Code 21 (2 of 3): Throttle Position (TP) Sensor Circuit (Scan)
TEST DESCRIPTION:
Number(s) below refer to step number(s) on the diagnostic table.
Step 2: With throttle closed the TP sensor should read between .3 and .8 volt. If it does not,
check throttle cable adjustment or for bent linkage.
Step 4: With the TP sensor disconnected, the TP voltage should go low if the ECM and wir-
ing are OK.
Step 7: Probing CKT 813 with a DVOM to CKT 416 checks the sensor ground. A faulty sen-
sor ground will cause a Code 21.
