Refer to Illustration 4. The sensor creates a Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) signal. The duty cycle varies with the throttle position. The signal has a low duty cycle when the throttle is at low idle. The signal has a high duty cycle when the throttle is at high idle. The Electronic Control Module (ECM) processes the signal in order to control the engine speed.

Duty cycle versus throttle position
The signal from the throttle position sensor has a specific frequency. The frequency of the signal must be between 150 Hz and 1050 Hz or the ECM will activate a 091-08 diagnostic code.

Troubleshooting Test Steps Values Results
1. Inspect the Electrical Connectors and the Wiring
A. Turn the keyswitch to the OFF position.
B. Thoroughly inspect connectors (1) and (2). Inspect the connections on the throttle position sensor. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Electrical Connectors - Inspect".
C. Perform a 45 N (10 lb) pull test on each of the wires that are associated with the throttle position sensor.
D. Check the allen head screw on each ECM connector for the proper torque. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Electrical Connectors - Inspect" for the correct torque values.
E. Check the allen head screw on the customer connector for the proper torque. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Electrical Connectors - Inspect" for the correct torque value.
F. Check the harness and wiring for abrasions and for pinch points from the throttle position sensor to the ECM and from the throttle position sensor to the battery.
Electrical Connectors and Wiring
Result: The wiring and the connectors are OK.
Proceed to Test Step 2.
Result: There is a problem with the wiring and/or the connectors.
Repair: Repair the wiring and/or the connectors. Replace parts, if necessary. Ensure that all of the seals are properly connected. Verify that the repair eliminates the problem.
STOP
2. Check for Supply Voltage at the Throttle Position Sensor
A. Disconnect the P403 connector.
B. Turn the keyswitch to the ON position. The engine should be OFF.
C. Measure the voltage between terminals P403-A and P403-B.
Supply Voltage
Result: The supply voltage is at least 11 VDC for a 12 volt system. The supply voltage is at least 22 VDC for a 24 volt system. The supply voltage is reaching the sensor.
Proceed to Test Step 3.
Result: The supply voltage is incorrect.
Repair: The configuration of the wiring between the +Battery and the throttle position sensor depends on the engine's configuration. The problem could be in the wiring or in a connector. There may be a problem with the battery.
Perform the necessary repairs. Verify that the problem is resolved.
STOP
3. Check the Signal Wire for a Short Circuit
A. Turn the keyswitch to the OFF position.
B. Disconnect the P1 connector.
Note: Be sure to wiggle the harnesses during the following measurements. Be sure to wiggle each harness near each connector.
C. Measure the resistance between terminal P1-66 and all of the other terminals in the P1 connector.
Short Circuit
Result: Each resistance measurement indicates an open circuit.
Proceed to Test Step 5.
Result: At least one resistance measurement does not indicate an open circuit. There is a problem with the signal wire for the throttle position sensor.
Repair: The problem could be in the wiring or in a connector. Repair the wiring and/or the connector, when possible. Replace parts, if necessary. Verify that the problem is resolved.
STOP
