Need help with TPS wires
I am wiring up a transmission control unit box in my car, and have 3 wires that come out of it for the TPS. I have a red,black, and white wire. Red is power, which I understand is 5v on the TPS, black is ground, and white is the signal wire. On the TPS connector, I have 6 wires, so which 3 do I want to use?Need to know which one is the 5v, which one is the signal wire, and which one is ground. I have a 98'. Anyone that can help? Thanks!! :cheers:

Re: Need help with TPS wires (kwik8racr)
This is from a 1999 handbook.
A DK GRN +5
B PPL ground
C BLU signal 1
D YEL/BLK +5
E WHT ground
F PNK signal 2
It's a dual position sensor for security reasons. The two sensors(same housing) has opposite functionality. The signal 1 voltage increases as the throttle opens, from below 1.1V at 0% throttle to above 3.7V at 100% throttle. The signal 2 voltage decreases from above 3.9V at 0% throttle to below 1.2V at 100% throttle.
Hope this helps.
