It doesnt have any brains and is actually a dumb device. Its a bit like a volume control knob on your radio. You turn it clockwise the volume goes up, anti-clockwise the volume goes down. You cant really reset/recalibrate the volume knob. You can however recalibrate the amplifier its controlling. In the case of the TPS, the PCM reads the position of the TPS and responds accordingly. The error is only created inside the PCM.The only way to reset the error is to take battery off for 30mins and replace. A faulty TPS will send the PCM the wrong values. Replacing the TPS is the only way to fix that problem. Also, there could be a slight chance the PCM is at fault too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the actual TPS itself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the self check sequence for the TPS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
