What do you guys use to prick your TPS wires?

5.0Torx · Nov 11, 2009

Hey all,

I think my TPS might be out of whack but my voltmeter prongs are too big for me to feel safe ramming through my itty bitty TPS wires. What do you all use to prick them without demolishing them?

Thanks,

Those sewing t pin things, they work perfect lol.

The non-invasive way is to go through the back of the connector with a thin conductor the same way the wires go in. Just make sure you have good continuity with the back probe and the TPS wire.

Ya thats what I do, I stick the T pin through the back of the connector for the wire and it works perfectly. No damage done.

I have used a small safety pin in a pinch.

+1 on safety pins. Actually keep a few of them in the toolbox.

I actually keep mine clipped around the multi-meter leads!

Safety pins here too!

Yeah, I couldn't get any sort of connection through the back of the connector.

So like everyone else said, I just stab safety pins through the wires.
