To remove/replace the TPS:
1 Remove the floor pan by following the procedures
described in Chapter 2: Body.
NOTE: Disconnecting the battery pack is not necessary
when working with the sensors under the floor pan.
They run on a 5 volt signal.
2. Disconnect the two TPS pigtails from the VCM har-
ness. See Figure 4.37.
3. Disconnect the TPS actuator rod from the TPS by
removing the hair pin clip. See Figure 4.38.
NOTE: Moving the TPS housing while the actuator is still
connected can cause the sensor arm on the TPS
to over travel, damaging the TPS beyond repair.
4. Remove the screw that holds the TPS to the frame
using a 3/8" wrench. See Figure 4.39.
5. Remove the TPS from the mower
6. Install the TPS by following the previous steps in
reverse order.
NOTE: If the TPS pig tails are reversed when they are re-
connected, calibrating the sensors will correct it.
7. Calibrate the mower by following the procedures
described in the steering and TPS calibration section
of this chapter.
8. Test drive the mower in a safe area before returning
it to service.
