1. Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature (the radiator fan comes on).
2. Apply parking brake, and block rear wheels. Start the engine, then shift to the D position while pressing the brake pedal. Press the accelerator pedal, and release it suddenly. The engine should not stall.
3. Connect the HDS to the DLC (A), and go to the PGM-FI Data List; then go to step 6. If you don't have a HDS, go to step 4.
4. Remove the right kick panel, then remove the TCM (A).
5. Connect a digital multimeter (A) and the special tools (B) to monitor TPS voltage between TCM connector terminals C9 and A23 or A24.
6. Test-drive the vehicle on a flat road in the D, S. and L positions. While driving, check that the engine speeds meet the approximate vehicle speeds shown in the table.
NOTE: At these throttle openings the vehicle will continue to accelerate. Note the vehicle speed and engine RPM as the target is reached.
