THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR SYSTEM
HANDLING NOTE
Do not loosen the screw (throttle position
sensor) "1" except when changing the
throttle position sensor due to failure be-
cause it will cause a drop in engine perfor-
mance.
CHECKING THE COUPLERS AND LEADS
CONNECTION
1. Check:
• Couplers and leads connection
Rust/dust/looseness/short-circuit → Repair
or replace.
CHECKING THE THROTTLE POSITION
SENSOR
1. Inspect:
• Throttle position sensor resistance
Out of specification → Replace.
2. Inspect:
• Throttle position sensor variable resistance
Check that the resistance in increased as
the throttle grip is moved from the full close
position to the full open position.
Out of specification → Replace.
CHANGING AND ADJUSTING THE
THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR
1. Remove:
• Throttle position sensor coupler
2. Remove:
• Screw (throttle position sensor) "1"
• Throttle position sensor "2"
Loosen the screw (throttle position sensor) us-
ing the T25 bit.
