Component Testing (wo/TAC)
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Suzuki Swift +, 2008 Pontiac Wave, and 2008 Chevrolet Aveo. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the TP sensor.
- Test for 5,150-5,350 ohms of resistance between the 5-volt reference terminal A and the low reference terminal B.
- If not within the specified range, replace the TP sensor.
- Slowly sweep the sensor through the entire range several times while monitoring the resistance between the signal terminal C and the low reference terminal B. The resistance should vary between 2,500-6,800 ohms without any spikes or dropouts.
- If not within the specified range or is erratic, replace the TP sensor.
- Slowly sweep the TP sensor through the entire range several times while applying 5 volts and ground to the applicable terminals. Test the voltage between the signal terminal C and the low reference terminal B. The voltage should vary between 0.6-4.7 volts without any spikes or dropouts.
- If not within the specified range or is erratic, replace the TP sensor.
