TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) Faults
Faults which are reported in B.U.D.S. fall into two groups TPS faults and adaption faults. These are dis-
played on the B.U.D.S. system as TPS OUT OF RANGE and TPS ADAPTION FAILURE.
TPS “OUT OF RANGE” Fault
It is caused by the sensor reading going out of its allowable range. This fault can occur during the whole
range of movement of the throttle.
To diagnose this fully, it is recommended to operate the throttle through its full range. It is also recom-
mended to release the throttle quickly as this may also show up a fault that is intermittent.
POSSIBLE CAUSES RESULT ACTION
Check if wrong connector is connected
to TPS.
