    4. Is the measured voltage within specification?

      YES 

      • Go to  3"Check short to battery in harness" as follows.

      NO 

      • Go to  2"Check open in harness" as follows.
  2. Check open in harness
    1. IG "OFF" and disconnect TPS connector and PCM connector.
    2. Measure resistance between terminal 7 of TPS harness connector and terminal 48 of PCM harness connector (C144-B).

      Specification : Below 1Ω
