Transmission: struggling t-5/ 4l60E
Axle/Gears: 3.08/ 3.23
2.8 vinS = o.55v ± o.1ov
5.0 vinE = <1.25v
5.0 vinF = o.54v ± o.1ov
5.7 vin8 = o.54v ± o.1ov

It's better to test the TPS with an analog voltmeter and watch for a smooth rise in voltage with the throttle opening.

If you feel that you are testing it correctly, then I would say it is toast.
