How To Test A Throttle Position Sensor (TPS)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 дек 2015
- Suspect a faulty throttle position sensor for engine problems? Look no further. In this video I will explain how a (TPS) Throttle Position Sensor works, how to test one, and also open one up to see what is inside. The sensor being tested in this video is a 3 pin sensor.

Truly one of the best done videos i have seen in a long time!! Full details and explained very well. Its easy to understand why this guy has at least a half million subs. Now with one more!
Simple to understand. Better than these other vids that spend a half hour of way too technical information using a $5k scanner

I just did that exact same procedure on a 92 Chevy lumina APV minivan 3.1 engine I didn't see this video until after I tested it actually have a shop manual but sometimes the part make look different order wording sometime you got to read it over again but the video you made I just checked throttle position sensor and it came out exactly as you said it would kudos to you very clear presentation you have a fine art in teaching and auto mechanics very nice video!!!

decently old video but extremely helpful. Didn't know checking the voltage change was that easy.
Thanks for the clear and direct explanation. Very helpful
Glad it was helpful!
thanks very much...very simple to understand
Excellent video thanks for sharing Houston Texas
Excellent video on how to look for dead spots in your TPS. Not all vehicles are the same, the TPS can have a different expected voltage range depending on vehicle. Not all TPS tolerances are between 0V-5V. Consult a workshop manual for the correct specifications for your vehicle year/model/engine configuration. The TPS design and expected values can change per year on the same model. Always, always, look up the correct specifications for your specific vehicle. Great video.
Good point. Thanks
Yes they are! Or close to it at least. Show me a printout or PDF that is way different than .5 to 5 volts.
Still helping in 2020. Thanks for this.

The use of needle is an excellent idea. Simplest way to check without removing the wire cover. Thanks.

I have a question for you here's what I have 2001 nissan frontier 2.4 automatic
1 when the rpm hits around 2100 I get erratic response from the truck, doesn't accelerate, starts deceleration. If I shift to neutral I get a fresh start, and I try to stay away from that rpm. I've changed the MAF, the TPS and the fuel pump and I line filter wich was very clogged.
I'm hitting a brick wall any idea would be useful.
Thank you for the detailed video.

This is a professional level explanation and demonstration. Really impressive. I have a 6 pin sensor and I'm getting 5v on both ends and a 0.83v reading from the other two pins. I can't tell if that's proper spec.
The sensor is disconnected during this reading. So I'm testing the female connector pins leading to the throttle body. Can anyone tell if I'm doing this correctly or not? The car is a 2004 350Z Nissan.
That's a wideband sensor. You need to find an online service manual for your make/model vehicle to identify each pin. Thanks for watching!
Easy to understand... perfecto... gracias amigo!
Thanks Sonny! Be sure to rate thumbs up, check out my extensive video playlists, and share my channel with others.
Excellent explantation. Exactly as you said. I tested on my 2000 Accord V6 w 150,000 miles. Perfect count-up on the multimeter from .45 to 4.56 dcv (by the 1/100s!), so it's not the TPS. I've already replaced the MAP sensor, cleaned throttle body (with throttle body cleaner, toothbrush and rag), replaced air filter, checked air intake passages from filter to TB. Runs beautifully after warmed up, but super hesitant acceleration when cold (I live in Florida). Never stalls, but feels like it will, until warm. No codes. Thanks again.
What part of Florida you are?

I finally understood how it works lol what a great explanation and demonstration. I highly suspect my TPS is failing. Whenever I floor the gas pedal, the rev goes up but the car doesn't move. Transmission shifting is terrible. The gas pedal sometimes stops working completely! If I understand it well, if I run these tests in my car and the TPS is really faulty, I should be able to "floor" the gas pedal and see the voltage not going up, right? Thanks for the video!
I think you have other problems with your transmission.
Educational video thanks for the tips I'm watching from Singapore :)

best videoi eversaw on this!
Great video. I have a 1997 Saturn SL1with a standard 5 speed trans. The idle would sometimes go to 2000 to 2500 rpm when rolling to a stop with the clutch pushed down then would come back to norm 750 ish rpm. I pulled off the throttle body and removed the tps and iacv to clean a ton of carbon off the throttle body. I also replaced the iacv with an $8 ebay one, thinking that was originally causing the high idle problem. There was never a cel on. When I put it back together I put the tps on and had to twist it to get the screw holes to line up and it felt crunchy like I hyperextended the spring. It turned on the cel with code po122 and runs bad with high idle. I installed a new Walker tps and there is no change other than it loops at idle when the rpm comes down. My code reader is not able to clear the po122 code. I checked voltage with connector disconnected and I get 5.02v on one wire and .03v on other. I back probed with it plugged in to sensor and get 5.08v on one and the other shows .15v at idle and 3.94v at wot. I thought it might be the plug so I poked the volt meter lead in the connecter points and tried to push them closer together but No change in voltage readings. Advice please?
Sounds like a faulty linkage return spring.
Good teacher
Many many thanks
excellent explanation
Glad you liked it!
This is the best throttle position sensor video I have seen so far. But my situation is a 93 Ford Lincoln Town Car I'm getting a code 121 on a brand new throttle position sensor I purchased offline what are your thoughts on this?
Could be a bad connection(wire harness), damaged wire, or bad PCM.
Very informative video
Glad you think so!
