Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.

Service Procedure

1. Ensure that the engine idle, throttle cable and cruise control cable (if equipped) are adjusted properly. Refer to the appropriate Shop Manual for the adjustment procedure.

2. Connect the HDS scan tool to the data link connector and turn the ignition switch ON.

3. From the Menu, select "Transaxle", "Codes and Data Menu" and "Data" screen, then go to "IDLE SW".





4. Place a 0.025 in (0.65 mm) thick feeler gauge between the fixed Speed Adjusting Screw (SAS) and throttle lever.





5. Loosen the TPS mounting bolts and turn the TPS body fully counterclockwise. Confirm that the idle switch readout shows "CLSD".

6. Slowly turn the TPS body clockwise until the idle switch readout shows "OPEN". Carefully tighten the TPS mounting bolts securely.

7. Remove the feeler gauge.

8. Confirm that the idle switch changes from "CLSD" at idle to "OPEN" as the throttle is slightly opened.

9. Verify the TPS output voltage is within specification.

STANDARD VALUE: 0.4-1.0 V

Note:
If the voltage is out of specification, check the TPS and associated harnesses for damage. Repair/replace TPS and associated harnesses if necessary.
