Setting the TPS Voltage

1. Turn key to ON position but do not start engine.

2. Using a digital voltmeter, measure the voltage between the green and black wires.

3. The voltage should read between 0.8v and 1.0v. A reading of 0.9 to 0.95 is ideal.

4. The TPS can be adjusted by loosening the two screws in on the throttle body and rotating it.

5. Once the proper setting is achieved, tighten the screws.

6. Re-check voltage after screws are tightened to make sure the TPS has not moved.
