yblocker Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Going through my new Outback still..... Right or wrong I R&Rd myTPS to see how it's looking back there, and learned that upon re-innstallation, it needs to be dialed in by adjusting it's position so it's putting out between 0.45 and 0.55 volts. It was a simple matter of connecting my volt meter to the center wire and a ground and I wound up with 0.504 volts- real close to the middle of the allowable range. My question is, what does this value have to do with its effect on how the car runs? It's a pretty wide alowable range, but I'm nut really willing to experiemnt. Anybody understand the principal here? What if the value was out of rane? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 Lucky Texan Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 The ECU gets a variable signal from it based on throttle (gas pedal) position. That allows the ECU to adjust the flow of fuel thru the injectors - possibly also passing info to the transmission control unit for proper gear selection. others here can give you more details (and will correct my statement if I got it confused lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
