SAT142K
DescriptionNBAT0066IThrottle position sensor
The throttle position sensor detects the throttle valve position
and sends a signal to the TCM.
IThrottle position switch
Consists of a wide open throttle position switch and a closed
throttle position switch. The wide open position switch sends
a signal to the TCM when the throttle valve is open at least 1/2
of the full throttle position. The closed throttle position switch
sends a signal to the TCM when the throttle valve is fully
closed.

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) CONFIRMATION
PROCEDURE
NBAT0066S01CAUTION:
Always drive vehicle at a safe speed.
NOTE:
If ªDIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CONFIRMATION PROCE-
DUREº has been previously conducted, always turn ignition
switch ªOFFº and wait at least 5 seconds before conducting
the next test.
After the repair, perform the following procedure to confirm the
malfunction is eliminated.
With CONSULT-II
1) Turn ignition switch ªONº and select ªDATA MONITORº mode
for ªA/Tº with CONSULT-II.
2) Apply vacuum to the throttle opener, then check the following.
