Throttle position sensor 850 1995

posted by  someone claiming to be Stefan on  Sun May 13 22:35 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I'm getting the code 2-4-3, "Throttle position sensor signal outside voltage range" on my 850. The lambda warning light comes on, and I have cleared the code a couple of times only to find out that it returns after a couple of days.

Yesterday I removed the top cover to the throttle body and (I think) located the sensor and cables. I cleaned the connector with some WD-40 and plugged it in and out a couple of times. Cleared the code, and thought that was it... Wrong! It came back this morning! :(

I'm not sure what to do. Is it just the sensor, or is it the cables? What does "outside voltage range" mean? Voltage too high? Too low? Bad sensor? I'm clueless. I'd rather not just change the sensor to find out it is the cables or something else!

Would be grateful for any advice.

Stefan
