THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR CHECK
M1131003200213
Required Special Tool:
•
MB991348: Test Harness Set
.
Checking the Terminal Resistance
1. Disconnect the throttle position sensor connector.
2. Measure the resistance between throttle position sensor
side connector terminals 1 and 4.
Standard value: 3.5
−
6.5 k
Ω
3. Measure the resistance between throttle position sensor
side connector terminals 1 and terminal 3.
Normal condition:
4. If the resistance is outside the standard value, or if it doesn't
change smoothly, replace the throttle position sensor.
NOTE: After replacement, the throttle position sensor should
be adjusted. (Refer to
.)
.
Check using oscilloscope
1. Disconnect the throttle position sensor connector and
connect the test harness special tool (MB991348) in
between. (All terminals should be connected.)
2. Connect the oscilloscope probe to the throttle position
sensor side connector terminal 3.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
4. Slowly move the throttle lever from the idle position to the
full-throttle position and check then if the waveform is free
from any noise.
5. If any noise is recognized, replace the throttle position
sensor.
NOTE: After replacement, the throttle position sensor should
be adjusted. (Refer to
.)
