How to replace / calibrate your throttle position sensor TPS (Honda)

[@Cheek_Buster]

An easy method to get off the tps is why I came and my man covered that in the first few seconds. 300 IQ. If I could give 1000 likes I would.

[@jcfoix5085]

Personne nulle part n'a jamais dit qu'il était possible d'utiliser n'importe quel capteur Honda (mais pour moteur à injection monopoint uniquement). Il suffit de la compatibilité du brochage. Ici tout est limpide, net, précis et rapide. Bravo et merci

[@Francisco-yp3yv]

I had already ordered a sensor, then I saw your video and quickly ordered a multimeter as well. Thanks for the info.

[@roberttaylor7732]

Just changed the TPS in my son’s Honda Element. Calibration instructions were perfect-thank you! (BTW, I stripped a bread wrapper to use instead of a paper clip; so thin it slides right into the connector.)

[@hondasation]

Ayeeee good idea! I was going to use a paperclip because I didn't want to cut the wires. This is that backyard mechanic hacks we need. Thanks for the idea 💪🏾💡

[@MrStinky2011]

I realize this is a couple years old, but thanks for this.

Thanks for making this simple without a lot of useless chatter.

You're amazing, I just need to get a multimeter. Thank you for showing me something new today. W for youtube.

Excellent video! Yes, I had a multimeter. No, I didn't expect that. THANK YOU!

I subscribe after i watch this.. thanks for this video

[@tim656]

Great video! This helped me do this today with a minimum of cursing. My 2002 Stepwgn had a cover over the solenoid, and was a bit of a bear to remove - so many parts and sensors had to come off to access it. I used a bent safety pin to connect the multimeter. I just cleaned and recalibrated the solenoid and will see if it holds. I was getting the p1022 code for low idle speed. Also mine did not have a replaceable gasket for the throttle body, it was a rubber one. Thanks again!

The beautiful thing about mine is that is the pair of bolts to remove the tps have no markings for a particular tool to be removed with. Such a waste of time.

[@DougHinVA]

The odd head small screws likely are JIS heads as used in many Japan cars (older Honda and Toyota).... they #2 size for a pair of 2 are about $8USD in eBay and will save messing up the heads of the 2 screws. A dab of Kroil on the screw/body of TPS will make the screws easier to remove after 5-10 minutes soaking... Theses screws are used on the IAC valve in my 2000 Corolla and they are NOT Star or Torx... they are JIS. Get the correct screw bits for the screws...

[@timnizle1]

They look like rivets? Factory torques them off and then it's in place, few options for removal

[@davidlawler4292]

I like your videos. You don't launch my speakers off the desk with blasting loud music and seizure inducing flashing lights at the beginning like everyone else does. Bravo. Simple and informative. Thanks,

What if my gasket is broken

[@rizaldepantil6737]

Hi, I have a honda civic lxi 1998 which I had cleaned its throttle body, dis assembling it except for the tps sensor. I left ir intact on the throttle body cause it's sensitive. After cleaning and assembly, I tried to start the engine but it won't. The starter motor works but the engine won't crank. And I noticed the engine check light is on when switch to acc and after cranking the engine then it turn off when I stopped. Is there any remedy for this than going to a professional mechanic whose service fee is expensive... I really appreciate for your help, thank you

[@elmersimon1175]

When u do that calibration the key needs to be in the on position??

[@cliffordjasway6817]

Love your videos informative thanks 😊 👍👍 what setting u put it on one thing u forgot thanks

[@randaloxford3582]

Hey thanks for this video I've been trying to find a video to help me replace mine that was somewhat simple and made it more practical!

[@parales03]

Amazing!!!!!!!!!! Good job!!!!!!!!!

[@keithhunter8158]

Thanks very helpful 👍

[@cadreauribe]

Do you think this fix will solve this problem: Each time I need to shif gear to D, I need to insert any long key in hole next to Shift lever, in order to unlock it and move it to D or any gear after engine start. I have a Honda Element 2006.

[@B7Jose]

Can you pop off the old carefully and just transfer it without calibrating it?

[@renzangeloescarillo8640]

This is for car only? How about motorcycle? Big bikes? Same?

[@Seltsun9]

Very professional and also so simply explained. Thanks a lot !

[@MM-vt8xg]

What if my gasket broken?

[@cmoney2604]

I have a 98 Honda accord and when i get gas sometimes and go to crank up i have to press the gas pedal a couple times in order for car to crank does that have something to do with the tps sensor ? Basically sometimes i have a hard time cranking right back up after driving for a while, my mechanic told me it was the tps sensor i just want to make sure

[@Teknakill]

I think I want to go back to the good old days with real carb engines. Screw all this sensored bul!s#iT, for real!

[@ss0abe]

Do all Honda cars run the same 5.0 volts ? I got a 99 prelude dying while driving. Im thinking of switching this sensor and the crankshaft sensor

[@JodBronson]

Yes. On the TPS, I would at least measure the Voltage to see if it's correct. If it is correct voltage, then there is no need to change it.

[@yellowdon_2424]

Questions what throttle body gasket do u use for that throttle body in the video

How to calibrate auto position sensor on 2000 Mustang GT

[@jeromegingoyon648]

What happens if the TPS is removed, does it still expected to accelerate? I have FORD Lynx model 2006, it will surge when the accel pedal is slightly depress or when I quickly push the pedal it will REV but go down immediately after. I replaced the TPS with a brandnew one but the problem still exist. But when I tried removing the TPS , the engine can still REV. It suggest the engine can work without TPS . I wonder where the computer get a signal ( with TPS removed) to REV the engine when I depress the accel pedal. Can you share your idea please. Thank you very much.

[@sarawakiansborneo418]

Thanks bro..wanna try this..i've changed my h.civic 1996 model with new one but haven't calibrate yet.ok..first reading at the red wire should be 0.50v(adjustment tps). Finally by twist the throttle cable reading around 0.45v..?

[@shannondonaldson5881]

Are the voltages the same for all tos sensors across all makes? I replaced my tps on a 1993 Ford F150 and still have a little hesitation at low speed. BTW, great video to explain how to calibrate these things. I’ve been trying to figure out this for a while now.

Hi friend, I cant calibrate 0,5 and 4,5 when I calibrate 0,5 I need rotate to get 4,5 and when I get 4,5 the value 0,5 isn`t correct anymore. What is that problem?

[@leodominguez5487]

You don’t have to jump the connector?

[@bradleyhawks8689]

Hi great video! Question for you. I was adjusting my TPS and got it to an exact 5.0 but when I open full throttle it shows 4.59. Would this be acceptable as I have adjusted many times but cant seem to get an exact 4.50 for this sensor. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

[@averyswiftwolfe9865]

Can you replace a throttle position sensor with an odb scanner if it reads throttle percentage?

[@mckoylach1622]

So,this calibration procedure of the TPS,applies to makes and models?

[@JodBronson]

Most yes, they use the 5.0 Volts as a standard.

In my 94 accord, my shift lock prevents me from shifting into gear when I calibrate it to .5volts. The least I can set it to is about 1volt, in order for me to be able to shift. Yes, this is for both old and new tps. Why is this?

How do you move adjust the tps when you calibrate it? It doesn’t look like you’re moving it at all

Does anybody knows if the TPS sensor could cause car stalling? (in low speeds)

Yes, as it will not feed the right information to the ecu. Mine would stall and low speeds if I blipped the throttle.
