(1) Key "OFF".
(2) Connect the scantool and select "Simulation SCAN" in the menu.
(3) Connect channel A of scantool with terminal 1 of TPS harness connector, and key "ON".
(4) Simulate voltage at signal line.




(5) Is TPS signal value changed according to simulation voltage?
YES
1) Thoroughly check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion,contamination, deterioration, or damage. Repair or replace as necessary and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
NO
1) Substitute with a known - good ECM and check for proper operation.
