1. Measure the resistance between the (K22) TP Sensor No. 1 Signal circuit and the (K122) TP Sensor No. 2 Signal circuit at the Throttle Body harness connector.
  Is the resistance below 5.0 Ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the short between the (K122) TP Sensor No. 2 Signal circuit and the (K22) TP Sensor No. 1 Signal circuit.
  - Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE and perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION.
  No
  - Go To 7.
THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Connect the C2 PCM harness connector.
3. Ignition on, engine not running.
4. Using the scan tool, monitor the TP Sensor No. 1 and No. 2 voltage.
5. Connect a jumper wire between the (K922) TP Sensor Return circuit and the (K22) TP Sensor No. 1 Signal circuit.
  NOTE:
  TP Sensor No. 1 voltage should change from approximately 4.7 Volts to 0.3 of a Volt.
