Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) can also be adjusted using a scan tester. Perform this check only when throttle body parts have been replaced or after minimum airflow has been adjusted.

  1. Install 3 jumper wires between TPS and TPS wiring harness connector. Jumpers can be made using the following General Motors parts: Terminals No. 1214836 and 12014837.
  2. Turn ignition switch to ON position. DO NOTΒ  start engine. Using a DVOM, connect test leads to Dark Blue and Black wire terminals. With throttle at closed position, TPS voltage should be .42-.45 volt.
  3. If voltage reading is not as specified, rotate TPS until specified voltage is obtained. See TPS OUTPUT VOLTAGEΒ . If specified voltage cannot be obtained, replace TPS.
  4. Tighten screws and recheck readings. Turn ignition off. Remove jumper wires and reconnect harness connector to TPS.
