FUEL SYSTEM (DFI) 3-31

Throttle Sensor (Service Code/Character-11/tPS)

Disconnect the throttle sensor connector and connect the
setting adapter [A] between the harness connector and
throttle sensor connector.

Connect a digital meter to the setting adapter leads.

Special Tool - Throttle Sensor Setting Adapter:

57001

-1521

Throttle Sensor Output Voltage

Connections to Sensor

Meter (+) → G/W lead
Meter (–) → BK/W lead

Measure the sensor output voltage with the idle speed.

Output Voltage at Sensor

Standard: 1.08

1.18 V DC (at idle throttle opening)

CAUTION

Never drop the throttle sensor, especially on a hard
surface. A shock to the sensor can damage it.

After throttle sensor voltage inspection, remove the set-
ting adapter.
If the reading is out of the standard range, inspect the
throttle sensor resistance.
If the output voltage is normal, check the wiring for conti-
nuity (see next diagram).

Resistance Inspection

Turn the ignition switch OFF.

Remove:

Air Filter (see Air Filter Removal)

Disconnect the throttle sensor connector and connect the
setting adapter [A] to the throttle sensor [B].

Special Tool - Throttle Sensor Setting Adapter:

57001

-1521

Do not connect the harness connector.

Connect a digital meter [C] to the harness adapter leads.

Measure the throttle sensor resistance.

Throttle Sensor Resistance

Connections to
Harness Adapter: R lead [D] ←→ BK/BL lead [E]
Standard:

4

6 kΩ

If the reading is out of the range, replace the throttle body
assy.
If the reading is within the range, but the problem still
exists, replace the ECU.
