle air control motor.
l
5V power is supplied to the IAC valve position
sensor from the engine control module, and the
ground connection is positioned in the engine
control module.
l
5V power is applied to the two IAC valve posi-
tion sensor output terminals from the engine control module. When the
IAC valve position is
changed (increased or decreased) by the DC motor inside the idle air control motor, the
IAC
valve position sensor generates a pulse signal
from the opening and closing between the out-
put terminal and the ground. TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
Hint 1: The
IAC valve position sensor is the most
important sensor for controlling the idle
speed. If a malfunction develops when the
engine is idling and the engine load is varied
by turning the air conditioning switch to ON
and OFF, etc., this sensor is probably defec-
tive.

In a new vehicle [driven approximately 500 km (300 miles) or less], th\

standard value by approximately 20 steps.
