Trouble Code Sequence

Hi Folks,

I just ran the KOEO trouble codes on my F150. I got the codes 23 and 32 which are the throttle position sensor being out of normal range and the EGR EVP sensor circut voltage below closed limit. I read my manuals and it isn't clear to me what these mean or how to fix them. I haven't done a voltage test on the sensors yet so is the voltage problem caused by the sensor or are other factors included. Also should I start with the TPS since it works in conjuction with the EGR sensor or does it really matter.


Thanks in advance

The TPS is independent of the EGR. The Haynes manual tells exactly how to test each of those sensors. What year is the truck?

Question Trouble Code Sequence

Hi steve,
It's an 87 F150 2 wheel drive. I did read the manuals and am going to do the volt checks. The only problem I have is with the EGR sensor position to do it in place like the manual says is almost impossible to see the pins. Could I do the voltage/resistance test with the sensor off?

Thanks in advance

Trouble Code Sequence

I haven't read thru the tests recently because mine has been running well, but I think I remember some of the tests being done off the engine. In any case, you can remove the 3 fasteners and rotate the EVP so you CAN see the pins, then reattach it facing the right way.
