Throttle Position Sensor
(TPS)
NOTE: On the XTX, preliminary checks may be per-
formed on this component using the diagnostic mode
on the LCD gauge (see EFI Diagnostic System in this
section).
TESTING (XTX)
1. Remove the seats and center console; then discon-
nect the three-wire TPS connector plug.
PR533A
NOTE: Prior to testing the TPS, inspect the
three-wire plug connector on the main harness and
the three-pin plug on the TPS for contamination, bro-
ken pins, and/or corrosion.
NOTE: If the vehicle is in warranty, removing or
adjusting the TPS will void warranty. If the TPS is
tested out of specification, the throttle body must be
replaced. If the vehicle is out of warranty, the TPS
may be adjusted.
2. Connect the TPS Multi-Analyzer Harness connector
#8 to the TPS; then connect the harness to the TPS
Analyzer Tool.

3. Using a multimeter, connect the black tester lead to
the white socket (VAR) on the analyzer and the red
tester lead to the red socket (+5V); then select the
DC Voltage position. With the vehicle off, the gauge
should read 0.58-0.62 and at Wide-Open Throttle it
should read up to approximately 3.7.

TESTING (XT/XTZ)
1. Connect the main harness to the TPS.
2. Locate the diagnostic plug under the driver’s seat
next to the PDM; then install the Test Plug from Test
Plug/Error Code List onto the plug.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and note
the position of the TPS indicator icon (A, B, or C);
then adjust the TPS until the TPS icon appears in the
center position (B).

The display should return to the center position (B).
