Throttle Position Sensor: Rio

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2002 Kia Sportage, 2002 Kia Spectra, 2002 Kia Sedona, 2002 Kia Rio, and 2002 Kia Optima. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Turn ignition off. Disconnect TP sensor 3-pin harness connector. Measure resistance at component side between connector terminals No. 1 and 2. See Figure. With throttle fully closed, resistance should be 1.6-2.4 k/ohms. If resistances are as specified, go to next step. If resistances are not as specified, replace TP sensor as necessary.
  2. Connect TP sensor connector. Turn ignition on. Backprobe and measure voltage between TP sensor connector terminals No. 1 (White/Green) and No. 3 (Blue/Orange wire). See Figure. With throttle fully closed voltage should be .2-.8 volts. With throttle wide open, voltage should be 4.0-4.8 volts. If voltages are not as specified, replace TP sensor as necessary.
