- multimeter (in voltmeter and ohmmeter mode);
- pieces of wire.
Examination
1. Prepare the car for work (see "Preparing the car for maintenance and repair").
2. Release the wiring harness connector retainer and disconnect the connector from the throttle position sensor.
3. Connect the negative probe of the voltmeter to the engine ground.
4. Turn on the ignition and connect the positive probe of the voltmeter to terminal A of the wiring harness connector (the terminal numbers are marked on the socket), and measure the supply voltage.
Note: The supply voltage at terminal A of the connector should be about 5 V. If the voltage does not reach the connector or is less than 5 V, then the power supply circuit is faulty or the ECU is faulty.
Warning! After completing the voltage measurement, turn off the ignition.
Removal
1. Using a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the two screws securing the idle speed control to the throttle body.
2. Remove the throttle position sensor from the throttle shaft. The connection between the sensor and the throttle body is sealed with a foam ring.
Tip: You can verify that the throttle position sensor is faulty by replacing it with a known good one.
Installation
1. Place the sensor on the throttle actuator shaft so that its terminals are directed towards the engine compartment bulkhead.
2. Slightly rotate the sensor relative to the throttle valve axis until the holes for its mounting screws align with the threaded holes in the throttle valve body.
3. Tighten the screws securing the sensor.
Recommendation: Open the valve by turning the throttle actuator sector until it stops. If this cannot be done, the sensor is installed incorrectly. The sensor should be removed from the throttle shaft and reinstalled relative to the shaft by 90°.
4. After making sure that the sensor is installed correctly, connect the wiring harness block to it.
