G92527t8 : CHECK THE POWER SUPPLY TO THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR
1. Turn the ignition switch the to the RUN position.
2. Measure the voltage between the throttle position sensor electrical connector EN13-4 and ground.

- Is the voltage less than 4.5 volts?

-> Yes

-> No

G92527t9 : CHECK THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT
1. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
2. Disconnect the ECM electrical connector EN16 and the throttle position sensor electrical connector EN13.
3. Measure the resistance between EN16-12 and EN13-4.

- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?

-> Yes

-> No
REPAIR the throttle position sensor power supply circuit from the ECM to the throttle position sensor. CLEAR the DTC. TEST the system for normal operation.

G92527t10 : CHECK THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
1. Measure the resistance between EN13-4 and ground.

- Is the resistance greater than 10,000 ohms?

-> Yes
DIAGNOSE the electronic engine control system.

-> No
REPAIR the throttle position sensor power supply circuit from the ECM to the throttle position sensor. CLEAR the DTC. TEST the system for normal operation.

G92527t11 : CHECK THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT
1. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
2. Disconnect the throttle position sensor electrical connector EN13.
3. Measure the resistance between EN13-1 and ground.

- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?

-> Yes

-> No

G92527t12 : CHECK THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR GROUND WIRE FOR OPEN CIRCUIT
1. Disconnect the ECM electrical connector EN 16 and the throttle position sensor electrical connector EN 13.
2. Measure the resistance between EN16-13 and EN13-1.

- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?

-> Yes

-> No
REPAIR the throttle position sensor ground circuit from the ECM to the throttle position sensor. CLEAR the DTC. TEST the system for normal operation.

G92527t13 : CHECK THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR

-> Yes

-> No
INSTALL a new throttle position sensor.

G92527t14 : CHECK CONTINUITY OF THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR OUTPUT CIRCUIT
1. Measure the resistance between EN16-75 and EN13-3.
2. Measure the resistance between EN16-76 and EN13-2.

- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?

-> Yes

-> No
REPAIR the circuit from the ECM to the throttle position sensor. CLEAR the DTC. TEST the system for normal operation.

G92527t15 : CHECK THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR OUTPUT CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
1. Measure the resistance between EN13-3 and ground.
2. Measure the resistance between EN13-2 and ground.

- Is the resistance greater than 10,000 ohms?

-> Yes
DIAGNOSE the electronic engine control system.

-> No
REPAIR the circuit from the ECM to the throttle position sensor. CLEAR the DTC. TEST the system for normal operation.
