His vehicle had a hesitation problem and would surge and occasionally die out.  By pulling trouble codes he determined the original (OE) TPS on his vehicle was at fault.  He checked his original sensor with an ohm meter and saw some resistance changes that convinced him the sensor had failed. He went to his parts supplier and purchased a new sensor and checked it when he got home with an ohm meter.  The readings convinced him that the new sensor was defective too.  Back at the store he exchanged the first new sensor for a second and checked that new sensor at the counter.  With the same poor readings he was convinced there was a quality issue with our sensors. It is always best to test a part under the same operating conditions in which the sensor operates.  We test all our components both in the design stage and during production.  During production our analog type position sensors receive assembly grease to aid the wiper arm (with contacts) to move smoothly over the wiper pad or circuit board.  This grease will impair the reading you will receive if you check the sensor with an ohm meter.  You’re simply not moving enough voltage through the circuit. Testing a TPS requires voltage moving through the circuit and to test this sensor I suggested that he install the sensor and check the voltage signal returning to the computer.  30 minutes after our conversation this gentleman calls back and admits he learned valuable lesson. He was very appreciative of the lesson and said, you can teach an old dog a new trick!  Important Note!  By now you should be aware that Wells has taken a step forward by converting some of our analog type position sensors which contain a wiper pad (circuit board) and a set of contacts, and converting them to digital type sensors which are contactless type sensors.  Sensors using this technology cannot be tested with an ohm meter.  You must use a digital voltmeter instead.

The new Wells TPS sensors, now available for 1998-2007 Ram 2500 and 3500 models (Wells TPS346/ TPS347), feature problem-solving Hall Effect integrated circuitry that eliminates the wear-intensive contact associated with the OE parts and aftermarket alternatives. Repetitive motion of the contact fingers across the resistor board on conventional sensors can wear holes in the board, causing engine hesitation. The new Wells parts’ innovative design eliminates this contact and is also significantly more resistant to shock and vibration. Unlike competing sensors – including those offered by Dodge dealers – the new Wells TPS sensors are sold without the expensive, and rarely needed, mounting bracket.
