dh91: Measure Throttle Position Signal Voltage While Exercising TP Sensor
Steps _Key Off, wait 10 seconds
_Disconnect processor 60 pin connector. Inspect for damaged pins, corrosion, loose wires, etc. Service as necessary
_Install breakout box and reconnect processor
_VOM or STAR LED still connected to STO as in previous step
_Connect a DVOM from Test Pin 47 to Test Pin 46
_DVOM on 20 volt scale
_Key On, Engine Off
_While observing DVOM, repeat Step DH90
Result Does the fault occur below 4.25 volts?
Direction YES

Disconnect and inspect connectors. If connector and terminals are good, replace TP sensor. Refer to Shop Manual Group 24. Clear Continuous Memory Code 53. Refer to Appendix in Section 16. Rerun Quick Test.

NO

Throttle Position Sensor overtravel may have caused the Continuous Memory Code 53. Verify harness integrity, GO to DH92
