three-wire plug connector on the main harness and
the three-pin plug on the TPS for contamination, bro-
ken pins, and/or corrosion.
2. Make sure the ignition switch is in the OFF posi-
tion; then select the DC Voltage position on the
meter.

red tester lead to terminal A. Turn the ignition
switch to the ON position. The meter should read

5. Select the OHMS position on the meter; then per-
form the following resistance tests on the TPS.
A. Pin (B) to ground - infinity (open circuit).
B. Pin (A) to pin (B) - approximately 1.22k ohms
(throttle closed).
C. Pin (A) to pin (B) - approximately 4.5k ohms
(throttle full-open).
D. Pin (A) to pin (C) - approximately 5.5k ohms.
