Voltage
TEST DESCRIPTION:
Number(s) below refer to step number(s) on the diagnostic table.
Step 2. With the throttle closed, the TP sensor voltage should read 0.3-0.9 volt. If it does
not, check the throttle cable adjustment or for bent or binding linkage.
Step 3. This test simulates a DTC 21. If the ECM recognizes the high signal voltage, the
ECM and wiring are OK.
