dh13: Check Resistance of Throttle Position Sensor Circuit to Ground/SIGNAL Return
Steps _ Key Off, wait 10 seconds. Disconnect Throttle Position Sensor harness connector
_ Disconnect processor 60 pin connector. Inspect for damaged pins, corrosion, loose wires, etc. Service as necessary.
_ DVOM on 200,000 ohm scale
_ Measure resistance between Throttle Position Sensor SIGNAL at the Throttle Position Sensor vehicle harness connector and Test Pin 46 at the breakout box and between Throttle Position Sensor SIGNAL at Throttle Position Sensor vehicle harness connector and ground
Result Are all resistances greater than 10,000 ohms?
Direction NO

Service short circuit. Remove breakout box. Reconnect processor and Throttle Position Sensor. Rerun Quick Test

YES

Remove breakout box. Replace processor. Reconnect processor and Throttle Position Sensor. Rerun Quick Test.
