Low readings on full range TPS
Tried searching, but I couldn't find any answers to my issue.
I recently got error code #12 on my S5 NA, hooking a multimeter up to the TPS gaves me a reading of 0.25 kohms which is half of the minimum specified value. Messing with the adjustment screw didn't change the value. Should I replace my TPS? I tested the full sweep and there were no gaps in the resistance.

Code 12 is for the full range sensor, which is not adjustable. That screw you where turning is for the narrow range.
Not adjustable and out of spec = replace.
If an S5 NA sensor is too expensive or hard to find you can buy an S5 TII sensor and put it on your existing NA bracket. I just searched on eBay and the turbo sensor is cheaper.
