Diagnostic Aids

1995 Chevrolet Chevy Van G30, Van Cargo Extended, 6.5 YSECTION Diagnostic Aids

Tech 1 displays throttle position in volts. With closed throttle, ignition on, or at idle, voltage should be .45-.85 volt. If voltage is not as specified, replace TP sensor. Check for:

  • Poor Connection Or Damaged Harness

    Inspect control module harness connectors for backed out terminals, improper mating, broken locks, improperly formed or damaged terminals, poor terminal to wire connection, and damaged harness.
  • Intermittent Test

    Monitor TP sensor voltage display on Tech 1 while moving related connectors and wiring harness. If failure is induced, display will change. This may assist in isolating location of malfunction.
  • TP Sensor Scaling

    Observe TP sensor voltage display while depressing accelerator pedal with engine stopped and ignition on. Display should vary from closed throttle TP sensor voltage when throttle is closed (less than 1.25 volts) to greater than 4.5 volts when throttle is held at WOT position.
