Throttle Position Sensor (TPS)
The throttle position sensor (TPS) is located on the throttle body and is in direct contact with the throttle shaft. The TPS
transmits throttle angle information to the ECM, which regulates the fuel injector volume (pulse width) and ignition timing.
TPS Replacement
To replace the TPS:
1.
Remove the throttle body from the engine. Refer to Section 3C ‑ Throttle Body Removal.
2.
Remove the two Torx® screws that secure the TPS to the throttle body, and remove the TPS.
3. Attach the new TPS to the throttle body, and secure it with the two Torx® screws, positioned in the center of the two slots.
a - Torx® screw (2)
b - Slot (2)
4. Connect the TPS to the engine harness, and connect and launch CDS G3.
5.
Navigate to the Live Data screen to view the Throttle Position value.
6.
Adjust the position of the TPS until the value reads 0.6° ± 0.1°.
7. Tighten the two Torx® screws. Confirm that the TPS value did not change.
8. Disconnect CDS G3.
9.
Install the throttle body onto the engine. Refer to Section 3C ‑ Throttle Body Installation.
