tps voltage

[subarufamily]

I bought the subaru rx from rebecca and was curious as to the tps voltage was the same as the svx .5 volts ? the rx was sick and needed the coolant temp sensor replaced and was informed that the tps was out of range so was wondering if the voltage was the same so i can reset it.

I don't know but if you go over to USMB I'm sure they can help you out in no time...

Go to the "Older Generation" forums.

Did you mean TPS reports?

yes it is its universal with all most every car... should be between .45-.55 .5 optimum

I have recently set the TPS all the way one way in the slots. The ECU compensates for it, no problem. The learning circuit in the ECU does the compensation.

The TPS is prone to wear if you drive a lot with your gas foot in the same place each time. This wears a spot in the TPS resistor contacts. Not good for the TCU since it depends on the TPS reading.

I say about 130K miles of highway driven wear them out. Moving it all the way in the slots has it work on a spot that is not worn at all. In normal driving the TPS hardly moves at all so it is pretty easy to put a wear spot in it.

There is other setting information on this site that says to use 2.0 volts for setting and that depends on what two pins out of the three you connect to.

If it's bad I will move the position and try that first as that little TPS is costly.

I have also had some strange problems on a 1.8 Impreza where the TPS was bad. No CEL or other indicators. The TPS on the 1.8 impreza and SVX look the same.

Take care of that SVX

Just about all of what you just said is wrong
