I'm getting code 7, tps(throttle position sensor). I checked, and I'm getting 5 volts to the tps, and I checked all the wires and connections in the circuit and they look good. So then I check the voltage with the key on, and I'm getting .001v - 3.0v(closed to wide open).

My question is, will I get a code if it's not adjusted correctly, or if the initial voltage is too low? Or will it only give the code if the tps is bad? And am I getting those voltages because it isn't adjusted correctly, or has it gone bad? Thanks.

 

????

Does it give a code if the initial voltage is below 0.45v (closed voltage)? If so then I probably just need to adjust it.

 

U could try to replace it lol.

 

Did you temper with the TPS and then the Check Engine kicked on?
Even if you didnt, Accords are notorious for the code 7(tps) and also 43(O2). So you're not the only one with that problem. Replace it as others do, just like the new kid told you. Hope it fixes it.

 

its .49v closed, 4.5v at wide open throttle. you can give or take for the open reading but the closed one should be .47v to .49v.

 

lotsa guys install the tps incorrectly. The accuator arm has to engage into the slot in the throttle body arm and it does not do this on it's own, you need to check it with a meter when your done to see if it's sending a variable voltage after you installed it.
