The TP does get watched by the ECU, for rate of TV action, you move the throttle fast and the ECU sees that and goes toENRICHmode, until the MAF/MAP catches up. Diagnostic Trouble codes: (I will use harness side colors, because they do not change) This test is long, but is better than guessing and paying $250 for a new sensor !! CCW= counter clock wise , CW , guess? 13.01 Buy It Now This photo clearly shows the 2 devices inside, the unit. PinB(TP pin) below, the voltage will very, for near 0v to near 5v, as the throttle is advanced. Join to discuss rebuilds, modifications, tech articles and more! ( I will cover 92-98 1.6L 16valve MPI method here) A GO /NOGO method this is called. Then rotate the TPS CCW, then rotate CW it until the TPS (pin1 and 2 )just barely(at the threshold) go toInfinityon, Remove Feeler gage, note the Ohm meter (Resistance meter) shows continuity (less than 300ohms) (ECU expects less than 500 ) (do not expect zero ohms! Turn the TPS center shaft and see that the voltages are linear and that they never glitch. 6) Preliminary setup: (have the 3 feeler gages in hand, or stack them, only 1 feeler is needed to do just the CAL. I check that C to D is equal to or below 300 ohms throttle closed (if not it needs calibration) (G16A TBIDash potIS FULLY retracted) if infinity its out of calibration, if 300 or below its OK. Lock down those TPS side screws. The TPS acts oddly, because the ECU is in. MPI is 16v Multipoint Injection motors, and has no Dash pot steps, or device. The throttle stop screws primary function is to With the IAC valve As you can see, there are many issues other than a faulty IAC valve that If the engine doesn't have enough air, the air-to-fuel mixture ratio is off, and some fuel might be left after the spark. Wait at least Seechart on top of this page. repeat them all. The 3 video tests (mp4) Adjustment is made by rotating the TPS driver slightly clockwise to increase voltage. Test the voltage of your TBI using a multimeter. on the engine (such as what would occur if the automatic transmission was end test 4: Predicates: The FSM instructions, are are linked in every section on calibation and does cover this step. loosen the TPS screws until just a tad loose. If you have a throttle hesitation problem then do the range test or the POT and ohm meter (resistance meter) test. Most screws have a T25 torx head, but they also can be an allen TB. I have a question: if my tps Is bad and i Need to replace, can I get another cars tps? Suzuki calls this the TP pin, but is known today at Throttle Angle. You must leave the connector connected,andus a back probe technique, to read the voltages. November 11, 2019 by Jason. Be sure to wiggle all connections while watching scan data/voltage readout to make sure the problem is not a loose or bad connection. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission, which supports our community. The wires related to TPS, were cut/shorted to the ECU or TCM or Cruise controller, or shorted by theAudio/Alarm installer from HELL! Today we're replacing, and adjusting, a throttle position sensor. 4) 2. TPS Throttle Position Sensor Extension Cable Fits Camaro Firebird Corvette TPI. Volt meter, Ohm meter (resistance) orDMM. Then select the Sensor Data button which will also show the TPS Throttle Percent position (yellow block/red arrow). that is allowed to enter the engine thru a closed throttle. Open = infinity, (meter shows , infinity ohms) 1985-1992 Corvette 350 TPI. (8v example) sol. (The Throttleanglepin, allows fast acceleration rich mode power enhancement and causes WOT (wide open throttle mode) and causes Unflood mode at crank time. How to time the distributor G16B (16V)? Cheers !, you are now calibrated. (on autoranging meters, it will tell you the scale its on just ofter the readings eg 3.5 k, means 3500 ohms the K ICON on the meter LCD means , times 1000) There is a vacuum leak Adjust the idle stop screw FYI: Myth#1: (all comments on a Hot engine) It can also be used with the cars ignition turned on but the car NOT running to check other data relative to the TPS. On cars that dont have an adjustable throttle position sensor, the ECM NOGO= Open Switch. If the throttle body has been removed (i.e. It tells the ECU how far open the butterfly in the throttle body is. Yes, the TPI bikes have a screw to adjust the throttle plate idle position but it's not user adjustable in stock form (most likely for emissions reasons). This is why the feeler gauges are used. It comes from the factory with a protective metal cap over it. Common symptoms of a bad throttle body include, dirt and grime, the check engine light, and an erratic idle. Photo 5, do not attempt to do this. : (off car tests) The TPS angles are not calibrated. Adjust the TBI. Set the scan tool to TPS voltage (or connect DVM) then set the adjustment screw for the lowest value & still touching the throttle arm stop. During this time, the IAC valve is typically extended out all the way ,due to, toolateIDLE drop out or tooearlyidle release,. (minimum air setting). Figure1 Adjusting the Vehicles requires precise movements and should only be attempted by someone familiar with Vehicles engines. Remove it and check it. Never touch this screw below, the feeler is the Calibration tool . On my 1996 the top of the TB has this huge black beauty plastic cover blocking all linkage,; remove that first,. (ohm meter) Then either find someone with a 95 or older S10 with the TB and ask them to read theirs. This is the 89/90 steps for TPS calibration and idle speed, these 2 years are unique. Tips for adding power to a throttle body injected (TBI) Chevy 305, 350, or 454 V-8 engine. Gray/ yellow 0 Volts. The below graphic is for the OHMS test, but in fact this same drawing showsyou, what pins to test for the live voltage tests. (gotsymptoms?) Great for testing all sensors on the car. (my short list, lol) Loosen the top bolt on the TPS sensor a couple turns with the socket wrench. This method is used mostly by the hardcore technician. This is the reason why GM installs a tamper-proof plug over the throttle The Dash Display TPS reading is almost Zero and the voltage reading has moved into the 0.50 volt range. See hopeless. Now press the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor and hold it there until the Dash Display stabilizes with the Wide Open Throttle (WOT) percentage reading. If the pin is stuck , the voltage does not change, the TPS is bad. (example of throttle angle testing and finding dead spots or glitches) Never adjust the painted or capped off,throttle stop screw, for any reason. or even jam the throttle). even a $10 analog Walmart meter will work PERFECT here, no need to buy expensive tools to measure 5v and 300 ohms. ( over 3.5vdc on the TP pin can cause UNFLOOD mode and all injections stop, depends on ECU year and its software) Do not disconnect the connector, until you wish to do an OHMS test, above. PHOTO 3: 92-98 look same. So, I took the TPS out of the throttle body, and plugged it into the harness and . (I recommend testing it before calibrating the sensor ) (below 300 is TPS spec) {ECU wants below 500 ohms but spec is 300}, If the TPS screw mount slots bottom out, here theTV valve shaft is bentor the valve stop screws were. (4vdc on TP pin) all injections cut. Now the ECU will enter idle mode and activate the ISC system. In the instructions it says to adjust the tps to .65 volts but it does not say how. are you using the stock TPS? Set meter to 20k scale. Disconnect power from the ECM for at least 10 seconds to clear codes (in Back probe the TPS connector, using theneedleson the red meter test lead. Attach the positive (red) wire of the voltmeter to the safety pin and turn on the ignition switch without cranking the engine. This switch is not a gold contact switch, its just a carbon chunk, It has only 2 readings. (no more Code 44s now !) A Missing Dashpot on G16a engine. Shut the engine off and locate the AWS hose in the back of the carburetor attached to the curved inlet pipe near the throttle arm. If the TPS switch willnever close , even with the TPS completely removed from the TB, then the TPS is bad. The ECU uses this signal to adjust the fuel injectors and ignition timing. Ohms. The 16v TPS has no pig tail connector like 8v has, but has 4 pins, and pin 1 is on the bottom. automatically learns the closed throttle voltage when the ignition is keyed on Check the closed and open voltages on the meter. (suck means, use vacuum hand pump tool) or remove theDPwith that single stud screw. INDEX: (all G16 unless stated otherwise)All years are USA generations, not worldwide! Pull the air duct off the throttle body. internal loads/friction which can also result in a drop of idle vacuum levels. Check the tag on your ECM for its service number & then scroll through the ECM Type field until you find that service number. TPS not bad ,so test it first (using volts above live or resistance tests). AT4X versions of the GMC Sierra and Canyon. Hi! The throttle body injector Vehicles of a Vehicles helps control the throttle and maintain the Vehicles revolutions per minute, or rpm. (and patience galore) Scope on pin B . Set your multimeter to the 10 DC voltage range, place the black negative probe on the ground terminal of the TPS, and place the red positive probe on the reference voltage terminal of the TPS. If you also look carefully the TV throttle stop screw isblocked from anyone touching it !!! Flow rates are determined primarily by the AIR meter(MPI) or MAP(TBI) , the ECU sees air flow into the engine and matches measured AIR, with proper injections. (the others are for validation steps). The Switch side Low ,will vary from about 20 ohms (50 ohms is par) to 300 ohms closed (experience) and then go to open circuit, very soon ,as you crack the throttle open just slightly. Adjust the idle stop screw Test 2: Pin D, the ground pin test, it must read 0 volts , zero volts 0 to 0.5v. First, put in Your key and set the ignition to RUN for 3 seconds. The dash pot is the cold start, fast idle device, (short duration 3 to 30 seconds (30 is in Alaska). TEST 1: Checking The Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) Signal. (the volts must not glitch running or ohms when tested) Standard Ignition 3 Terminal Connector - S674. Your Equinox's throttle body controls the amount of air that enters the engine. Put the scope probe to pin B and D. Scope shield ground clip to D The Advance must be smooth. Pin B (TP) (see FSM here)( the normal voltage idling is0.6 to 1.5v) throttle body is being used than what originally came with the engine. !! (on other features keyed off this line, EGR enable, and doing spark timing the freeze jumper fails to work.) GM and SUZUKI may use different colors on wires, but pin 1 is always down. At idle, its .54 volts, which i think is correct. to be opened up to compensate. Do not turn the key to the run position, until the installation is done. Complete step-by-step testing instructions. To help us guarantee the correct parts for your classic car. If you removed the TPS and didnt index the body TPS pins to the TPS actual pin sockets, none of this will work correctly. (if it cant ever close) If all is good, we can skip the calibration. For a better experience, please enable JavaScript in your browser before proceeding. This page covers calibration or testing the TPS. (tie it back, suck it back or remove it.) 4. (thus real, and no errors set) With your laptop connected to the ECM Data Plug, open the WinALDL program and turn the car ignition to the on position but DO NOT START THE CAR. (+5 vdcis applied to the TPS pot pin A, from ECU, if not , ECU is bad or this pin A wire is grounded out.. or cut) 4.75 to 5.25vdc is factory spec.. The throttle stop screws primary function is to 300 or less is a better goal as most do near 50 ohms pin 1 to pin 2. the TP pin. Pin D is Cut or the TPS is bad. A voltage check across the sensor (harness plugged in, key on) should show approximately 0.5VDC at idle and 4.2VDC or more at full throttle. on pins C to D. or other errors. G16A. TPS switch open, LIMPHOME IS IN EFFECTcar starts, no idle controls, at all , ISC will be dead. Now I cant get a reading over 1.20 volts at WOT. 4. If the ECU is infailsafe modedue to a Dead MAF (MPI) or Dead (MAP)sensor, the ECU then uses the TPS tomimic this dead sensor, and now becomes the only (+ RPM) way to measure air flow. 5) The location of the TBI will vary, depending on your GM vehicle. You should disconnect your negative battery cable before removing the sensor. aka, set at threshold of closure. If you're unsure how to . or potentiometer, or variable resistor. < with good skills you can set it with one feeler(calib). (to avoid this nasty EFFECT) You control the throttle body position with the . As you turn the throttle up or down. Trouble code definitions. Seegraphic1: (a bad indication is the falling (negative ) spikes, called glitches. Plug the cable leads into the TPS sensor. (over range, on the meter , means Infinity , and that is what causes, DTC-44 flash code errors, at idle. (all years 8v) (this procedureassumestheTPS is not badand that it was installed correctly , Indexed ) SEE16V Calib. cab 4.3l 5spd 2wd, '07 4.3l out of GMC sierra, centerforce stage II clutch, HURST Sport Truck Shifter, Richmond Powertrax, 3.73, underdrive pulleys, gutted airbox, & one bad azz driver! (off topic ) Consult the engine diagram that came with your vehicle for extra guidance. Replace the TBI by placing it back in the engine. TEST 2: Making Sure The TPS Is Getting Power. As you can see pin 1 is the bottom pin. In this case well be taking voltage readings directly from the connector at the TPS using a Digital Voltage Meter. On a 100% factory stock engine, you should never The first thing you should do when you get a TPS code is to check adjustment and signal output of the TP sensor beforereplacing it. POT wiper pin or throttleanglepin : (Cold circuity test), (POT side is never calibrated , only the switch side is calibrated on any of the 1.6L).
