Abstract

See full text

A harness for testing a throttle position sensor having wires operatively connected therein terminating in a connector. The harness comprises a card and a first cable of multiple wires hard-wired to the card at one end and terminating in a connector at the other. The connector of the first cable is removably connectable to the throttle position sensor connector. The card further comprises a second cable of multiple wires hard-wired to the card at one end and operably attached to a connector at another end. The connector of the second cable is a mate for the connector of the first cable. At least two terminals are mounted on the card and connected between the wires of the first and second cables for connecting the card to a digital volt/ohm meter. A light is mounted on the card and connected between wires of the first and second cables to determine and visually indicate the continuity of the throttle position sensor wires. In another preferred embodiment, the first cable comprises a plurality of other ends. Each of the other ends of the first cable terminates in a different connector, wherein each of the different connectors of the first cable is removably connectable to a different throttle position sensor connector. The second cable also comprises a plurality of other ends. Each of the other ends of the second cable terminates in and is attached to a different connector, each being a mate for the connectors of the first cable.
