Throttle Position (TP) Sensor Performance Check

2013 Suzuki SX4 Crossover, Automatic CVT TransSECTION Throttle Position (TP) Sensor Performance Check
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Suzuki SX4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Turn OFF ignition switch.
  2. Remove air cleaner assembly. See AIR CLEANER ASSEMBLY REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
  3. Disconnect connector from electric throttle body assembly.
  4. Check TP sensor (main and sub) output voltage as the following steps.
    1. For TP sensor (main), arrange 3 new 1.5 V batteries (1) in series (check that total voltage is 4.5 - 5.0 V) and connect its positive terminal to "Vin" terminal (2) and negative terminal to "Ground" terminal (3) of sensor. Then using voltmeter, connect positive terminal to "Vout 1" terminal (4) of sensor and negative terminal to battery.
