here's the deal:

i tried the tps check thing, with both the home made LED checker and voltmeter...

with the LED checker, i couldn't fine the exact part number for the LED assembly, i just bought something similar...

supply voltage - 12v, 16v max

current - 12mA, 20mA max

so this should be alright??? but no matter how much i turn the tps screw, neither LED lights up... same thing with the voltmeter, i always get the reading of 0 and never 12 on either prong...

i've tried clockwise and counterclockwise...

i tried jumping the 2 prong green connector, tried grounding each wire separately... nothing seems to be giving me any reading...??

am i doing something wrong??? or is my tps just out of wack??

or are my diagnostic connectors just not working the way they're supposed to...

i tried the dianostic check in the 6 prong green connector, and they dont even light up either... i get nothing??? wtf??



help please...

 

do you turn the key to the on poisition ?



when you turn the key to the on position on the diag connetcot (6 pin) you must have both led on for 3 seconds and after this they start to blink if you have some code.



hope this help

Try it with the voltmeter first, on just one TPS connection. Actually push and pull the TPS plunger the entire travel while looking at the voltmeter, if you do not get 12V at some point over the plunger travel, the TPS is toast. Do this for both connections before you drive yourself batty with that screw.



Also, try disconnecting the TPS plug, and make sure it's clean inside the connector.

 

yes i put it in the "on" position...

and the LEDs never light up at all, i did put them in the correct spots

i did do it with both the voltmeter and LEDs, but i did not try the tps plunger by hand, i'll try that tomorrow, thanks.
