place on a table with the connector facing left and the TB part with the little lever facing up at you. Look at the lever. It should be straight up and down. Call the bottom part 6 o'clock.
Measure the resistance on the upper two pins of the TPS.
so i'm about to do these tests on my tps' the two pins i should be checking i assume are vta & vc?
i've verified that my code 51 is irrelevant (car was in reverse lol) but i still have 41... the tps is currently not on the throttle body but i would assume this would not matter.
One thing i did find amusing is that it complains of an open or short circuit in vta when i have the tps plugged in but when i don't have a tps plugged in at all (i.e all wires are now open circuit) code 41 goes away lol (maybe i just have my understanding of it messed up)
when i jumped idl and e2 51 remained (car in reverse)
so once i've had confirmation of vta & vc i'll be good to go, one other quick Q tho, you say the levers should be straight up and down, i'm not sure about there but here we have 2 different types of tps.. one will face -- the other will be | so one is 12 clock/6 clock other is 3 clock/9 clock
i should be able to still use the same theory, i'll just have to remember the clock for each LOL
thanks for any help
oh yea, all testing is done without car running as.... it don't go lol
