What happens here
After diagnosing the fault, the new Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) is shown, along with the specialized bolt likely required for its installation. Before installing the new sensor, the electrical plug that connects to the TPS sensor is tested using a Klein Tools multimeter. The multimeter shows a reading of approximately 4.99 volts, confirming that the plug is receiving the correct 5-volt reference signal from the vehicle's computer.
Goal: Verify the new TPS sensor and confirm proper voltage at the connector
