Hey guys.

In this link, http://www.speedtweaks.ca/tipsandtricks.php#TPS_Mod
It tells you how to upgrade the TPS. It says to test it using the center terminal and a voltmeter.
It doesnt say however, wether to use the positive or negative side, and what to attach the other probe to. Has anyone done this before?

Just put one end to negative and one to the center wire.

Most of the time u can thin up the screws a little to get ur adjustment that would lower ur risk of possible sensor damage.

When you say negative are you referring to the negative terminal of the battery? Excuse my ignorance to these things but i would rather be safe then fry the whole sensor.

Positive wire of multimeter to center wire; negative wire of multimeter to a good ground or negative terminal of battery. Make sure you measure it with the ignition on and the truck NOT running, otherwise I believe it trips your MIL light. Then you'll either have to clear the code or reset the PCM.

It really doesn't matter which way you connect it if you have a digital metter. If you connect it backwards, it will just read negative volts instead of positive.
