Sub-Throttle Position Sensor


SUB-THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR INSPECTION

1. Inspect sub-throttle position sensor
(a) Insert a 0.30 mm (0.012 in.) or 0.50 mm (0.020 in.) feeler gauge between the throttle slop screw and throttle valve gear.
(b) Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between terminals.
2. If necessary, adjust sub-throttle position sensor





(a) Loosen the 2 set screws of the sensor.





(b) Insert a 0.40 mm (0.016 in.) feeler gauge, between the throttle stop screw and throttle valve gear.
(c) Connect the test probe of an ohmmeter to the terminals IDL2 and E2 of the sensor.
(d) Set that the sub-throttle valve is fully closed.





(e) Gradually turn the sensor clockwise until the ohmmeter deflects and secure it with the 2 set screws.








(f) Recheck the continuity between terminals IDL2 and E2.
