Title: TPS is NOT getting voltage.. 0 at multimeter, 0% on datalogs
Post by: marcj on June 17, 2009, 02:34:21 PM
I am really confused at this point.. I just finished installing my 780cc injectors and the car was running like shit. So I look at datalogs, idle is at 19.9 AFR, this is a tune JD did for someone else on a similar setup, so I decided to make my own basemap in crome gold.. still no good. then I notice the TPS says 0% when i rev it up in the logs.. check the voltage and I get 0 volts at any position.

So, I've checked the actual wire all the way to the ecu, and it's good. I tested it by grounding a 9volt battery on one end meeting the sensor and checked it at D11 on the ecu side.. it's all good.

Not sure what to do at this point.. I tried another ECU and TPS .. what now???

Which tps wire did you check?  The B+ source or the signal wire back to the ecu?  Do you have a good ground at the tps plug?

so far I have checked voltage between the grn/blck and yel/blu.. was only .25 volts


i get nothing from the blck/red wire from either end.

TPS plug disconnected, multimeter set to ohms, check continuity between red/blk wire tps plug pin 2, and ecu plug D pin 1. 

Check continuity between pin 3 TPS plug, yel/blu and Plug D pin 10 ecu side.

Multimeter back to Volts, with key on/engine off you should have power (.5v ish) at pin 1 of the tps plug, grn/blk.

Ignore D11, its SG2 for the ecu, but not where you need to be.

OHMs from red/blk -> D1 = 4.52
OHMs from yel/blu -> D10 = counted down to .86 then up to .94 and I ended it there
Volts from grn/blk = 0v  with key on

What was the problem?

i'm not exactly sure to be honest.. I THINK one of the pins at the obd2->obd1 jumper harness for the TPS wasn't making a connection. who knows.  after messing with the pins Robb referred (D10, D1, etc.) it worked. 3 solid hours of my life, gone forever  :-\

You better find out what happened, it may test the soles of your shoes soon

what? i've been hit by a coil before.. hurts like shit, but it's nothing to worry about.

LOL, I think he means that you better get it figured out so that it doesn't happen again, and leaves you walking. :P

it's all good, I will probably swap the whole engine harness eventually.. I see them at the junk yard all the time.

Ding ding ding
Nothing like being broke down over some stupid shit

It is guaranteed to happen when your about to show off for some hot ass chick

Did you hot-glue your obd2>1 jumper harness?  I always hot-glue the back side of the connectors to prevent that exact problem. 

As shown here.
