Hi all
Thank you Mr Rasmataz for answering to my question on Throttle Position Sensor fault.
You told me to remove the clock/radio fuse 7.5amp and if the fault still persists,to reflash the computer.
My question is:
Should I have to remove the fuse or reflash the computer when the engine is on?
Do I have to wait for the fault to appear to do the manipulation?
How to reflash the computer? -with a scanner?
Thanks and regards

The TPS fault is it still coming back? The fuse is to clear the code. Have you changed the computer? Disregard reflashing it and have the mechanic check the TPS, the wiring for it all the way to the computer and view its live data.

Leave the ignition switch off-Just remove the fuse for atleast 10secs. and then start it up and see whether the code comes back.
