VL1500K5 (’05-MODEL) 53
“C14” (P0120-H/L) TP SENSOR CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION
INSPECTION
Step 1 (When indicating C14:)
1) Remove the right frame upper cover.
(
!
VL1500 Service Manual 6-3)
2) Turn the ignition switch OFF.
3) Check the TP sensor coupler for loose or poor contacts.
If OK, then measure the TP sensor input voltage.
4) Disconnect the TP sensor coupler.
5) Turn the ignition switch ON.
6) Measure the voltage at the Red wire
B
and ground.
7) Also, measure the voltage at the Red wire
B
and B/Br wire
C
.

DETECTED CONDITION
POSSIBLE CAUSE
C14
Output voltage is not within the following
range.
Difference between actual throttle open-
ing and opening calculated by ECM is
larger than specified value.

Sensor voltage < 4.8 V
• TP sensor maladjusted.
• TP sensor circuit open or short.
• TP sensor malfunction.
• ECM malfunction.
