FI SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS 12-31
“14” (P0120-H/L) TP SENSOR CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION
NOTE:
After repairing the trouble, clear the DTC using SDS tool. (
12-21)
INSPECTION
Step 1 (When indicating 14:)
1) Stop the engine.
2) Check the TP sensor coupler
1
for loose or poor contacts.
If OK, then measure the TP sensor input voltage.
3) Disconnect the TP sensor coupler
1
.
4) Connect a 12 volts battery by using the battery lead wire to
the service coupler. (
