Default Prelude SH code 7?

So I jumped the blue plug in the console by the passanger side, put the ignition in On and all it does it blink 7 times in a row with no pauses so Im guessing Im doing this right and its a code 7? TPS Sensor?

Anyone know where this sensor is?

Would I just have to replace the sensor or could it be something more than that?

I also have the ATTS light on but for the life of me I cannot read the codes. It seems like it changes every sequence? Im I just reading this wrong? Can anyone explain to me how to read the atts code?

To read the ATTS CEL, it is the same way as the Check engine light. Just follow the number of blinks for the first number...wait for the pause...then follow the number of blinks again for the second digit.

Here's a link of a DIY for the ATTS and CEL.

Thanks for the link. The only problem I have is that when I read the sequence of blinks, then refreshes and gives another totally different sequence of blinks so Im not too sure if I have more than one code or what

Might just have to take it in to get that checked but it seems like a waste of time as I can just read them myself.....if I knew how too properly

One more question. Both lights just came on randomly at the same time. About a week later both lights went out. Then about 3 days after that they both came on again.

Seems weird both my tps sensor and multiple atts codes went off at the same time. Anyone agree?

Im going to pull the radio fuse out in a minute and then see what happens too.

You can always go to any parts store and they will pull the codes for free (OBDII only not ABS or manufacturer specific codes) excluding California stores.

Im looking for one right now and no-one does this for free

I pulled the radio fuse and both lights are gone but Im guessing they'll be back.

I have been told(don't know for certain) that only the major ATTS codes will throw the ATTS light without a CEL. You can have minor issues with the ATTS(what's minor?) that won't throw the ATTS light, but if you have a CEL, all ATTS codes will come up.

^ Yes. The ABS acts the same way; the light may not be on, but if you jump the 2P connector, it may flash some non-emergency codes that it has stored in memory.

OP, the ATTS light will always come on when the CEL is on; troubleshoot the CEL first, reset the ECU, and then troubleshoot the ATTS codes if the light comes back on (which it doesn't sound like it will in your case).

The TPS sensor is on the side of the throttle body towards the firewall (passenger compartment). You can buy replacements from omnipower I believe as you cannot buy just the TPS sensor from the dealer.

Thanks for the info all

I reset the codes but they came back about two days later so that tps is bad for sure.

I thought the tps sensor was inside the TB. If not that's even better as I dont have a lot of time on my hands lately. Replacing this parts seems like it might be easier than I thought it would be though. I'll double check the service manual of course.

Hopefully there is an Omnipower dealer in my area Or I could just hit up a junk yard and pull one from a Prelude too.

Once thats replaced, like you all said, I'll clear the codes again and see if the ATTS light comes back on. I hope it doesnt

edit: I just checked Omnipower and they dont sell tps sensors for H series motors
