After I cleaned it it moved smoothly up and down, no jumping which might trick the TCU into thinking the gas was suddenly, and quickly moving, and turning on the power mode.
There is data in the how to section, which as it happens, I wrote. As explained a votmeter, ammeter or ohmeter, will not provide absolute indications of a fault, even though a worthwhile rough check can be made. What I have now suggested would be a far superior method.
