Signal too high (Continued)
Checking throttle position (TP) sensor signal
- Ignition off.
- Connect throttle position (TP) sensor.
- Start engine.
- Select Volvo Scan Tool (ST) to read off the throttle angle.
The throttle angle should be 0° when the engine is idling and should increase as the accelerator pedal (AP) is depressed.
OK - The cause of the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) has been loose connections in the throttle position (TP) sensor connector. Check connector for contact resistance and oxidation and remedy according to Checking wiring and terminals. Permanent fault Checking Wiring and Terminals. Permanent Fault. Then continue with Verification.
Checking for contact resistance and oxidation
Not OK - Try a new throttle position (TP) sensor. Then continue with Verification.
