Check
1.Run engine until normal operating temperature is
reached.
2.Switch off engine and disconnect throttle position
sensor multi-plug.
3.Connect an Ohmmeter across pins 1 and 3 of
multi-plug. Ohmmeter should read between 1K
and 1.05K ohms.
4.Connect Ohmmeter across pins 1 and 2 of
multi-plug. Ohmmeter should read between 850
and 900 ohms.
5.If readings are correct, reconnect multi-plug.
6.If readings are not obtained slacken 2 torx
screws securing sensor.
7.Rotate sensor to obtain correct Ohmmeter
reading, then tighten torx screws.
8.Re-check readings and fit multiplug.
9.If, after adjustment, Ohmmeter readings cannot
be achieved, fit new sensor.
