1993 Mazda 929FACTORY OEM SERVICE PROCEDURE

Throttle Position (TP) Sensor: NAVAJO

NOTE: TP sensor is not adjustable. Replace TP sensor if voltage readings are not within specification.
  1. Ensure throttle linkage is not preventing throttle stop lever from contacting throttle stop screw. Disconnect Electronic Control Assembly (ECA) 60-pin connector. Inspect connector for damaged pins, corrosion or loose wires and repair as necessary.
  2. Connect Breakout Box (T83L-50-EEC-IV) between ECA and ECA harness. Connect digital voltmeter positive lead to pin No. 47 and negative lead to pin No. 46 of breakout box.
  3. Turn ignition on. Observe voltmeter while slowly moving throttle between fully closed and wide open positions. Voltage should be .60 volt with throttle fully closed and about 4.50 volts throttle fully open.
  4. If voltages values are not as specified, ensure throttle angle (minimum air rate) is correct. See IDLE SPEEDΒ  under IDLE SPEED & MIXTURE. If throttle angle is correct, remove TP sensor.
  5. Check for damaged, corroded or misadjusted pins. If pins are okay, install TP sensor. Check voltage readings again. If voltage readings are not as specified, perform KOEO self-test. See information G - TEST W/ CODES article. If KOEO self-test indicates no problems, replace TP sensor.
