Re: quick question tps

I used volts and set my TPS to .54v, not too sure about ohms in this case. Set the voltmeter to the lowest voltage setting (probably 20) to ensure you can get below a volt.

Hope this helps.

And you need TPS plugged in and the key on so you have voltage going to the TPS;
otherwise there will be nothing to read.

You use Ohms to see if TPS is working ( unplugged ) ; not to set it
