VOLTMETER
Circuit Test (Montero Sport Only)
1) Remove multi-meter assembly from top of dashboard. Check
voltage between ground and multi-meter harness-side connector terminal
No. 10 (Red/Black wire). If voltage reading is about 12 volts, go to
step 4). If voltage reading is not about 12 volts, go to next step.
2) Check harness connector to multi-meter assembly. Repair as
necessary. If connector is okay, check circuit between multi-meter
harness connector and fusible link No. 6. See WIRING DIAGRAMS. Repair
as necessary. If circuit is okay, go to next step.
3) Turn ignition on. Check voltage between ground and multi-
meter harness-side connector terminal No. 11 (Black/White wire). See
WIRING DIAGRAMS . If voltage reading is about 12 volts, problem is
intermittent. If voltage reading is not about 12 volts, go to next
step.
4) Check harness connector to multi-meter assembly. Repair as
necessary. If connector is okay, check circuit between multi-meter
assembly harness connector and ignition switch. See WIRING DIAGRAMS.
Repair as necessary. If circuit is okay, go to next step.
5) Turn ignition off. Check continuity between ground and
multi-meter assembly harness-side connector terminal No. 3 (Black
wire). If continuity is present, problem is intermittent. If
continuity is not present, go to next step.
6) Check harness connector to multi-meter assembly. Repair as
necessary. If connector is okay, check multi-meter assembly harness
connector ground circuit. See WIRING DIAGRAMS. Repair as necessary. If
circuit is okay, replace multi-meter assembly.

INTRODUCTION
NOTE: Unless stated otherwise in testing procedures, perform all
voltage tests using a Digital Volt-Ohmmeter (DVOM) with a
minimum 10-megohm input impedance. Voltage readings may vary
slightly due to battery condition or charging rate.
Pin voltage charts are supplied to reduce diagnostic time.
Checking pin voltages at the PCM connector determines whether it is
receiving and transmitting proper voltage signals. Diagnostic charts
may also help determine if PCM harness is shorted or open.
TEST PROCEDURE
CAUTION: Shorting positive DVOM lead between connector terminal and
ground could damage vehicle wiring, sensor and PCM.
1) If necessary, remove Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to
access harness connector. For PCM location, see PCM LOCATION table.
Leave PCM connectors connected.
2) Using DVOM, backprobe terminals. Connect positive DVOM
lead to appropriate PCM terminal. Connect negative DVOM lead to PCM
ground terminal. For PCM terminal identification, see appropriate
chart. See Figs. 1-24.
3) All measurements are applicable to vehicle at normal
operating temperature at sea level. Unless otherwise noted, engine is
idling when specification requires engine running. Ensure transmission
shift selector is in Neutral or Park (as applicable). If DVOM displays\
measurement that is not within specification, see G - TESTS W/CODES
article.

INTRODUCTION
Sensor operating range information can help determine if a
sensor is out of calibration. An out-of-calibration sensor may not set
a diagnostic trouble code, but it may cause driveability problems. For
sensors not listed in this article, see G - TESTS W/CODES article.
NOTE: Unless stated otherwise in test procedure, perform all
voltage tests using a Digital Volt-Ohmmeter (DVOM) with a
minimum 10-megohm input impedance. For connector terminal
identification, see TERMINAL IDENTIFICATION in

Throttle Position (TP) Sensor
Measure total and variable resistance between specified TP
sensor terminals. See Fig. 5 or 6. See
TP SENSOR TEST TERMINAL IDENTIFICATION table. Total resistance should
be 3500-6500 ohms. Variable resistance should change smoothly between
3500 and 6500 ohms as throttle valve is moved from closed to wide open
throttle.
