Throttle Position Sensor Resistance Inspection

  1. Ignition "OFF".
  2. Disconnect Battery (-) terminal.
  3. Refer to "ETC (ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL) SYSTEM " and disconnect Throttle Body connector.
  4. Measure resistance between Pin No. 4 (TPS1 Signal) terminal and Pin No. 2 (TPS Supply) terminal of Throttle Body harness connector.
  5. Measure resistance between Pin No. 5 (TPS2 Signal) terminal and Pin No. 2 (TPS Supply) terminal of Throttle Body harness connector.

    Specification : 

    TPS1 : 0.875 ~ 1.625 kΩ(68°F/20°C)

    TPS2 : 0.875 ~ 1.625 kΩ(68°F/20°C)

  6. Is the measured value within specification?

    YES 

    • Carefully re-do this troubleshooting guide steps.
    • If the diagnostics have been performed correctly with no failure found, replace the PCM and then go to "Verification Of Repair " procedure.
      CAUTION: When replacing the ECM/PCM, the vehicle equipped with the immobilizer must be performed procedure as below.
      [In the case of installing used ECM/PCM]
      1. Perform "ECM/PCM Neutral mode" procedure with KDS/GDS. (Refer to REPLACEMENT )
      2. After finishing "ECM/PCM Neutral mode", perform "Key teaching" procedure with KDS/GDS. (Refer to SMART KEY REPAIR PROCEDURES )

      [In the case of installing new ECM/PCM]
      Perform "Key teaching" procedure with KDS/GDS. (Refer to SMART KEY REPAIR PROCEDURES )
      CAUTION: When replacing the ECM/PCM, the vehicle equipped with the smart key system (Button start) must be performed procedure as below.
      [In the case of installing used ECM/PCM]
      1. Perform "ECM/PCM Neutral mode" procedure with KDS/GDS. (Refer to "REPLACEMENT ")
      2. After finishing "ECM/PCM Neutral mode", insert the key (or press the start button) and turn it to the IGN ON and OFF position. Then the PCM learns the smart key information automatically.

      [In the case of installing new ECM/PCM]
      Insert the key (or press the start button) and turn it to the IGN ON and OFF position. Then the ECM/PCM learns the smart key information automatically.
      CAUTION:
      • Install the component with the specified torques.
      • Note that internal damage may occur when the component is dropped or mistreated.

    NO 

    • Carefully re-do this troubleshooting guide steps.
    • If no problems were found with the circuits or connectors, replace the Throttle Body and then go to "Verification Of Repair " procedure
