14 RESET THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR IDLE POSITION MEMORY
With CONSULT-II
NOTE:
Always warm up engine to normal operating temperature. If engine is cool, the throttle position sensor idle posi-
tion memory will not be reset correctly.
1. Confirm that proper vacuum is applied. Refer to Test No. 10.
2. Attach blind cap to vacuum port from which vacuum hose to throttle opener was disconnected.
3. Start engine.
4. Warm up engine to normal operating temperature.
5. Select ªTP SW/TP SEN IDLE POSI ADJº in ªWORK SUPPORTº mode.
6. Stop engine. (Turn ignition switch ªOFFº.)
7. Turn ignition switch ªONº and wait at least 5 seconds.
