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

I needed to swap my tps so I figured I'd show you guys how to do it.
00:00 intro
00:09 showing the throttle position sensor
00:54 removing the throttle position sensor
01:02 cleaning the throttle position sensor
01:26 installing the new throttle position sensor
02:00 calibrating the throttle position sensor
03:43 outro
BTW I noticed that I didn't focus the intro and the outro but I didn't feel like redoing them as I already installed the throttle body

The Goat I finally found a video for my 2000 civic ex with the TPS issue 🫡🐐

[@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 💪🏾💡

[@hondasation]

Always nice to learn something new. My CB7 tps pooped out. I didn't know they needed to be calibrated! This was super helpful

[@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,

[@MrStinky2011]

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

[@prabhakarrao4922]

Very informative and practical video. Thanks so much for taking the time to put it together and upload it to KZbin. Have a great day.

[@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!

[@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

[@performancezone786]

One in a million video for tps.great work.keep it up

[@jessedaggett9074]

So true...nice work bro

[@Francisco-yp3yv]

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

[@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.

[@Seltsun9]

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

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

[@seanmclean9137]

You do you save me from pulling the rest of the hair out spin scratching my head Raw I'm sure you're one of my cbr954rr wouldn't run shut down when throttled. I had the two connections switched around! Just wanted to say thank you

Excellent Video!!! man that's exactly what I need to know,,

[@jukeyrahman1637]

After setting with throttle closed do we need to tighten the screw first?

Is 0.5 to 4.5 the standard for all engines? Trying to adjust the sensor on a 4age ST. Thanks

[@donovanlucibello379]

Straight dope, thanks n for posting this!

[@rhertz9829]

Uitstekend!! Dank je wel.

Does this also apply to a 2001 Honda CR-V sport 2L DOHC B20B8 motor ?

[@_lifeofethan]

Thanks you really helped me out alot👍

[@elmersimon1175]

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

[@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!

[@elvissuntharesh7437]

Thank you so much for ur lovely information🥰

[@rendiix4269]

Hey man i just fixed my civic 91 change gas pump and head gasket but when I accelerate just a little at low revs the car drowns out a lil & if I accelerate hard works well do you think I have to adjust the throttle body?

[@frenkambry874]

Great video, are the values the same for a Honda S2000?

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

[@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..?

[@junaidballadin8359]

Hello, Am getting a strange problem with my honda jazz 03 automatic gearbox. When moving from neutral to drive the machine vibrate a lots as if it gonna shutdown and then become normal and repeat same low idle position. Help please. Can that be issue with tps sensor

[@lalalopez4857]

Hello sir I wanted to know if this will work on any car to test the tps how you did or just on honda ?

[@ac8721]

Simple thanks mate🙏💎

[@parales03]

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

[@JrBav]

what was the symptom that made you calibrate the TPS? thank you in advance

[@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.

[@averyswiftwolfe9865]

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

[@dpwalker3]

94 Hona Del Sol 1.6 L VTEC ...My supply voltage reads 4.1V. where do I from there? New TPS, cleaned throttle body and IAC. no trouble code 7. Is that an acceptable suppl voltage?

What about when is closed?

[@keithhunter8158]

Thanks very helpful 👍

[@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.

[@taylorsantangelo5228]

Thank you!

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

[@bigedmustafa3133]

Best video.

[@perucho8000]

Very helpful Thanks

[@theKing-bw3re]

Great video

[@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.

[@thysonsacclaim]

They're very close, yes.

[@sooolion9820]

Is the 0.5v at closed and 4.5 on fully open readings same for accord 98 model?

[@cryeredd7563]

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?

[@MrDoomzy]

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

[@Leexx876]

Thank you for this

[@doctorduckman]

would 0.5 be same value on all of other honda tps sensors?

[@mohdshuhaimi7152]

Sir...how about for honda city idsi 1.5 year 2003..

[@superholdembros2022]

Would I have to worry about calibrating if I just swapped out the entire throttle body with the MAP and the TPS on the new unit already? I ordered a oem throttle body and didn't think I would need to calibrate it.

[@TheMidnightGarage]

usually you don't need to worry about it if you have a new oem one

[@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

[@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.

[@jorgemcaldas]

Hi my honda is hesitating up and down aceleration when the engine is hot. Do you think that this problem could be the TPS too? Thank you and I liked your video. Bye.

[@TheMidnightGarage]

that could be a lot, it could also be something like vacuum, ignition related or a ground issue

[@RamchandPhagoo]

Did you find the problem?

[@demospieri8785]

Hello 0.5 volts close is the same to any car?

Only if all KZbin videos were straight to the point as this one!

[@Atah714]

So what if it's .5 and only goes to 4.1 wide open? 03 honda civic... would that be the MAP? Because after installing at the above readings the tps code cleared but threw up P1106 Baro circuit/range performance.

My god your voice 🙌🏼

[@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.

[@mpkdk]

these voltages are for all motronic tps?

[@jackdunn7652]

Question, my battery is relocated to the trunk. Can I use the negative terminal on a spare battery that is not hooked up to the car?

Hi my question is: do I turn the ignition on to calibrate the sensor? Thank you.

[@MrSauga]

yes, i heard

[@jorgemcaldas]

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?

[@RaphaelCozzi]

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

[@devonmarv]

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