Test NTC-5A - Checking TPS Calibration
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1994 Plymouth Sundance and 1994 Dodge Shadow. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Turn engine off. Turn ignition on. Using DRB, read Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) voltage. Ensure throttle is fully closed and against throttle stop.
- If voltage is not 1.5 volts or less with throttle closed, replace TPS. Perform TEST VER-2. If voltage is 1.5 volts or less with throttle closed, watch voltage while slowly opening throttle wide open. If voltage change was not smooth, replace TPS. Perform TEST VER-2. If voltage change was smooth, go to next step.
- If maximum voltage was not at least 3.4 volts at wide open throttle, replace TPS. Perform TEST VER-2 . If maximum voltage was at least 3.4 volts at wide open throttle, TPS is functioning properly. Test is complete.
