Throttle Sensor (Service Code/Character-11/tPS)

Throttle Sensor Removal/Adjustment

CAUTION

Never drop the throttle sensor [A], especially on a hard surface. Such a shock to the sensor can dam- age it.

Remove:

Seat (see Hull/Engine Hood chapter) Air filter (see air Filter Removal)

Use a Torx wrench [A] (T20, B = 3.86 mm (0.152 in.)) to remove the throttle sensor mounting screws [C].

NOTE

In the engine compartment, there is not enough space between the throttle sensor and hull to remove the Torx screws. So use an L shape Torx wrench.

When installing the throttle sensor, note the following (In the photo, the throttle sensor has been removed from the throttle body for clarity).

Align [A] the projections [B] on the throttle sensor with the throttle shaft [C] as shown when putting the throttle sensor to the throttle body.

Turn the throttle sensor counterclockwise [A] a little and temporarily tighten the throttle sensor mounting screws.
