had a little time to do some random things to the supra today (fluids, checking hoses, random lookovers) and decided to see if it was throwing any codes without popping the CEL. sure enough code 51. my question is would it throw 51 for my AC being removed? i would hope it wouldnt be my TPS as i just changed it less than 2000 miles ago. anyone know if its common to have 51 with no ac? or a quick way to check if it is the TPS?

check your resistance for the tps.

I havnt pressed it....but i do have a few female friends who "Its hot, ill just go ahead and start pushing buttons on your car till it gets colder..."
would it change anything if i pushed it again so its off? (if its on that is)

i dont have a meter atm D:

i already turned it off and reset the codes when i heard that, but didnt drive before re-pulling the code, it was still there.

would driving before checking it effect anything?

i might have to try and check a few of my spare tps's (went wild on ebay when it happened so ive got like 3 or 4) to see if they get rid of it.
