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 reveal a fault that is intermittent.
POSSIBLE CAUSES RESULT ACTION
Check if connector is disconnected from TPS Yes Reconnect.
Check if sensor is loose Yes Tighten sensor and reset
Closed Throttle
.
Inspect sensor for damage or corrosion Yes
Replace sensor and reset
Closed Throttle
.
Inspect wiring (voltage test) Failed Repair.
Inspect wiring and sensor (resistance test)
If bad wiring, repair.
If bad TPS, replace and reset
Closed Throttle
.
Test sensor operation (wear test)
Failed
Replace sensor and reset
Closed Throttle
.
TPS “ADAPTATION FAILURE” Fault
It is caused by the idle position moving out of an acceptable range.
Following failures can be effected by a TPS “Adaption Failure“:
– Idle speed is out of range.
– Engine stops, when throttle is released quickly.
– Engine runs inconsistent in low partload or low RPM.
POSSIBLE CAUSES RESULT ACTION
Sensor has been replaced and TPS closed
position not reset
Yes Reset
