VREF terminal circuit inspection

  1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
  2. Measure the voltage between the TP sensor connector (vehicle side) terminal A and body GND using a voltmeter.
    1. Measurement voltage is 0 V.
      1. Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position.
      2. Disconnect the TP sensor connector, EGR boost sensor (BP), and BARO/MAP sensor (BP WITH TC) connector (to which VREF is applied).
      3. Verify there is no continuity between the TP sensor connector (vehicle side) terminal A and body GND using an ohmmeter.
        • If there is continuity, repair the related harness for short to circuit.

      4. Inspect for continuity between the PCM connector (vehicle side) terminal 4L and each sensor connector (vehicle side) terminals to which VREF is applied using an ohmmeter.
        • If there is continuity, repair the related harnesses.

    2. Measurement voltage is B+.
      1. Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position.
      2. Disconnect the battery positive harness and battery negative harness.
      3. Verify there is no continuity between the TP sensor connector (vehicle side) terminal A and battery positive harness using an ohmmeter.
        • If there is continuity, repair the related harnesses for short to B+ circuit.
    3. Measurement voltage is approx.5 V.
      • VREF terminal of PCM is okay.
