- Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between each terminal.

2. IF NECESSARY, ADJUST THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR.



Loosen the 2 set screws of the sensor.



Insert a 0.60 mm (0.024 in.) feeler gauge between the throttle stop screw and stop lever.



Connect the tester probe of an ohmmeter to the terminals IDL and E2 of the sensor.



- Gradually turn the sensor clockwise until the ohmmeter deflects, then secure it with the 2 set screws.



- Recheck the continuity between terminals IDL and E2.
