- The ignition must be off when checking a circuit for continuity to ground.
- Isolate the circuit by disconnecting the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and every component harness connector containing the circuit being tested. Note: Use the wiring diagram as a guide to follow the path of the circuit.
- Connect the negative lead of the DVOM to a known good ground.
- With the positive lead of the DVOM, probe the circuit being tested at the component harness connector and check for continuity between the circuit and ground.NOTE:
There should be no continuity between ground and the circuit being tested.
Is there continuity between ground and the circuit being tested?
Yes
- Repair the circuit for a short to ground. Use the wiring diagram as a guide to trace the circuit and look for any in-line connectors to help isolate the location of the short.

- Isolate the circuit by disconnecting the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and every component harness connector containing the circuit being tested. Note: Use the wiring diagram as a guide to follow the path of the circuit.
- Connect the test leads of the DVOM and check for continuity between the circuits being tested at the component harness connector.NOTE:
There should be no continuity between the circuits being tested.
Is there continuity between the circuits?
Yes
- Repair the short between the circuits.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Go To 8
- ISOLATE AND CHECK THE (K122) TPS 2 SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN/HIGH RESISTANCE
- The ignition must be off when checking the continuity of a circuit.
- Isolate the circuit by disconnecting the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and the component harness connector containing the circuit being tested. Note: Use the wiring diagram as a guide to follow the path of the circuit.
- Before measuring the resistance of any circuit, first measure the resistance between the two leads of the DVOM. Note: The meter leads can add resistance to the measurement value.
- Connect the leads of the DVOM to the circuit being tested.
Is the resistance below 3.0 Ohms?
Yes
- Go To 9
No
- Repair the circuit for an open or high resistance.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
- CONNECT A FUSED JUMPER BETWEEN THE (K122) TPS 2 SIGNAL CIRCUIT AND THE (F855) 5-VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT AT THE THROTTLE BODY SENSOR HARNESS CONNECTOR - VERIFY ABILITY OF THE PCM TO DETECT THE SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT HIGH DTC
- The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) harness connectors must be connected to the PCM during this test step.
- Disconnect the sensor harness connector.
- With the ignition in the off position, connect a fused jumper between the sensor signal circuit and the 5-Volt Supply circuit at the sensor harness connector.
- Turn the ignition on.
- With the scan tool, read DTCs.
Does the scan tool display the SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT HIGH DTC with the jumper in place?
